Providing Solutions to Serve the Savior
Faithful Life Ministries continues to move forward with your prayer and financial support! We can't thank you enough for the encouragement you continue to give us. Your uplifting support is deeply appreciated and needed!
CREOLE BIBLE PROJECT
We are praising the Lord that all the funds necessary have been raised for the printing and shipping of the Creole Bible. Thank you for your support as we worked on this lengthy project.
Below is the intial introduction to the project.
We have been asked to produce a brand-new Creole Bible from The Carpenter's Project. It will contain Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament. The hardcover Bible will be about 700 pages long, measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. The ministry will print 3,000 copies and distribute them through an airplane outreach ministry, delivering about 500 per trip. Their initial goal is to send them to churches in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Haitian-populated areas in the United States, such as Indianapolis, IN. In time, they may be flown into Chili. The printing and shipping costs for the project will be over $25,000.
Do you know this Board Member?
Dr. Robert Sutton
While serving the Lord at Winkler Road Baptist Church in Fort Myers, Florida, Jim and Una Wendorf joined the church, and soon after, my wife and I became good friends with them. The Lord directed them to get Faithful Life Publishers back up and running in Florida. Shortly thereafter, Jim created Church Ministry Solutions, and we moved most of our printing needs to them. CMS printed all our tracts, brochures, banners, and mailouts.
Ten years ago, the Lord opened the door for us to start the Florida Capital Connection, and CMS began printing all of our publications. Now that I am pastoring in Tallahassee, Florida, CMS takes care of all our printing needs at Southwood Baptist Church. I am blessed to be a board member of Church Ministry Solutions and know Church Ministry Solutions is a ministry that will always honor the Lord Jesus Christ in all its dealings. ___________________________

... those who needed help with their graphic arts programs, especially Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. We can also assist with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint programs. By the way, we only use PC programs in our work. This is a monthly occurrence.
... every person with a printing project. We critique each job and always look for ways we can improve their print projects. If we find an issue, we will correct the customer's print project rather than return it (if possible). We make sure each print job is the right size (if the print goes to the edge, we make sure they added .125 inches, making a 4 x 6 job, 4.125 x 6.125) for bleed; move text when it is too close to the edge; and we change files if they were not submitted as RGB, instead of CMYK. The list of technical help goes on to ensure that each customer receives the best print job possible. We invest much time and effort into this and don't charge extra. Why? Because it is part of our ministry.
... any church or person that needs new tracts or Little Messages. We will place their contact information on them without charge.
... previous customers who need changes made to their last print job. We provide those changes for free.

CLICK to read about FAITHFUL LIFE PUBLISHERS

We continue to have monthly book sales throughout the United States, Australia, China, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Poland, and Spain.
In April, we added ONE new FAITHFUL LIFE PUBLISHERS paperback title. There are more books coming, we just couldn't get them finished up by the end of April. The Creole Bible has taken a long time to layout.
- Revival That Remains by Rick Aldridge lives in Havelock, NC. The book measures 6 x 9 inches and is 162 pages long.
Revival That Remains
In the mid-to-late 20th century, a spirit of revival moved through Eastern North Carolina. This revival was not limited to churches but manifested itself in numerous businesses as well. One soul winner in particular won many to the Lord, and a number of those he won went on to become preachers. Some of those preachers began significant worldwide ministries. Another pastor was moved to begin a mission agency. Revival That Remains gives brief accounts of these soulwinning efforts and the beginnings of these churches and ministries.
However, this book is much more than a historical record: it also documents how the revival of the past continues to this day. It gives examples of how the fruit of that revival has matured. The accounts are somewhat localized, but the God Who stirred that revival and Who acted on behalf of His servants is unchanging and omnipresent. This book will inspire believers everywhere:
- To trust God more
- To pray more diligently for revival in our day
- To make a greater effort to win souls to Christ
- To support the ministries that God has initiated in the past.
This new website continues to take better shape.
CLICK to read about CHURCH MINISTRY SOLUTIONS price drops.
We have been recognized as one of the leading printers in the field. The company that handles most of our printing has lowered our prices for the rest of this year.
We always encourage those who need printing to shop around. We usually beat the competition in price and delivery time. This recognition will improve our prices even more. If our quote is higher for a project, we will do our best to beat the competitor's price.
Depending on when an order is placed (time of day), we can print and deliver projects anywhere in the country within just a day or two. This makes us one of the states' most economical and fastest Christian printers.
EVERY DOOR DIRECT MAIL
The beauty behind our service is that we make the process as easy as possible for those who use it. Designing and printing can be trusted to attract attention. We take all of the painstaking USPS work out of your hands. We bundle the mailing, fill out all of the paperwork, distribute the mailing to your post office, and pay them. All this by the date that you want them to be delivered.
- No mailing list is required. Use our interactive mapping tool to help your ministry choose what area to saturate through USPS routes.
- Choose the date that is best for you. The site provides a calendar to easily plan when to place your mailing in your neighbor's mailbox.
- Endless marketing possibilities. Choose from our diverse selection of postcard sizes and finishing options.
- Full-service solution. With EDDM Full-Service, ordering online is quick and simple. We save you time and effort – believe me, if you did the whole process yourself, you would find it a pain.
FUTURE EVENTS that you may want to promote with a mailing! Mother's Day, Graduation service, Father's Day, or your next community event to reach the lost. How can we help you?
We gladly print tracts with your church information on them. We don't charge extra to do this. Be sure to visit the Church Ministry Solutions website to see over 100 tracts and Solutions to Serve the Savior that might be a blessing to your church.

When a church, ministry, or person orders new tracts or Little Messages, we include their contact information on them without charge. This helps to keep the overall cost of tracts down considerably. Many times, we design all of our printed items for free if we are going to print them for churches or ministries.
If you are a skilled graphic designer, you can save money by uploading your project directly to our website, Print This For Me.
After your project is designed, our website will process your order at a reduced rate.
