Keeping Eternity in RE-View (September)
How are you doing with your book? We started January 2022 with a challenge; to look at our lives as a book that contains 12 chapters with 365 pages. I am taking the challenge myself. Let's review some of the September topics that I have chosen to be in my book:
PRINTING MINISTRY:
• Printing projects for churches/ministries (13) or individuals/businesses (05)
- Churches/ministries: 8,262 pieces (12 Banners)
- Little Messages / CMS Tracts printed = 27,000 pieces
- Individuals/businesses: 3,200 pieces
- TOTAL for September = 38,462 pieces
• EDDM mailings (0) 000 total pieces were sent to homes and businesses
• Direct mailing pieces = 0000 pieces
CMS DONATIONS:
During September, we donated our time to help:
- A local Christian Therapist with his stationery needs.
- A local Christian school needed 12 banners for their upcoming fundraiser; we designed them at no cost.
- We created a new business card for the Case Music Ministry.
- We designed stationery and business cards for another FL ministry.
- Biblical Family Ministry, by editing and laying out their newsletter.
- A local eye doctor with his new business card design.
- Edited a flyer for a local community subdivision.
- Designed two new tracts for Buckingham Baptist Church.
After the above tasks were approved, we printed all of their projects.
BRAND NEW MINISTRY: Faithful Life Club
I am just so excited about what the Lord is doing!!!
Have you prayed for this ministry? Have you told anyone about it?
FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB is ready to launch. Launching the ministry in your church this year is probably too late. However, we have lessons for the first quarter that are ready whenever you are. Would you like to see a BRIEF INTRODUCTION for your church? Contact us ASAP.
If not this year, maybe you could start this in your church next year!
FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB will impact Bible-believing church families who have children, four-year-olds through the sixth grade. This ministry will help families soar toward Christlikeness. The Club program, designed to be implemented during the mid-week service time, is very versatile; it will even work during the Sunday school hour or for Christian schools and homeschoolers.
This year the program will be available in English, and next year's goal (2023-2024) will be to provide it in Spanish.
________________________________________
KEY VERSES AND PROMISE to have a FAITHFUL LIFE.
Verses 5-7 are the verses from where we established Faithful Life Club.
2 Peter 1:5-10
KEY VERSES:
5giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
GOD'S PROMISES:
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Two key "action" words in this passage are: DILIGENCE and ABOUND. What is the promise? For those who take action, they will never be barren or unfruitful!
Verse 10 tells us that we will never fall if we do these things.
PERSONAL FAILURE:
But, verse 9 warns us of what may happen if we get lazy in our Christian walk.
9 blind, and cannot see afar off,forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
WHAT ARE PARENTS SUPPOSE TO DO? Focus on Deuteronomy 6:6-7
6commandmentsstatutesjudgments
7 diligently
Parents, should be comforted. We will diligently help you to educate your children how to live for God.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT for Churches using our Club
Conservative Bible-believing churches conduct Faithful Life Clubs to support their outreach and educational efforts to young people between the ages of four through the sixth grade. The clubs' philosophy and materials are founded upon solid biblical doctrine.
The Key Elements of Doctrine are:
- Believe in the inspiration and infallibility of the sixty-six books of the Bible.
- Belief in the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) recognizing the deity of Jesus Christ and the personhood of the Holy Spirit.
- Salvation by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ paid for all men's sins through the shedding of His blood and then arose from the dead on the third day.
- The promise of the Savior's sure return in harmony with Pre-Tribulational and Pre-Millennial views of Eschatology.
Signing the Yearly Participation Agreement assures church leadership that they will be uniting with other ministries of like precious faith. The signed Agreement will also give parents peace of mind.

We need prayer and financial support to help with the FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB ministry.
We need prayer!
- For reaching new churches/ministries (this year and next).
- To have creative, directional ideas and for the development of marketing materials.
- Translation work into Spanish for next season. We already have someone who is going to do this for us.
- For developing a new, Faithful Life Club Songbook for instrumentalists and children. There will be many traditional and new songs that will be introduced. Pray for the person helping me with this project.
- I will be working on a new book on the process of introducing Christian virtues and values to children. The focus will be on developing church workers who will work alongside parents in the task. A few authors from Faithful Life Publishers have agreed to let me quote from their books. All royalties will be poured into Faithful Life Club.
We still have financial support needs of over $3,400 to expand the program. We praise the Lord for love gifts during August, which permitted us to purchase a sizeable in-house color copier system. We were given bookbinding materials to assemble sample leadership binders, student handbooks, game books, and songbooks.
I still need to design a logo that can be screen printed onto the clubber's shirts and one simple enough to be embroidered onto staff shirts. The first logo was too complicated for the seamstress. It sure looks great on the flag.
We have employed a commercial artist who has created NINE original drawings, which will be used in the Fall Cadet handbooks and turned into Flashcards and posters. The illustrator's work is far from over; there are forty-five illustrations to go over the next two years, and they will cost an extra $2000. We also need funds for the SPANISH translator and typesetter before they can start their work.
Can you help us launch the ministry with your prayer, financial support, and abilities?
- GLOBAL BOOK SALES IN SEPTEMBER: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, India, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Singapore, & the United States.
We thought August was busy. September was one of the most active months this year; we kept very busy. We kept up with all new book orders, graphic design, and printing projects. Editing is progressing, with a new book coming out in October.
A BRAND NEW WEBSITE for CMS
We have used this email address, info@ChurchMinistrySolutions.com, for years. But, this ministry has never had its own website; it was buried in the Faithful Life Publishers website. Sharing this website was confusing and made it difficult for this particular ministry to be noticed.
THAT HAS ALL CHANGED!!!
We went live with the new site in September. There are 94 Little Messages, Original Tracts, and features on the new site; several you have never seen or used before. A huge bonus will be that ALL tracts will come with FREE SHIPPING! You can contact us in so many new unique ways.
We have divided the 94 tracts and displays into SEVEN different categories:
- Evangelistic Little Messages
- Thank You (TIP cards)
- Seasonal Little Messages
- Encouragement Little Messages
- Folding Tract Cards (3.5 x 4 inches)
- Quality Tracts (4 and 6 panels folded down to 3.5 x 6 inches)
- Tract Wall Displays
If you haven't seen the site yet, take time to check it out by clicking the link:
Reviews on the site will convince others about our ministry, quality, integrity, and service. It would be highly appreciated if you would leave a Review. There is a special place on the site to do this.
