BRAND NEW MINISTRY: Faithful Life Club

Did you read about our major news announcement last month?

Have you told anyone about it? Do you know someone who might need this ministry?

Teaching Christian Virtues & Values to children, K4-6th Grades

Every thought and scripture verse is based on the King James Version

FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB has launched. Would you like to see a BRIEF INTRODUCTION for your church? Launching the ministry in your church this year isn't too late. Contact us ASAP.

This is a representation of the Faithful Life Club flag. Soaring to new heights!

FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB will impact Bible-believing church families during their mid-week services for four-year-olds through the sixth grade. This program is very versatile; it will even work during the Sunday school hour or for homeschoolers. This ministry will help families soar toward Christlikeness. This year the program will be available in English, and next year's goal will be to provide it in Spanish.

Here are the Three Branches of the Space Adventures program and the student memory work needed to become a member of the Club:

CADET (4 & 5 year olds)
Faithful Life Club’s purpose is to, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge.
EXPLORER (1-3 grades) add
...that they may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
CHALLENGER (4-6 grades)add
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT for Churches using our Club

Faithful Life Clubs are conducted by conservative Bible believing churches to support their outreach and educational efforts to young people between the ages of four years old through the sixth grade. The clubs' philosophy and materials are founded upon solid biblical doctrine.

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 Agreement will also give parents peace of mind.

Now more than ever, we need prayer and financial support to launch the FAITHFUL LIFE CLUB ministry.

We need prayer! We still have financial support needs of over $3,400 to expand the program. Love gifts during August permitted us to purchase a sizeable in-house color copier system. Bookbinding materials were given to us to assemble sample leadership binders & student handbooks. The ministry flag has been bought and delivered (pictured above).

The ministry will purchase sample uniforms for the three children's divisions and staff shirts. We have started creating marketing materials; plus, we will design and publish a brand new songbook for children over time. We have employed a commercial artist who has created NINE images which will be used in the Cadet handbooks and will be turned into Flashcards and posters. The illustrator's work is far from over, forty-five to go, at $40 each. We also need funds for a SPANISH translator and typesetter, etc. Can you help us launch the ministry with your prayer, financial assistance, and/or abilities?

Celebrating TWENTY years in the publishing ministry!!!


  • GLOBAL BOOK SALES IN AUGUST: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, India, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Singapore, & the United States.

All new work for Faithful Life Publishers and the creation of new tracts and Little Messages was suspended for July and August as we worked on Faithful Life Club.

We did not suspend our work for new book orders or printing projects. Nope, one of the most active months this year, we kept very busy.

SPEAKING OPPORTUNITY

I spoke on Sunday morning, August 7, at Victory Baptist Church in Mechanicsville, MD (southeast of Washington, D.C.). Pastor Chad Pape is interested in using the Faithful Life Club materials for his Sunday school, Lord willing.

Comments from our Readership...

I am excited about the opportunity that is out there for the clubs. I believe they will be well received and that people are looking for something to strengthen their kids outreach.

Your love gift will go a long way

Your past love gifts helped to provide tracts to Puerto Rico last month
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Your donations will help with the following:

We need your financial help to reach these expanded ministry goals. As we are able, CMS provides FREE:
