$25 will
almost buy a tank of gasoline; $25 will probably buy a nice meal for
a couple in a local restaurant. With $25, one could shop at Walmart
and purchase an inexpensive pair of shoes. BUT… look what $25
a month will do for the Kingdom of God!
The CDEA has researched just how much it cost to plant a church. While the
total cost is thousands of dollars, it figures out to just $25 a month to reach
one person for Christ through a new church. That is $300 a year!
The Chicago District Evangelistic Association would like to invite you to become
a Harvest Partner and help to reach at least one person through a new church.
Mary is one of the thousands of people reached through a new church. Mary’s
first contact with a new CDEA church was through the mail. Mary had received
the mass mailer cards announcing the birth of North Star Christian Church.
Mary looked at the cards and decided that she would attend at least once, because
of her kids. Mary later told us that the main reason she started attending
North Star was because her children didn’t know the Lord’s Prayer.
Bill had problems with alcohol. He considered himself a musician but couldn’t
earn a living at it. Problems with alcohol lead to problems with drugs, which
lead to even more severe problems. One day, while watching the morning news,
Bill saw the bar he frequented on the news. Someone had entered the bar, angry
at life, and shot and killed an innocent man. Bill knew that could have been
him who was killed. Bill recognized this as a wake up call to life. Bill started
attending a new CDEA church and is getting his life in order.
$25 a month for a year helped to bring the saving message of Jesus Christ to
these people. Will you become a CDEA Harvest Partner and help to change lives?
Please consider your generous gift to help plant churches…because $25
a month is a great investment to help change the world, one person at a time.
