Reminder: Sponsorship Packets and Money Due are February 21st for “Spread the Love”.
We are gearing up to spread the word to the world about the Gospel! Since 2008, Faith Christian School K-12 students have been given the opportunity to assemble Bibles with Bearing Precious Seed. These small Bibles (John & Romans) spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to countries all over the world. We have been packing shoebox gifts for children in need around the world since 2009 through the life changing ministry of Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. How exciting that we can be a part of these awesome missions!
Every Bible made costs just about $.20. Can you imagine? For the price of a coffee, we can send 15 Bibles to the hands of the people that span the globe! Shoebox gifts can be packed and delivered into the hands of little ones for as little as $15 each with any small amount making a great contribution toward the overall number. ALL “Spread the Love” donations will be shared between these two worldwide ministries as needed.
In most recent years, FCS has assembled Bibles that have travelled to Hungary (2008), Ghana/France (2009), Ivory Coast (2010), Togo (2011), Mozambique (2012), Peru (2013), Hungary (2014), Czech Republic (2015), Italy (2016), Sierra Leone (2017), in 2018 Croatia (15,000 Bibles) & Mexico (10,000 Bibles), in 2019 the Ivory Coast (28,600 Bibles), in 2021 Mexico (20,000 Bibles), in 2022 Ukraine (26,700 Bibles) and Bulgaria (26,400) totaling 400,000 Bibles. And it gets even better! Every Bible reaches 7 people! Those little Bibles have reached 3,200,000 people! Praise the Lord! What a ripple our little school can have for the Gospel!
Additionally, each year our students have packed Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts with a total of over 6,550 boxes sent! We have had shoeboxes delivered to the Phillipines, Honduras, Malawi (Africa), Lesotho (Africa), Zambia (Africa), The Dominican Republic, South Africa and many hard to reach countries. Some students have even received letters and pictures from gift recipients!
This year, we are excited to involve our own communities into this ripple. Students were sent home with an envelope containing a Sponsor Form. Each sponsor can participate with as little as $1.00, but up to whatever God puts on their heart. Together, we can spread the love of Christ throughout the world with Bibles and Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts.
