April 29, 2009 - Youth Service at Apostolic Faith United Pentecostal Church.
Tonight I introduced the idea of how to raise a lot of money for the cause of Christ, while at the same time doing something that will impact the lives of participants forever...writing the entire King James Version of the Bible.
Our church (not just the youth group) agreed tonight to join forces and accomplish something that many believe to be a crazy idea...writing the entire Bible. I believe it's just crazy enough to work!
The youth will solicit sponsors at a minimum donation of $5 per handwritten page. Our reference Bible has exactly 1,000 pages from Genesis to Revelations....resulting in a minimum of $5,000 being raised.
The youth group will decide how the money will be allocated. Currently, their choices include funding a trip to the National Youth Convention in Nashville, TN in August, 2009, as well as, purchasing Bibles for missionaries in Uganda to deliver, or donating a portion of the funds to Sheaves For Christ which buys 4x4 vehicles for missionaries, offers land grants to home missionaries, and sponsors orphans at Tupelo Children's Mansion. Other options include sponsoring clients at Windsong Ranch (a Christian based drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Sheridan, AR), as well as donating funds to various homeless shelters in the Mountain Home area. As time goes on, I'm sure they will come up with many more viable options to invest in.
To learn more, or to sponsor a youth in this project, email me at writethebible@yahoo.com, or call me at 870-404-8024.
The Bible...Write it. Learn it. Live it.
God Bless,
