It is time to RSVP for Persecuted, Not Forsaken! Be sure to get your name in to be a part of this exciting evening of powerful testimony from the persecuted church. You can RSVP by e-mailing Remember, or by calling us at (843) 408-7848.
And if you would like to be an even bigger blessing to the needs of the persecuted church, you can become one of our “clipboarders.” If you are willing to tell your friends, family, and church members about the banquet on October 2, I would love to send you a clipboard full of sign up sheets so that they can sign up on the spot to attend. Last year our clipboarders were unbelievably powerful advertising agents - and the result was spectacular!
Our October 2 banquet is quickly approaching, and preparations are entering full swing. Last year, we were blessed with almost 600 attendees, and this year, we’re hoping for 1,000! We received excellent reports on how our presentation touched the lives of the people that attended, and we raised tens of thousands of dollars to go towards the needs of those we serve.
As I’m sure you can guess, a banquet like this is not cheap, and we are looking for sponsors who will assist us in off-setting the costs. Since we believe in giving all the money raised that night to the needs of the persecuted church - our normal 100% promise - we must independently raise this money. A sponsorship is an investment of sorts; it gives us the ability to go out and raise even more money for the work that we are doing.
Will you consider sponsoring? Our sponsorship “levels” start at $500, but you can give towards the banquet in any amount - just designate the word “banquet” on your check or in the memo line of your credit card donation. Thank you for investing in this great event and the blessing it will be to suffering saints all over the world!
The list of countries that are persecuting Christians is a long one, and part of Remember’s goal is to raise awareness of those countries so that we can pray in an informed, effective manner. Here’s the next step in the “Country Focus” series:
One of the great things about having a dedicated and hard-working summer intern is that he can take care of some of the projects that I have had simmering on the back burner for quite a while.
One of those is uploading our videos to YouTube. Take a look at the new RememberThose video channel!
As I write this, we have four videos ready to watch - but stay tuned, as more are coming. If you're a YouTube user, be sure to subscribe to our video feed!
I'm more than happy to announce that all of you web-publishing folks out there now have a terrific opportunity to use your webspace to promote the work that Remember is doing for the persecuted church.
Check out www.rememberthose.org/banners to get your custom code, paste it in your HTML, and you will be doing us - and the people we serve - a huge favor. We have three different sizes and shapes to fit on your site.
The design is based on our upcoming banquet theme, but these banners can be used at any time to bring attention to the needs of persecuted Christians. Thanks for raising awareness and promoting hope!
All over the world, Christians are suffering for the sake of Christ.They are the persecuted church – suffering in prison and hunger, never certain when they may be called upon to pay the ultimate price.
Though they are persecuted, they are not forsaken.They serve our faithful God—and they have the Body of Christ to bear them up.They are not forsaken because you are God’s tool to provide for their needs.
So join us on October 2, 2008,
for Remember’s second annual fundraising banquet,
“Persecuted, Not Forsaken.”
It will be a night of compelling video presentations straight from the persecuted church, and a chance for you to get involved in blessing them.Contact Rememberfor more information!
