We call it the Missionary Sponsorship Program for a reason, because you are becoming missionaries by providing a way for God’s missionaries on the field to take the Word of God to the people. They couldn’t do the most important job in the world without your help.
Most of the time the missionary projects include sending Message material to other young believers, sponsoring a missionary brother on a trip to distribute material and introduce the prophet, or simply providing spiritual and natural food to send to needy believers. This time, your Jesus Jars will go towards a special sponsorship project that will directly witness to thousands and thousands of people in the country of Zimbabwe.
We would like to ask you to start saving up your Jesus Jars to help us create 2 HUGE witnessing tracts that we will be sending to Zimbabwe to be posted on huge billboards. The billboards will be located in 2 different locations in the capital city of Harare, the largest, most populated city in Zimbabwe.
We’re excited to see the Message of God’s prophet displayed for ALL to see.
