Caleb
Reps
We
would like to ask your support in informing your church's
pastor, staff and members about the helpful materials that
Caleb Ministries offers. We need people like yourself to be
a contact person in your church for Caleb Ministries .
We
are currently in the process of establishing a network of
Caleb Representatives (Caleb Reps). This network will consist
of women who have a heart and a burden for helping women through
difficult losses such as miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant
death, infertility, or helping someone who is post-abortive.
Regardless of whether or not you have suffered a loss personally,
you can still represent this ministry in your church.
Here
are a number of ways you can help:
•
Get the word out in your church about the Caleb Resources
(A Resource Sheet is available online or one can
be sent to you.) The most important thing is meeting with
your pastor and/or other pastors at your church to inform
them about the Caleb Resources. We suggest purchasing a Caleb
Packet to show and explain the resources that are available.
A complete Caleb Packet will include a PAT box, Miscarriage
Bag, Hearts of Hope bag, and a sample of the books we have
available at a cost of $95.00 which includes shipping. You
may also wish to meet with other staff in the church including
the
women's ministry leaders, young married's Sunday school teachers,
etc. You may wish to participate in some or all of the following
ministry opportunities:
•
Mother's Day and Sanctity of Life Sundays: Focus
Publishing (1-800-91-FOCUS) has agreed to sell Morning
Will Come (stories of women who have lost babies) and
Living in His Forgiveness (for post-abortive women)
at 50% off for these two events during the year. You would
also want to run an announcement in your church bulletin and
newsletter introducing the ministry and explaining its mission
at this time. Click here for details
and a sample bulletin write up or you may email
the ministry and request it.
•
Missions Fair: If your church does a Missions
Fair this would be an excellent time to set up a table with
the Caleb Resources. Just let us know and we can be of help
to you with this.
•
Laminated Bookmarks : Keep the bookmarks,
Helps For Women , available in brochure racks and
throughout the church. The bookmark does a beautiful job explaining
the various resources that are available through Caleb Ministries
.
•
Financial Support: Many churches regularly
support missions in their church. Caleb Ministries can give
you an extra packet of materials and copies of our books to
acquaint the Missions Board with our specific ministry needs
. Caleb Ministries is a 501(c) 3 organization.
•
Pray for the ministry: We will send emails
periodically with prayer requests.
The
position of a Caleb Rep is a new and evolving one. Each representative
and church will be different so the way in which the role
is carried out will be different as well. With prayer and
consideration, every woman with a heart for helping women
who are hurting will know how best to represent the ministry,
and thus further the eternal message of God's love, support,
and encouragement.
Please
prayerfully consider becoming a member of our representative
network. Please contact me at sandy@calebministries.org
or at 704.841.1320 if you would like to be a Caleb Rep
in your church or if you have questions. Thank you, in advance,
for your time and consideration.

His Grace,
