THE WELL MINISTRIES:

A story has been told of a missionary speaking in his home church. One day while he was caring for an injured man, the man confessed that he had been part of a group who wanted to attack and rob the missionary. The man and his friends followed the missionary to his campsite but when they approched the area they saw that campsite was being protected by 26 armed guards so they ran away. At this point in his message a man in the congregation stood up to tell that on the same date he felt led to call together a group of men to pray for the missionary. He asked all those men to stand — there were 26 of them.

Whether this story is true or not is not the point but the fact is that missionaries need our prayer support. Do you or your church have specific missionaries that you support?

Many people think that missionaries are only in foreign countries but do you know that foreign countries send more missionaries to the United States than we send there? They know we need the work of missionaries here in the USA as much as any foreign country!

Did you know that every Christian is a missionary? Jesus says in Matthew 28:19-20, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” He has sent each one of us on a mission. You don’t have to wait for your pastor to give you some certificate or special blessing. You have already received that from the King of Kings!

Where is your mission field? Is it your workplace, your child’s school, your grocery store, your neighborhood? There are so many possibilities to reach the lost for Christ and you don’t have to go far to do it. It doesn’t take any schooling and you don’t have to even recite Scripture to do it. A gentle smile, a warm greeting, a helping hand, dinner to a lonely widow, a phone call, a greeting card, visit to a shut-in, are all ways you can be a missionary in your own city! Let people see the love of Jesus in and through you with your actions and attitudes.

Become the missionary Christ intended for you to be!

The Well Ministries itself is a missionary for Christ and we have been doing this for 11 years now! We reach out to the lonely and depressed, to the ones who need encouraged, to the hurting…and we could use your help. We are in need of support both prayerfully and financially.
Many churches, missionaries and non-profit organizations are suffering financially because of the economy and we are no different. Please help us and pray that God will send workers to help in His harvest!

Will you consider sponsoring all or part of printing this publication? Would you be willing to sponsor Chalice or Puppets for the King to reach out to your church or another church, neighborhood, community, or nursing home? Would you commit to pray for our ministry?

Last year Chalice did 39 music programs. The Puppets did 15. We printed and distributed 3 issues of The Well totalling about 9000 copies. In the 11 years of ministry we have produced and distributed nearly 160,000 copies of The Well!

You can help us in our mission of “Providing a Drink of Living Water to a Dry and Thirsty World” – consider sponsoring an issue of The Well by donating all or part of the money required to produce it. Maybe you would like to donate enough to cover the postage to mail them out. ($200) Maybe you would like to donate enough to cover the cost of the paper. ($250) Maybe you would like to donate enough to cover the cost of the printing. ($1400) Maybe you would like to donate enough for the whole shebang! ($1850) For every $1850 we get that is marked for The Well Production we will be able to get an issue out. Wouldn’t it be nice to get out 6 issues this year? ($11,100) Sure, that’s alot of money, oh ye of little faith! With God, all things are possible!
