The church in Orangevale, California has a Print Ministry that provides many of the student books that we use in the WEI program, and they print them free of charge. This makes it possible for WEI to send free materials to national preachers at home and abroad. The Orangevale church is, therefore, a full partner with WEI in world evangelism.
Jim McPeak, Director of the Print Ministry, writes, “It is exciting to be printing WEI lessons in so many different languages, especially now that they are in Spanish. What a wonderful tool to help reach Mexico, Central and South America, etc. But I can’t help wonder at the possibilities right here in the USA as well. There is a significant need and desire within our Hispanic communities to learn English. What better way to teach English than by using the Bible as the text book? Let us know as you need more lessons printed. Thanks for the opportunity to serve!
“The Orangevale Print Ministry is a good example of partnership between two congregations. First, the Orangevale church prints and folds the pages. Then, the Orangevale and Fairfield churches of Christ participate in collating, stapling, and trimming the books that are eventually used to reach the lost for Christ. Here is a recent picture of some of the team members.”
Jim continues, “One of the side benefits to this Print Ministry is the fellowship enjoyed while the work is being done. Are there other congregations that might want to participate in a similar Print Ministry? Please consider this possibility as you look to the future of your own congregation.”
