Jonas Clark Gifts & Baskets

Gifting To Everyone

Are you ready for 2009?  Jonas Clark Ministries is absolutely ready for a new year.  We are exciting about our goals and plans for next year.  One of the most exciting avenues we will venture into will be selling and giving away gift baskets.  Our new facility will render us a place where we can assemble gifts and give them away to the needy.

We will also sell them to anyone whose interested in buying them, as a gift for someone.

We will also continue to reward all of volunteers, who remain committed to their volunterring roles throughout the new year.  We have 3 more huge projects we launching, one of them being prison ministry, and we will need lots of more volunteers for those projects.

Our paid staff will also benefit from wholesale gift basket prices, throughtout the year.

Anyways, giddy up for 2009.  It’s going to be a big year for our ministry.

Jonas Clark Ministries has always been about giving.  We know that during these times of job loss and a bad economy, so many people are looking for food and gifts for their kids and loved ones.

Our food, clothes and gift drive went phenominal.  The people were overwhelmed with excitement and joy.  Can you imagine receiving and unexpected Christmas dinner, at your door?

We had 27 volunteers to help us distribute all of the food and clothes.  We had 15 kids and teenagers distribute lots of toys and gifts.  The atmosphere was mind boggling, because allot of people were blessed, in many different aspects.  Even our volunteers were blessed.

So, after our successful food and gift drive, we’ve decided to make Jonas Clark ministries a full service gifting ministry that focuses on giving unique gift baskets to the needy.  Hurrah!!!!!

Though there are things that we can all do in our own lives to help ourselves and to further our search for the Lord, I feel that there are other things we can do to help others that will help us feel more fulfilled.

If there are people you know who have not recently attended a service, encourage them to come back to their good senses and reestablish their faith by attending church on a regular basis.

Additionally, invite them to join your own clergy and you can make new friends who can help spread the word with you.

This is a great way to positively affect your community by extending your own faith to those who have lost their way. Embrace your own faith and reinforce your own beliefs by encouraging all your friends and acquaintances to attend your church services to help build the clergy and help those around you find religion again.

So next time you feel the need to have a fulfilling experience, invite one of your friends to your church service, you may be surprised as how good it makes you feel!

This is a question that most people don’t ask.  Actually most people think the bible doesn’t specifically talk about eating healthy and exercising.  I know allot people follow traditions of not eating meat or even certain types of meat.  But, ask yourself, what is god’s eating plan for my life.

If your serious read the following 2 articles:

They are phenominal.  Healthy eating is absolutely important, in God’s eyes.   For the upcoming holidays, give healthy gifts to your loved ones.

How is it that one can gain more by giving than receiving? In 1936 two men met in Akron Ohio. Both were afflicted by alcoholism, a condition whereby over prolonged and excessive use of alcohol a human being can lose not only health and sanity but all generosity of spirit. At that time there was little or no hope for such people, the prognosis being death, insanity or incarceration.

Yet by using principles laid down by The Oxford Group, a fellowship who applied Christian principles to the condition they came up with a twelve step program which freed them and over the years freed millions of others from their affliction. The twelfth step deals with sharing this relief with other sufferers. They found they could only maintain their sobriety by giving freely to others what had been given to them.

This apparent paradox, that they could only maintain the state of grace that had been given to them by sharing it with others is at the heart of the program of recovery which has since been applied to many other area of addiction.

Truly it is better to give than to receive.

Our busy lifestyles make it difficult to incorporate family time and pleasure. It seems we leave for work, are gone all day, then come home to supper, chores and off to bed. The next morning we wake to do it all over again. So what’s a Christian to do?

Ensure you make practicing your faith a priority. Schedule a day to present gourmet food gifts to people in need, say prayer at every meal, and attend church on Sundays. When you make your Christianity as important as going to work or getting sleep, your life will be fulfilled in the most amazing ways.

When traveling down life’s road, there are many twists and turns. The roads branch off, change names, and dead end. Names can be deceiving and directions unclear. When in doubt, always ask God and do His will.

When Little Red Riding Hood went be bopping through the woods with a gift basket of food for her granny, did she get lost? No, she followed the signs and made it to Granny’s house safely. She was kept safe from the wicked deceptive wolf because she noticed the signs.

God gives us signs every day. We need to keep our eyes open for them. He will keep us safe from dangers if we just pay attention to Him. Remember to follow the signs, not the road.

God wants us to be generous and give. There are several passages in the Bible attesting to the fact that giving is the way of the Lord. The giving must be pure with no hidden motives. You can fool others, you can kid yourself, but the Lord will always see the truth in your heart. There are several ways to give. Volunteering is one way to show you care by giving of yourself.

Giving gifts is another way, it shows thoughtfulness. Monetary gifts are versatile and can be used where needed. Whichever method of giving you choose, it should be what works best for you.

Luke 6:38, Jesus says,
“… for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

Be a part of evangelistic society! It helps to serve the ones who are not in touch with God. Jesus wanted each one to love and prosper. Most of the churches are not able to reach out to the people outside their local area due to the financial constraints. Evangelism deals most with preaching Gospels of Jesus Christ to everyone. It is not mandatory to preach only the Christians. Moreover, serving people in lesser developed countries poses more economical problems to the local churches. They are mostly driven by the financial problems but should this mean that Gospels would always remain confined to the four walls.

Evangelism spells more than exchange of money for the services rendered. It is something that is driven towards improving life and living standards. One needs to create a cause to drive men and women towards better living. One cannot be designated as an Evangelist. It is a way of life that uses Gospel of Christ to make people understand about better life. Moreover, it is important that people should be able to experience the teachings rather than listening to them over and over again. Serving the locals and their needs would impress far better than your hundred words. Remember, Actions speaks louder than words!

Manage your budget on the people who are more adaptive. It is not wise to use your resource on the orthodox or believers of other faith. It would be easier for you put forth your point of view to a person with more adaptable attitude.

Moreover, budgets and money matters can restrict you to reach out to people. You need to be creative to put forth your belief in front of other people. Creativity would delimit your budget constraints. Moreover, it is not wise to rely on people with big titles or better reputations. You can build your own reputation. However, if you are able to get endorsements from higher ranks, it would be really helpful.

Evangelism is about reaching out with love and better life to the people. Although, you need to tread carefully along the guidelines stipulated for you, nevertheless, if you believe in your beliefs, you would be able to overcome any constraints or limitations automatically.

I am actually impressed with the Jonas Clark Ministries. I have been a believer a very long time having been saved during my youth and baptized about eight years ago. I just finished reading the article Prosperity and Evangelism. I have often wondered to myself where religion is going and for some time now it seems religion has been going into our pockets in the form of dollar bills.

I understand ministries need money to function properly and spread the word of God, but I often wonder if all that money is being put to good use. I can think of several religious leaders today who live in mansion style homes and where designer suits and jewelry. They say it is because God has blessed them for all their diligence and hard work.

Unfortunately, I wonder if their followers are hearing the gospel because it IS the word of God, or because they think the Word of God will lead them to wealth and riches. I’m not arguing being blessed, I myself have been blessed with beautiful children and a loving marriage. I just want to make sure believers are believing for the right reasons.

I agree with Jonas Clark Ministries on their stand for reform and revision of tithes and donations. We are to go forth and spread the Word of God so it is about time we as believers return to the grounds of evangelism and bring others to the knowledge and salvation of God and no longer focus on our financial rewards. After all, God will provide for us what is truly needed.

Jonas Clark Ministries is a worldwide organization that is striving to bring the word and power of God back into the lives of believers. Jonas Clark is spreading the truth of the Word as well as revealing the power that we all as believers possess against Satan and his demons. His soft cover book, Come Out!, deliberately delves into the world of possession and witchcraft and teaches us how to fight and resist the evil that struggles to consume our souls every day. Through his guide, believers can learn scriptures to cast out devils as well as reveal the hidden ways in which they enter our lives. The goal of the Jonas Clark Ministry is to give the power of God back into the hands of his faithful followers.
