Dear friends,
Thank you for supporting us and praying for us over the past seven years. The Lord has truly brought us far from when we were just newly married and deciding to buy a printer and building a website to sell a few Christian and Pro-Life designs that the Lord had put in our hearts. Even though it is still just the two of us, we are now operating three Christian merchandise sites and offer a wide variety of products. Most importantly, though, we have “met” (most through the wonder of technology) thousands of strong Christian people with a love for spreading the Gospel. If you have ever called us for any reason, you know that we like to get to know you personally and offer prayer for you.
After reflecting on the Easter message of new life and renewal, we have decided to shut down production for a few days to do just that – renew. First, we will be visiting friends and family. Running a small business means long work days and usually even working on the weekends. We put ourselves entirely into our work. This is not a bad thing – we are doing what we love, as the saying goes. We are helping thousands of Christians get the word out about Christ. Pro-lifers wear our shirts every day and bring Christ’s message about “the least of these” to the forefront of the community. The Lord has blessed us with so many new friends and relationships through our work. However, we are sure that we will benefit from refreshing and retooling our spirits in the presence of friends and family.
During this time, we will also be in prayer about where the Lord is leading us this year. We have several new opportunities – both personally and related to our business. We will be seeking the Lord’s guidance in each and every decision.
Action: We will be in prayer for the Lord’s guidance in our lives this year – please join us in this prayer both for us as well as for you and your family. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thess 5:16-18)
Then, just before we start up production again next week, we will be expanding our production capabilities. While we are not filling orders, we will be having a massive sale to make room for the many new exciting products for 2010. Next week, we will begin to reveal them!
Action: Put your FAITH on! Now is the time to shop. Orders won’t ship until next week, but now is the time to get order your shirts for VBS, Pro-Life T-shirt week, or just for putting your FAITH on every day!
Action: Don’t let your friends miss out on the sale right now and the exciting new items coming to ChristianShirts.net. Share us on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else you go either in person or on the world wide web. We support several Christian missionaries from around the world and pro-life groups throughout the year, and we can’t do it without great people like you!
Yours in Christ,
Jim and Rachelle
