THE APPEAL: “Marvin’s Million” is a project to put ONE MILLION free Bibles into the hands of spiritually hungry Africans. All over Africa. I’ve been one of a few people stumping the country to find money to pay for the Bibles. A few years ago I was doing 30 trips a year; so everywhere I went I showed a 4 minute dvd; gave out brochures and urged people to give. By that method we have raised enough money for 300,000 Bibles to be distributed in public schools, and many other avenues over the last five years. I am now 77 years old; not travelling as much as I used to. Limiting my travels to about 8-10 trips, mainly missions trips to Africa (2 per year); one to Australia and not many more. Contributions have fallen off since I’m not out there speaking and handing out brochures for BFA.
There must be a change in strategy; Here’s what I propose as my new plan of operation.
1. Area Fund Raisers: I will be contacting churches of the Tulsa area (and within 100 mile radius of Tulsa) to let me come show my pictures, make the appeal for BFA and give out brochures. You can let the Holy Spirit lead with what you do with the brochures. I’ll be contacting churches; but would some of you “contact me”??? Write POBox 691964, Tulsa, Ok., 74169, email, marvin@marvinphillips.org or call me at 918 630 1421. I’ll come to your church and bless your people with an opportunity to put Bibles in the hands of people in Africa who will read them, become Christians and help evangelize Africa. HOW ABOUT CALLING ME TODAY???
2. HELP ME FIND PERSONAL “GENEROUS GIVERS”!
Our largest single contribution has been $100,000.00. We’ve had one at $10,000.00, and several at the $1,000.00 level. One giver gives $500.00 per month to adopt a single school and see that Bibles are given to ALL students in that school in Venda, South africa. Are you one of those “generous givers”? Do you know someone like that who can help? I NEED TO TALK TO THEM! HAVE THEM CONTACT ME AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBERS!
