"I have been trying to get my congregation excited about evangelism and sharing their faith with our community for months. This is proving to be one of the best ways to do that. It’s easy! Since distributing the buttons on Sunday, I have received many phone calls from members of my congregation who are excited about the positive response they are receiving from the community. One woman told me that she was shopping and someone came up and asked her where she got her button. She took it off, gave it to the woman, then, reached into her pocket and put on another button. Later that same day, at a doctor’s appointment, she had opportunity to share her faith as a result of an inquiry about the button. Thanks for giving my people a great witnessing tool!" |

We now have a couple hundred of 'God's troops' armed with your button (as of last Sunday), which helps us make a statement about keeping 'Christmas' in culture as well fulfilling the words in Jude 1:3, 'contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.' Thank you for giving us resources to fight the good fight of faith!" |

"People are enthusiastic about the 'Wish Me a Merry Christmas Campaign.' Wearing the buttons is one way of making the point that this is not a 'generic holiday,' but it has it's origin in celebration of the fact that Jesus Christ was born into the world as the Savior. The 'Wish Me a Merry Christmas Campaign' helps perpetuate the purpose of the celebration that other religions, various groups of the non-religious and some misguided Christians are working to strip away from Christmas. Christmas is about Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us and the salvation that is available to all who will receive Him." |
