COUNTRY CHAPEL OUTREACH MINISTRY INFORMATION

"GIDEON SUNDAY" at Country Chapel. We have an annual service on the first Sunday in March, when local Gideon's and their families join us for a potluck dinner and share in the excitement of giving an offering to help the Gideon's distribute the Word of God aroundthe world. Gideon's International annual Pastor's Appreciation Banquet for all local Pastor's within the territory of each camp is alway inspiring and meaningful to local Pastors. We STRONGLY encourage you to get YOUR church excited about supporting the Gideon work. It is an inter-denominational work reaching people by working with local Pastors and churches in places where churches may not be able to go on their own. Country Chapel hosts the local Gideons on the first Sunday of March. We hear first hand reports from those who have helped distribute scripture around the world. There is always a great testimony of people who are saved as a result of the Word of God and the work of the Gideons. We are always excited about presenting them with a check to help distribute Bibles around the world. We want to assist them in the work of making the Word of God available to people all over the world, in all circumstances. It's about supporting a ministry committed to distributing the Bible, to the whole world. It's about giving to everyone the privilege of knowing the TRUTH that, "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but will have everlasting life." John 3:16		INDIA The Gospel of Jesus Christ, is faithfully preached and taught in India, by many dedicated pastors and lay leaders; in churches, homes and through various ministries. Country Chapel sends funds collected from our Sunday School and Outreach ministries, for Pastors to assist families in emergency expenses, clothing, schooling, medicine, etc... Several designated offerings have been sent, for special needs, such as buying a musical keyboard. One year our Vacation Bible School kids raised $840 for the India ministry. The Country Chapel decided to add the amount of our expenses for VBS, so we sent a total of $2500. In 1999 Pastor Steve personally delivered a very special offering of $145 collected by the 4 and 5 year olds in our Beginners Sunday School class, for the children in India. This was called the "Lad's Lunch", because in the spiritual realm of God's principles, even the smallest gifts when given in love, are multiplied miraculously. That same year, God enabled us to give the church in India, $5000.00 for their ministry. In 2001, we were able to give $1,500 to a Pastor in India to help families in need. In 2005, we sent a check for $3,000 to sponsor new pastors. In 2022, our support of the work in India continues. Praise God - He "loads us with benefits daily!"
