Dear Friend,                                                                   March 11, 2008

Did you know that CBE has a prison ministry? CBE not only corresponds with inmates, we also send them resources on gender and the Bible. Last year we held a conference in a women’s prison, in partnership with Evangelicals for Social Action. At this event we learned that women are often incarcerated for retaliating against domestic violence. Feelings of worthlessness are often reasons women become involved in unhealthy relationships. That is why we need your partnership!

We still need $5,280 to buy 1,000 copies of two books to place in prisons.

Contribute today!
 

We have an opportunity to partner with the Christian Library International (CLI), sending two books to 1,000 prison libraries. These books minister to men and women at a point when they are searching for answers. They are open to learning more about God, and the dignity God extends women. Plus, prisoners have time to read! Lives are being radically changed by these books! One inmate said she shared her donated book “to the point that it wore out.”

Each book has the potential of reaching hundreds of prisoners! If we send 1,000 prisons two books, and each book reaches 200 individuals the first year we could reach 400,000 individuals! We need your help in reaching this goal. 

The two books we would like to send are: All God’s People by John Phelan and Called and Gifted by Sharon Cairns Mann. We selected these titles because they celebrate the value and shared leadership God gives both men and women.

The publisher is giving us a great discount, and we've already raised $700 towards our goal. But we still need to raise $5,280 to buy 1,000 copies of each book! Will you give us a hand? You can look up the project on the website of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

Will you join us in this exciting opportunity? Remember that one book will touch many lives! Please respond generously today!

Jesus expressed his personal care for the prisoner, and now we “visit” the prisoner in Jesus’ name. Join us today!

In Christ,

Mimi Haddad
President
P.S.
For every new gift of $1,000 CBE will send you a copy of The Second Eve: Understanding Biblical Equality, by Bette Boersma.
