ChildCare Action Project:
Christian Analysis of American Culture (CAP)
A Sad Affair
I am exceedingly distraught about this page but I don't know what else to do.
The future of the CAP Ministry depends on you, our users. December will determine whether we continue. It has gotten that bad.
This plea is not directed at the precious few who have donated regularly for years nor at those who have given large one-time donations nor at those who offer sizable donations on an occasional basis. Nor is it directed at the few who simply cannot afford to make regular donations to the CAP Ministry. It is directed at the thousands upon thousands who use our services leaving you who do donate to provide all the resources we receive. It is directed at those who are members of the 20-80 rule group in which 20 percent of the people provide 80 percent of the resources. More accurately in the case of donors/users and the CAP Ministry, that would be the 1-99 rule since less than one percent of our users donate to the CAP Ministry.
I have taken this to the Cross more times than I can count. And each time I get signals that I am doing what He wants me to do. The only thing I am more assured of than Jesus wanting me to continue this ministry is my own Salvation through the Precious Blood. But we are not getting nearly the amount of resources we need to continue. I can no longer use family funds to finance this ministry.
I even asked Jesus in prayer, also more than once, whether the severe lack of donations to this, His ministry through me, is indication it is His Will that the CAP Ministry ends. Each time the signals He sent were His Will is that the CAP Ministry continues long-term, that the severe lack of donations is not His Will but is the will of the people: of they who use His services through me but offer no support. And if it is the will of the people it is a matter of the freedom of choice He gave them: a freedom He will not take away for any reason; a freedom for which they are accountable, not He.
Yes, my sinfully doubting heart thought, too, that if He wanted this ministry to have financial support He would make it happen. To that, I remind us that He will not take away our freedom of choice for any reason. If we choose not to donate, it is our choice, not His. Won't you let Him bless you by making generous, regular donations to this nonprofit, 501(c)(3) Christian ministry? A precious few have and have never expressed any regret in doing so. Not one. Not once.
The CAP Ministry is not some web site of somebody who has nothing better to do or who uses it to get to see movies. I have seen more than 1000 movies and I can assure you like no one else can that I do not go to them for enjoyment. But I truly do enjoy using the entertainment industry and how it measures up under His Word to share with you His Word. The CAP is a full-force Christian ministry, fully authorized by the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Texas, preaching the Word of God and the Gospel through His Word.
Some have even admitted to having come to a personal relationship with Jesus because of His Work through this ministry. How much is that worth!? If I were a betting man I would bet it is worth a l-o-t to they who have made the Decision who now know they will be spending eternity in Paradise instead of the lake of burning sulphur where the fire relentlessly burns but never consumes that which it burns.
It is indeed a sad affair when I have to beg for financial support. But if doing so will praise and glorify He who commissioned me with this ministry; if it will make Him greater by making myself lesser, I will do it. Boldly. Unashamedly.
Your pastor asks you to join in prayer and I now also ask the same. Pray fervently for His Will for you regarding your support of this ministry to your little ones through you in His name by His Word. I beg you. In His name and to His glory I beg you.
In Service to His Little Ones through their Parents and Grandparents in His Name by His Word
