Encouraging Cards

These are some handmade cards that I am doing for a street ministry in our city. We bring sack lunches to several ladies and inside the bag we like to add an encouraging card. Right now we hand out about 36 lunches a week. These ladies really appreciate the meal and a card made especially for them. There is also an encourage message inside each card.

Welcome to the Church Cards

Most of these cards can be used for any occasion, but I am using them for encouraging newly baptised folks at my church. They all have Bible verses on the front and/or inside with room to write a personal message if you wish. I typed the verses on my PC, but you could write them. I didn't because my hand writing is terrible. I hope you will think about doing this too. It only takes a few minutes to send a card. It will be very much appreciated by the one who receives it. It means a lot when someone takes the time to think of others.

Paul gives us instructions on how to live a life pleasing to God and that we should encourage new Christians. "And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:15-22
