The majority of people who read What Did Jesus Do? receive them directly via email. Recently, we've contacted our "e-clock" inviting them to officially become subscribers. Not that we have lots of blog followers, but we would also like to invite those of you who are, to also become subscribers and receive the WDJDs directly in your inbox. Below is the text of our "Subscription" invitation.
We've emailed something over 400 What Did Jesus Do? devotions over the last two and a half years. Some of you have been receiving them pretty much from the beginning of our ministry, while others have only recently been added to the address book. Certainly, long-time or recent recipient, we hope you find the WDJDs more helpful than not, and take time to read them, well, more often than not.
Up to now we have not required any kind of subscription to receive WDJDs. Unfortunately, times being what they are, we are facing some real financial challenges. Therefore, commencing March 1st of this year, we are going to ask everyone to become a subscriber (Don't worry, you'll be amazed at how cheaply you can keep getting the WDJDs. Essentially, there are four subscription options, two of which don't cost a cent:
1. Simply acknowledge via return email that you would like to continue to receive
WDJD emails, and we'll keep sending them to you (If we don't hear from you by
March 1, however, we will take that as an indication of disinterest, and remove
you from the mailing list).
2. Indicate via return email that you would like to continue to receive WDJD
emails, and help grow this ministry by sending us the names and email addresses
of family and friends who you want to receive, well, a "gift" subscription.
(This still won't cost you a penny, but you will be helping us as you help
us to grow the audience for this ministry).
3. Become a paying subscriber for the super low price of $2 a month ($24.00
annually). What a bargain! Your subscription may be conveniently paid through
our website using PayPal.
4. Become a paying subscriber, and sustainer of this ministry as well, at the
level of $40 or more, and we will send you as a thank you a copy of I Just
Wanna Ride (One man's ride to real faith...), by Dr. Bob Kopp, a biker and
Presbyterian pastor, who challenges both those who mount chrome ponies and
those who sit in pews, or stand in a pulpit, to live authentically after the
example of Jesus.
Now, I have to be frank here, if everyone takes option 1 or 2, we may have to shut down the ministry because we simply won't have the money to keep even our shoestring operation going. Nonetheless, we trust that, ultimately, it is the Lord who provides for you, and for us, and for all.
We hope 2012 has begun well for you, and pray God will bless and highly favor you, and position you to prosper.
Christ IS All!
