Happy Resurrection Day! This issue of The Trumpeter magazine is packed with listings of information about all the exciting Holiday events in South Florida. Be sure to check out our community calendar for the many exciting activities, conferences and concerts. I'm sure you will want to take advantage of these blessings.
Newly formed Boards
We thank God for our new board members. We have been extremely blessed by their willingness to share valuable time, wisdom and support. As we continue to make the necessary changes needed to manage the work load that God has set before us, we ask for your prayers. Many new suggestions and ideas have been brought forth we are in the process of implementing some of them. Here are just of few:
1) Fund Raisers for the Youth: We have recently put together a package for youth ministries to help with their fundraising. Here is how it works! Youth can sell Trumpeter subscriptions for $20 and receive $4 per subscription sold. Youth ministers and children can receive prizes provided they place in the TOP 5 of the most subscriptions sold category. It's a win win situation. Youth can make the money necessary for their missions trips. Youth pastors can receive prizes and The Trumpeter can continue to spread the Good News for South Florida.
2) Corporate or Private Sponsors: Businesses or individuals can sponsor ads for their business or their favorite ministries. Businesses can receive support and ministries can receive the necessary coverage about their needs, events, testimonies and services they provide.
3) Concert Series: The Trumpeter will begin their own concert series to help unite our local churches with the South Florida community.
4) Seminars and Conferences: The Trumpeter will begin to sponsor seminars throughout South Florida on topics of interest such as writers conferences, fundraising, women's events, prayer and much more.
These are just a few of the new ideas The Trumpeter will be implementing. We believe 1997 is going to be a great year for The Trumpeter and the people of South Florida. If you or your organization is interested in getting involved in The Trumpeter's vision, send us a fax at (305)670-7771. We would love to hear from you!
Many of our recognized community leaders have come together volunteering their time to become members of our recently formed editorial, corporate, and corporate advisory boards. With these new changes, we believe we will be better equipped to handle the growing needs of the South Florida Christian market.
