Christmas Charity Crowdfunder!
Instead of a Black Friday campaign, yesterday, we launched our exciting Christmas Crowdfunder Charity Appeal to raise the money to gift thousands of copies of our Spanish Word for Word Bible Comic editions into prisons across the USA!
It’s been running 24 hours and it’s already at about 25%!
The campaign is like Kickstarter with an all-or-nothing goal of £7,000. We'd love you to get on board and help us hit this goal. You can get a certificate to gift at Christmas and a discount for our web store when you support it.
There isn’t anyone browsing in this Crowdfunding platform, however, so this newsletter is our main push. So if you’re considering it, please don’t put it off and forget, but go ahead and pledge today.
I know it's not long since our last campaign, but the time is now, as we’d love to get them in for Christmas! (See more about why on the campaign page)
Also, please share the link to the appeal on your social media!
Here are some quotes from inmates and chaplains who have received the comics in the past…
Bible Comic + Audiobible Nativity
We are currently finishing creating a nativity series of short 60-90 sec videos/shorts/reels/TikToks to post every day of Advent. Below is a link to an “unlisted” instalment as a sneak peek for you subscribers. Take a look and let me know your thoughts!
On TikTok, this will mean the launch of a new channel for us, and I’d really love your support! When the time comes on Dec 1st, please go to the channel and start liking and sharing the videos. We believe they have great potential to go viral, especially during the Christmas period, but we’d love you to help give it a bump and get it in front of all your friends.
Great Commission, Great Reviews
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed the game on BGG and on your regional Amazon. There's still room for plenty more! Currently, our BGG score has fallen from 8.6 to 8.4, mainly due to someone putting a 2/10 on there because “he’s not interested in playing it”. If you haven’t added your score yet, please add it today, it really helps support the game.
It has now also been reviewed by several professional reviewers. Here’s Unfiltered Gamer:
Great Commission Game Mats
What many of you have been eagerly waiting for. The Great Commission Player Mat in now available to buy! In our online store, you can now order the luxury neoprene mats to augment your gaming experience. If you wish to purchase x4 player mats, we’ve set up the Discount Code 4MATDEAL to save 30% on the additional 3 mats when you buy the first. So instead 4 of £140, it’s £108.50.
Is it the same as the Kickstarter ones?
These new ones are like the Kickstarter ones and the same size, but made “print on demand”. They are about 10% paler than the KS special editions, and we’ve done the logo a little differently so you can tell them apart with ease. But they are similar enough to play side-by-side at the table, without a massive difference.
Christmas Gifts and Cards
We have 2 Christmas books that are designed to be a great gift or stocking stuffer! Don’t forget they are all available in bundles so you can get more at a cut price! We have just 10 sets left of our Christmas Cards, and these are now available if you are in the UK.
Prayer Requests
The Charity Crowdfunding!: Even if you can’t financially support this right now, we’d love your prayer support! Not only about funding, but also getting the books there, and quickly and efficiently distributed to inmates in time for Christmas!
Audiobible Videos: Please join me in praying that when the videos launch, they are really successful and have a great reach and impact. Getting in front of people with no connection to the Bible or the church.
Partnerships: Please continue to pray for us as we have talks with bigger players as we look at potential partnerships.
