From Penny Horseman:
Some years ago a US Games manufacturer produced a children’s card game called the Jesus Deck. Later some Christians, mainly in the UK, realised the potential for using these cards to start conversations with spiritual seekers about Jesus. The cards were available on the internet and many people began to use them.
Penny Horseman, working for the Church of England in Essex was one of these, but as the years went on she noted that prices for the cards were rising. She suspected that the world wide stocks of the cards were diminishing. This has proved to be true and prices are now out of reach. Penny has trained a number of people in the use of the cards for Christian outreach and would like to train others. But without a supply of cards this is not possible. WHAT TO DO?
Penny has been in negotiation with the firm that produced the cards and with the printers and has got agreement for a new print run of the Jesus Deck.. This will cost somewhere in the region of £10,000. Some money has already been promised. Penny would like to contact people who want to be involved in this project.
Money can be gifted or can be in form of “soft loans” or can be set against multiple copies of the Deck when it is printed.
Please pray for this under taking. We have wonderful stories of people encountering the Living Christ through Christians who use the Jesus Deck. For more information contact Sister Canon Penny Horseman CA phorseman@chelmsford.anglican.org 01206273615
