This is what 2,000 Armor of God Challenge Coins looks like as they arrive from the factory in five very heavy boxes. Once they are sorted and inventoried, they need to be "packaged" up for shipment and made ready to be shipped across North America, and now Europe, Africa and now the Far East. If you have an Armor of God Coin, it is very likely that Samantha packaged it in its clear plastic envelope with an index card and blank "business card" for you to fill and give to another person. Packaging is done by hand and takes many hours. Thank you Samantha for all your organization and dedication to this ministry! Good job!
This afternoon I was in Austin Texas. I learned that my Friend Greg, coin 4172 from Upstate NY, was in Austin Texas also. Greg was visiting his Brother and I was on business. I had a small "window of time" before my flight and when Greg informed that he was close to downtown Austin, we agreed to meet. We had a tremendous meeting! It felt like I've known Greg for years. I also got to meet Greg's brother, and sister in law who received their Armor of God coins last night. Good job Brother!
Debbie and Greg, it is so amazing to see how God "moves" and inspires and softens hearts.
This past July, in Canada, I gave my sister some Armor of God Challenge coins to give to friends and family. She gave some coins to her daughter, my Niece, who distributed some coins at a youth camp. One or the young ladies received a coin at the camp fire who took it home and showed her mom. The mom, Melissa contacted me and I sent her coins for a ladies retreat in Canada, Hearts of Beauty. Melissa’s husband (Dad) requested additional coins for a Men’s retreat, Band of Brothers that he facilitates in upstate NY.
Your Brother Greg went to that retreat and he received a coin and contacted me for more. He received a box of coins and gave you one. You then requested coins for your friends and family.
I know that you and Greg have been passing out coins in upstate NY to many of your family and friend. In looking at the distribution map, I see so many “red dots” of registered coins in your region and southern Ontario.
Our God is amazing and the Holy Spirit has the power to convict, motivate and encourage. This one example shows how a small coin can be given to a young person who takes it home and shows her mom and dad and the result is a lot of people taking the Challenge and being encouraged! Amazing!
This is a photo of the coin in the display case of the young lady in Canada who relieved a coin at a youth retreat, showed it to her mom that started a movement in upstate NY. The Gospel is viral
Thank you for your service for the Glory of God! Our entire family has been blessed by these coins, and now our community. I praise God for using you in this way Don And Samantha! May you also be blessed today as you work for His Kingdom!
