Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | Jesus is the Answer Project Hey Guys,
I've discovered a fun way to spread the name of Jesus and spend money at the same time...I went to the local office supply store and purchased a little ink stamper that allows you to place little rubber letters on it so you can spell out any message you'd like. Next, I went to the bank and got 100 single dollar bills and began stamping each one with the message "JESUS IS THE ANSWER" and "DISCOVER JESUS CHRIST" on the top edge of the bill. Then you just spend the money on stuff like groceries or exchange it with friends so they can help too. You can also just use a pen to begin writing whatever message you want on your money, such as Bible verses about salvation, ect. In addition to this, we can also use some of the junk mail we get. You know how some of them have a return envelope in them that doesn't need postage? Put a salvation tract in it and send it back! When you pay your bills you can also send tracts in those envelopes or write the above messages on the outside of them.
At this point I'm sure some are thinking this is illegal but I checked into that...It's not! Federal law states that as long as you do not render the bill useless or deface it beyond recognition that there is nothing wrong with writing on currency...Banks write on money all the time when they are counting it.
One of the neatest things about this idea is that a bill will pass through hundreds and even thousands of hands all over the U.S. in its lifetime and the name of JESUS will get seen by millions if we all help out. Even an atheist might get a dollar and unless they destroy their own money, they'll pass it along to the next guy who will see the name of Jesus. The focus of this project is to simply plant seeds. It only takes a tiny spark to start a roaring fire. The Bible says some plant, others water, and the Lord brings growth. The more people see his name the more they will grow hungry and curious about our Lord. Lets flood this country with the Holy name of Jesus.
I encourage you to help with this project and lets really get something going here. Grab a pen or a stamper, your wallet and write "JESUS IS THE ANSWER" or "DISCOVER JESUS CHRIST" on the front of your money!!
Tell a friend about us too! Email this message to your friends. Take care and God Bless.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | I dont ever look that closely at my money to take the time to "read it". I understand the concept though, but if "jesus is the answer" is written on my 5 dollar bill, I would never know it since I dont pay attention to that. some people do though, so you may be onto something here.
Peace |

I lived over there when there was still an East Germany. I used to love going into East Berlin and buying tons of stuff for like 10 cents.
