Dear Friend,

I have created an inspiring mug for you to use every day when you enjoy your coffee, tea...or any beverage.

On the front surface of this ceramic mug are three short sentences that I have written -

...words that very simply, yet POWERFULLY, summarize our lives lived for Christ:

• ACCEPT your past.

• HONOR your present.

• BELIEVE in your future.

And on the back of this mug is a scripture verse written by Saint Paul in his letter to his friends living in Philippi:

"Forgetting what is behind

and straining for what is ahead,

I press on toward the goal

to win the prize for which God

has called me heavenward in

Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14

This ceramic mug features a very popular flower design for you that will add wonderful color and springtime hope and joy to your day.

This mug will remind you every single day that Christ himself:

• ACCEPTS YOU as you are - and, with His help, you can accept your past, too.

• HONORS the person YOU are - He himself created you, just as you are, with very special gifts and skills.

• BELIEVES in YOUR future - with God as your guide, you WILL make the decisions that will make your future bright!

Yes, these are the timeless truths my father and I have been communicating to you, your family, and millions of other people every week on the televised Hour of Power for nearly 40 years.

We deliver a positive message of acceptance, hope, and promise.

And this power-filled positive message has become what we are today:

America's Television Church to the people of the world!

• Every single week, nearly 1½ million persons on the North American Continent pick up their television remote controls to tune in to the Hour of Power.

• Every single week, over 19 million more people, in all parts of the world, also turn on our positive televised program.

• Millions more access our positive message via the Internet (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year). This is a "delivery system" that is carrying our classic and timeless message to a new generation.

This ministry is a spiritual POWERHOUSE, delivering our life-generating and redeeming message to the spiritually hungry - and often STARVING - people of America, Canada, and the world.

And we've been able to build this powerbase only because -

• We ACCEPTED God's call...

• Good people like you HONORED our call and supported us with your financial giving...and

• Together, we BELIEVE it is powerfully important that we continue this positive legacy into the future.

Will you help me today - by providing a generous financial gift that we will use to continue our delivery of God's positive message?

...and also be certain to ask for your ceramic mug.

The ministry of Christ since his birth, his death, and his glorious resurrection has continued for over two centuries only because people like YOU and me...

...feel his call, hear his voice, and say, "Yes Lord, use me!"

Thank you for the support you can provide today.

Most sincerely and in His service,

Robert Anthony Schuller
