Frequently Asked Questions

1. How will the Beams Ministry help my church?

The primary purpose of the local church is to reach the world with the gospel. As a pastor, it is hard to find ministries that encourage your people in a world wide outreach, without taxing your local efforts.

The supplying of Bibles for those in need on foreign mission fields, gives the average churchgoer a sense of purpose and satisfaction. As they learn to give to the cause of Christ abroad, they begin to see local needs in a new light. Historically, efforts like this often result in improved morale and increased local outreach.

Beams give every member of the church an easy way to get involved. God blesses a church as it gives toward the spreading of the Word of God. More info...

The illustrated chalk sermon produces a lasting impact on the listeners, as people will retain more of what they see than what they hear.

WHEN A CHURCH HAS BROTHER RAY FOR A MEETING the pastor likes the results and usually invites him back again. More info...
