"Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey
everything I have
commanded you. And surely
I am with you always, to the
very end of the age."
(Matt. 28:19-20 NIV)

| Disciples International, a faith-based, non-profit corporation located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, has launched a project to provide 1.5 million wallet-sized laminated Apostles’ Creed cards for free distribution to men and women on active duty in all branches of the United States armed services and those recovering at U.S. military hospitals. Distribution will be made through U.S. military chaplains. "This mammoth project was sparked by a desire to provide our service men and women with a summary statement of belief that is universally honored by Christians, regardless of denomination," said David Komarnicki, president of Disciples International."We wanted to give them something that they could carry with them in the line of duty and that was impervious to weather and other conditions, and so we chose this small laminated format." Komarnicki noted that bumper stickers throughout the land encourage Americans to pray for and support the troops. "We at Disciples International believe that our Apostles’ Creed project provides prayerful and tangible support at the deepest level of need, which is spiritual reinforcement," he said. "These pocket-sized cards with their huge message will provide daily inspiration to those in harm’s way, whose commitment makes possible the freedoms we all enjoy." Apostles’ Creed cards are currently printed in 55 languages and may be viewed on the Disciples International website at www.disciplesinternational. org. Samples can be mailed upon request. Disciples International is currently seeking financial support for its Apostles’ Creed outreach to the military. "This is an opportunity for all interested individuals, civic groups, veterans’ organizations, churches, and mission-minded agencies to step forward and show their support for the spiritual well-being of our troops," said Komarnicki. "We are ready to move forward with the 1.5 million cards as financial support comes in," he continued. "Our distribution system is in place, and volunteers are ready to produce the cards immediately. All that is lacking is adequate funding." Disciples International is seeking broad-based sponsorship in the amount of $200,000 to meet production and distribution costs for the 1.5-million- card project. Donations are tax-deductible and will be deposited to the Disciples International account at National Heritage Foundation, 6201 Leesburg Pike, Suite 405, Falls Church, Va. 22044. Donations can be sent directly to National Heritage Foundation (attention Disciples International) or can be made online at www.disciplesinternational.org by clicking the donation link.
