Become
a Ministry Partner with 3 For 1 and "Save Our Schools"
As many of you know 3
For 1 has
been invited by many school systems over the past six years to lead
public and private school assemblies. This incredible opportunity led
3 For 1 to form the S.O.S (Save Our Schools)Tour.
-
To
date the S.O.S.
Tour has reached out to hundreds of thousands of students across
America.
-
Hundreds
have attended concerts scheduled around the times of the school
appearances and have received Christ as their Savior.
-
This ministry
has been a source of inspiration for literally thousands of
students nationwide.
-
Next
year even more schools have already requested that 3 For 1
come and sing.
"At a high
school in Georgia
in 2004 a young girl near the front of the stage stood and began to
raise her hands and praise God as 3 for 1 sang a popular praise and
worship song, "Shout To The Lord." The principal made his
way down to the front and stood beside her. He placed his hand on her
shoulder and made her sit down. Behind her sat a whole row of football
players. Those guys saw what happened and looked at each other as the
principal walked back to his seat. They all stood in support of their
classmate and the young girl stood back up too. Row after row
stood until almost the whole student body was standing, half of them
raising their hands and their voices singing "Shout To The
Lord" in a public school! Many of the students
attended a county wide youth rally that evening sponsored by local
churches. Hundreds of decisions were made for Christ."
The
good news is 3 For 1's S.O.S. ministry is growing, however....
- Cost of
traveling is higher (fuel, meals, hotels).
- Upkeep
and need for better sound equipment for larger venues.
- Continued
cost of recording cds and duplicating them. (6 CDs are given away at
each school concert)
- We
have never charged a school to come sing, we have always had a
church or small group of people help us with our expenses.
"Once in another
high school in Georgia 3 for 1 led an afternoon assembly in the school
gym to invite students to an evening concert sponsored by a local
church. After singing and presenting a positive impact program the
students asked one of their classmates
to walk out of the stands down to the middle of the gymnasium to lead
them in prayer. The local school board and the superintendent of
schools in that area was attending the assembly and the superintendent
started shaking his head "no" meaning that the young man
could not pray. As the superintendent began to stand to stop the
prayer, several
members of the school board stopped him and the boy was able to lead
the school in a prayer! At the evening concert 52 teenagers were
saved!"
3 For
1 continues to offer this type of program for free to
the schools
that invite the group to lead an assembly. An evening concert or youth
rally is often planned in the immediate area so students can attend
and be given an opportunity to respond to an invitation, but to
continue this ministry 3 for 1 needs partners who will regularly
support this part of their ministry. If you believe in what 3 For 1's S.O.S
(Save Our Schools) ministry is doing Holly, Jim and Stephen would
greatly appreciate your help by becoming a Ministry Partner.
"An elementary
school in North Carolina invited 3 For 1 to come and present a
program to the students. During the last song of the concert a little
boy had a seizure. His teacher was very concerned because he had
never had this type of reaction before. After 3 For 1 ended the song
and thanked the students for their attention, the teacher asked if
they would come into a room with her and the boy and pray for
him."

How much will it cost to become a Ministry Partner?
A
minimum gift of $10 per month is requested.
When you sign up you can check several boxes for monthly donations of
$10, $25, $50 or $100.
You
may also make a one time donation in any amount that God has laid
on your heart. You can have your donation placed
on your credit/debit card each month as long as you desire,
or you may send a check each month.
"Once, right before 3
For 1 performed at the high school in Illinois
a small group of students asked the trio if they could pray for them
before they presented their program to the student body."
What will I receive for supporting your ministry?
- You'll be added to 3 For 1's
email list to receive weekly updates on where they are and what they
are doing.
- You'll be mailed an autographed
picture of 3 For 1.
- We will print an annual
newsletter that you will receive that focuses on our "Save Our
Schools" ministry.

also receive 3 For 1's latest CD for a donation of at least $25
a month. For donations of $100 a month you will receive 3 For 1's
last 3 releases free of charge.
- You
will know you
are helping a ministry that is reaching students across this
country. The goal is to reach kids who may never have the
opportunity to hear the gospel any where else. Can you imagine the
impact?
"In another Georgia
school
after 3 For 1 sang to a group of elementary school children, they were
asked to encore "Shout To Lord." During the repeat
performance many students and teachers honored God in praise and
worship."
Will my gifts be tax deductible?
Yes...
if you request. 3
for 1 is a corporation so your gifts are not tax deductible if made
directly to the group. For tax credit on your donation you must write
your checks to United Fellowship Baptist Church in Oak Park,
Georgia. This church
hosts an annual tour to the public schools in their area called the
"Light Your World Tour." They
will enter your donations into a special fund set up at the
church and then it will be forwarded to 3 For 1.
"3
For 1's first stop on the Light Your World 2005 school tour was truly
special. During the school assembly at Robert Toombs Christian
Academy in Lyons, GA, 15 students stood to their feet in front of all
their peers and acknowledged that they accepted Jesus as their Savior!
Decision opportunities can't be given in the public schools because of
the laws in America, but the Christian schools often allow 3 For 1 to
host a chapel service, much like a regular church service instead
of an assembly."
Can I just give to the ministry without making
monthly donations?
Yes...
you can simply mail your donation to 3 For 1 Ministries, 104 Bright
Ave., Bessemer City, NC 28016 or call 704/868-4807 to run your
donation on your Credit/Debit card. Just tell the
receptionist that you want to donate to 3 For 1's Ministry
and you'll be directed to a 3 For 1 representative.
As much as 3 For 1 would appreciate your financial
support of their ministry, more than anything they would love for you
and your family to remember them in your prayers as they take the
Gospel into places where people need it most!
