Since 1973, ARM has
donated over 1,480 baptistries
to prisons!
In addition, hundreds
have been shipped to military bases and mission fields!
Baptistry Funding
In addition to almost 1,500 prison baptistries donated in the USA, ARM
has hundreds of baptistries now being used on mission fields and military
bases. It has been estimated that some 65,000 souls are "born again of the
water and the spirit" in ARM baptistries each
year.
Here is a baptism in the Philippines; our baptistries are helping
the growing Church all around the globe:
At $795 per unit for portable baptistries and $975 for
Communion Table baptistries, we invest tens of thousands of dollars each year in
building and donating these units -- to prisons, military bases, and mission
fields.
We recently sent TEN baptistries to Thailand and Myanmar.
Other missions outposts will be asking for baptistries soon. Plus,
chaplains will be ordering more for jails month to
month.
If you,
your Sunday School class, or your church could sponsor even one of these, that
would be terrific. If you can only make a gift toward this baptistry fund,
that would be greatly appreciated, as well. Thanks for your prayers and
support.
Gifts for Baptistries may be
sent to:
