We've been petitioned by the Campus Crusade for Christ International to participate in the purchase and distribution of Rapid Deployment Kits. These Kits are evangelistic gifts developed and distributed by the Military Ministry of CCfC, each is filled with a pocket-sized, camouflage-covered Bible, 90 day devotional, and an evangelistic booklet. The cost for the RDKs is a little over $3.00 a piece.
Severn River Church has decided to adopt this as a missions outreach, and is sponsoring over 200 of these books to be given to troops deployed to Iraq. As a church with multiple enlisted soldiers and sailors, employees of the DOD, and a Chaplain-to-be waiting for orders to Chaplain's school. We felt that this project was part of who we were. On Sunday we took the first of two special offerings for the RDK project. SRCers gave $235.00 to the project in the first week. And additional $25.00 was received from someone outside of SRC who heard about the project.
I want to encourage every SRCer to pray, and ask God what, if anything, He would like them to give to this project above their tithe. At SRC we value missions. The chance of pursuing our mission around the world is a part of who we are. I think this is a great step in missions for us.

who would we make checks out to, if we wanted to give toward this? SRC?
Anyone who would like to participate may write checks to SRC. Label the check memo: RDK and the amount you want to be designated for this project. 100% of designated monies will be given to this project.
