Testimonials
"By the way, the mailings were VERY successful. We have
seen hundreds of visiting families in the last six months and have
added over 100 in average attendance!"
Pastor Wayne Murray
"Our new church plant is now up to 120
members in just 3 months! The key element was mailing out two
oversize postcards (from the Masterpiece
Campaign) to the community."
"One new member, who had never gone to church before, said "When
I got the card in the mail, it was like God was talking to me through
it."
Pastor David Ford
Here are just a few more...
"I was simply put amazed by
the results. One of our pastors started crying as he saw the people
streaming into the high school auditorium on our opening day.... when
390 showed up, we were shocked. Five weeks later we are still averaging
over 200 people in our worship service."
Pastor Hal Haller
“Excellent response from the unchurched
and our people were really proud of what we were doing. We normally
worship about 430 and might expect about 630 on Easter and we had
800 plus. We plan on taking the same approach next Easter (and) I
will be going to work soon on our next mailer (for Summer).”
Robin Butler, FBC Crosby
“Just wanted to let you know that
things went really well in worship today. We had about six new guest
households. The billboard was a great teaser. Our son’s' friends
were asking them, "What's that mean?" (about the phrase,
"the end of life as we know it"). We're known as the church
with great postcards, but there was certainly a lot of anticipation
around this issue. At any rate, the response rate is higher than ever.
Thanks for everything!”
JP Bohannon, Pastor Crosswalk Community Church
“Let me give a report of our latest breakthrough
mailing and the follow-up at Fellowship. As you know we sent out 10,000
postcards for Christmas Eve. Though the attendance (at that service)
was a little low (snow!!); the cards also encouraged people to come
to a sermon series starting the first of the year. Those who came
as visitors on the second and third weekends were given a free dinner
for their entire family at a local barbecue restaurant. We had 193
visitors the first two weekends of 2005. 153 came to the dinner and
last weekend, 28 people joined the church. We continue to have many
visitors.”
Pastor Grant Edwards
"I would love to write a testimonial but
I am too busy visiting people who have come to our church as a result
of your mailing! We hit 210 people our first Sunday"
Pastor Fred Winslow
"We retained 250 new members from our campaign
and recouped our investment in just five weeks of new giving!"
Pastor Phil Spry
"Results? -- AMAZING! We had about 26 new
families!" (and new families still coming)
Brian Rudesill
"We mailed to 15,000 homes (this past
Christmas). The result was a 30% increase from 1,000 to 1,352 this
year. We expanded our service schedule from 2 services to 4 services!"
I have already recommended your company to four pastor friends."
Dr. Herb Buwalda, Senior Pastor
"...180 first-time visitors the first
Sunday!"
Pastor Dave Freshour
"...330 visitors to our Celebration Sunday."
Pastor Keith Boyette
"275 visitors at our opening service".
Pastor David Ford
"The majority of our people have come to
us as a direct result our mailings alone, we're now running close
to 300."
Pastor John Zuck
"Our number of visitors has never been
higher."
Pastor David Freshour
"The campaign was a tremendous success, as seen by our record
attendance. Thanks for creating some of the best evangelistic tools
I've ever seen."
Dr. W. A. Criswell, First Baptist Church, Dallas
"Over the last two years we've added 350
new members and our investment in outreach media has been returned
sevenfold per year!"
Pastor David Norman, Centerville UMC
"Your programs significantly increased
our people's evangelistic potential by making it easier for them to
invite friends and neighbors...they're proud of the campaign."
Pastor David Freshour
"I'm convinced these campaigns are the
finest outreach tools available to churches today. Their artistry
and messages defy comparison ...there's nothing in the same category."
Pastor Jeff Adams
"I just wanted to thank you for the
great cards you designed for our summer outreach. They were
warm and inviting and so much so that we actually had another church
call us to know who did those cards we had mailed! I was more than
happy to give them your contact information. The most important aspect
of the project was that there many new families that were in attendance
because of the mailing you designed. Many of whom were attending no
church at all before this event. I just wanted to thank you for a
job well done in helping us reach out to our community, and I will
definitely be using your company again in the future."
Pastor Rich Fogal
Christian Life Church
Lansdale, PA
"I'm not quite sure how you could improve
on your service. You guys seem to bend over backwards to get things
done."
Pastor Jim Botts
Great Reports on Masterpiece...
We are getting some incredible reports from churches using Masterpiece.
One church, in a metro area, after a modest run of the campaign targeted
to a special Sunday, had 122 first-time families attend.
Another recent church planting in a semi-rural area did a Phone Campaign (13,000 dial up) followed by the standard 5-piece direct mail series using Masterpiece. The formula would have normally yielded 130 families at best...but, they had 330 new families! The pastor attributed this to prayer and the quality of the campaign. Also, we attribute it to the good research we did into the felt needs of the unchurched and 'overchurched'...we listened closely. As a result, the campaign connects with their real needs and questions about becoming a part of a church.
