You Open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing. Psalm 145:16 Communicate with photos of church activities Communicate with facts and numbers Communicate with bullets

God provides every blessings in abundance. So that by always having enough of everything you may share abundantly in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 Use interesting and unique display of numbers and text

My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you. Proverbs 3:1-2 Collect information from many resources: books, websites, other churches

A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Proverbs 11:2 Challenge your reader

... Be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God. Romans 12:2 Challenge readers Make it interactive
