Freebies Mean No Cost for You
Everybody seems to like freebies … especially when they truly are free with no strings attached. For something to truly be free means that it comes without a cost to you … a gift.
I see many searches in the web site statistics for free resources. And, so many people have made requests through the contact form for free material that after much prayer a decision was made that those kinds of requests would no longer receive a response. Despite that policy being stated on the contact form, requests for free material (and free money) still come in regularly.
In the event you have not come across the freebies offered by Ministry Tools Resource Center, here is what you will find:

Freebies Cost Somebody Something
Let’s remember that even the greatest free gift ever … eternal life in Christ Jesus (Jn. 1:12-13; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9) … was not free. It cost Jesus His life!
For Ministry Tools Resource Center, providing freebies could mean the loss of a sale which translates into less money for the ministry. It costs time initially to put all this material together to provide it freely to the Body of Christ as well as money to keep it up. An online ministry incurs costs which is why everything we offer can’t be free, as much as I truly would love to make everything a freebie.
