Altoids Tins … Ministry?!

3 06 2007

So, I’m collecting Altoids tins & any tins of similar sizes or other cases or containers that will hold “business” cards.

I’ve been wanting to being memorizing Scripture verses, & thought that it would be most helpful if I could bring the verses wherever I go.

I had some old paper from when I attempted to make business cards on my computer, used a template in MS Word & typed up over 80 cards with verses on them that were meaningful to me, might help me in prayer, or give me comfort — which I’d like to commit to memory. I printed the cards, trimmed them slightly, & today I found a punch for cutting rounded corners so they would fit more easily into… you guessed it! An Altoids tin!! (Needless to say, I can’t fit more than approximately 75 cards in one Altoids tin compared to the many more I printed/want to print…)

Anyway… My idea is to make as many of these as I can with the most important verses in them. I’d like to make them for friends & family who are fellow believers, but also make them & keep some in my car or purse to give to non-believers as well to introduce them to some of Scripture & maybe ‘plant the seed.’

So SAVE THOSE ALTOIDS TINS, I would love to put them to a most wonderful use!

(& if you happen to have any for me now or later, let me know!) :)

EDIT: I’ve now received over 50 tins! Great!
