Merry Christmas and Blessing of the Season!!!

I hope that this e-mail finds you well and enjoying all the wonderful things about this time of the year.  Patrick, the girls and I are excited to be celebrating our 2nd Christmas in Nicaragua and are reflecting on all that has happened the past year that we have been here!!  God is good and faithful and He has done some amazing things through SI and the people that work with us!  Thank you God and ALL THE GLORY TO YOU!!

We are writing today to ask for your help.  Samaritans is in need of some new supporters!  We have been hesitant to ask for financial help because we are sensitive to the fact that the economy has hit EVERYONE pretty hard the last year or so.  So today I am not writing simply to ask you to donate money, I am writing to ask you to consider purchasing a "SAMARITAN SAVER" fundraising card.  Below are some details about the Samaritan Card but I can tell you it is a similar concept to the "Entertainment Books" the schools and such sell each year, ONLY BETTER!!

Take a look at these two videos for more explanation, http://goo.gl/th0y8  &  http://goo.gl/qrA4V and read the following information.  If this doesnt answer all your questions please let me know!!  The card sells for $20.00 with aMONEY BACK GUARANTEE of getting at least  that much back within the year.  I know many of you are buying christmas gifts this time of year, these coupons can help you save $$$ off your purchases online and in stores, including GROCERY COUPONS!!.  These coupons are also great for saving $$$ eating out this time of year and all year through!!!  Some of my favorite coupons include Longhorn Steakhouse, Best Buy, Build A Bear, The Childrens Place, Walgreens, AMC Theaters, Chuck E Cheese.....I could go on and on!!  Even better then the Entertainment Books,these are not area specific.  They are good for the entire US and even have a place to put in your zip code to get special offers at local merchants......ahhh, I get so excited about this card I ramble on!!

I would ask you to seriously consider purchasing this card in support of Samaritans International.  Most of us will easily spend $20.00 in a day on things that have no lasting use......with this card you are guaranteed to get your money back and more importantly you are supporting a worthy cause that will MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR A LIFETIME!!  These would make GREAT stocking stuffers, Secret Santa Gifts, appreciation gifts to friends, neighbors, mail man, UPS delivery, teachers.....you get the point!!  If each of you purchased just one card, we would meet our goal of 500 cards in no time!!  Or how about this, would you consider holding a "mini fundraiser" at your church, school, neighborhood etc.?  For every 10 cards you sell you will get 1 free!!!!!  PLEASE PLEASE consider this offer!!

Click http://goo.gl/HvtzC to purchase a card(s) and they will be mailed to you promptly.  If you need to use the card right away I can send a temporary passcode for you to use until your card comes so you can access it immediately!!!   Also, IMPORTANT, please e-mail me the address you would like me to mail your card to and I will get that out ASAP!!

$20.00.....is that too much to ask to invest in the life of a child??!!  THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!!!!!!  Please feel free to forward this on to anyone else you think may be interested in supporting a worthy cause !!!

The Samaritan Card

What exactly is the Samaritan Card?
The Samaritan Card is a wallet-size card which gives access to deals and discounts at more than 100,000 national and regional retailers, hotels, restaurants, and recreation venues. To put it in fast and easy terms before you go shopping check the Samaritan Card website to find out what incredible deals they may offer on the things you will be shopping for.
www.SamaritanSaver.com

Can I see a list of all the merchants?
We literally have more than 100,000 merchants (including 25,000 restaurants), so we cannot provide a complete list. We do, however, provide a list of our most popular merchants.

Does the Samaritan Card have an expiration date?
Yes, the card expires one full year from the date of activation.

What kinds of deals are available as a cardholder?
The deals and discounts are IN-STORE, ONLINE, and are also available through PRINTED and MOBILE coupons. We offer a lot more than deals online, also to restaurants, recreation and entertainment, tickets, and at hundreds of popular retailers.

Are the deals and discounts exclusive, or can I find them elsewhere?
We have EXCLUSIVE relationships with MANY retailers who give our members one-of-a-kind discounts. Other retailers give similar deals or discounts they might give to others. However, we guarantee there's not a better way to find so many great deals all in one place, at one time. It could be considered the fastest way to "shop smart" with the discounts right at your fingertips instead of surfing the web for hours or searching for coupons.

Do some merchants drop off the Samaritan Card, and are new merchants added?
Some of our merchants will sometimes run different sales and specials. When they appear to drop off, this is rarely permanent. You will see them appear again soon with a different promotion. Most of our merchants, however, don't drop off at all. Yes, we are adding new merchants all the time!

What is the money-back guarantee?
We offer a money-back guarantee to every cardholder. If after one year, you do not save a minimum of $20 with your Samaritan Card, we'll refund you $20. To receive the $20 refund, you must return your card to us. Your card must have been activated for a full year. To receive a refund, please click here.

Can I trust Samaritan Fundraising?
Yes! We're owned and operated by the largest Christian communications company in the world, Salem Communications. Salem is the country's leading Christian radio broadcaster with more than 100 radio stations nationwide, as well as the leading Christian Internet provider. We own more than 20 popular websites including crosswalk.com and oneplace.com.
