Scripture Prints for Widows – “A picture is worth a thousand words…of encouragement!”

So Far: 88 prints given away!

Story

In early 2008, Joshua decided to get intentional about spending his money on the kingdom of God. He asked God to show him a where he could invest money serving widows that would have a kingdom impact. Immediately, Joshua remembered all of the pictures that he had taken on his travels overseas and “Scripture Prints for Widows” was born.

Now Watermelon Ministries is providing scripture prints to widows in nursing homes. James 1:27 says that pure religion before God is “to visit widows and orphans in their distress, and keep oneself unspotted from the world”. Watermelon wants to provide you the opportunity to visit a widow and give them a beautiful picture with an encouraging scripture verse. All of the pictures were taken by Joshua on one of his oversea trips.

The need

Each print costs roughly $10 to create. Your donation of $10 will put a scripture print like the ones seen on this site into the hands of a widow/widower in a nursing home. It’s that simple.

If you would like to purchase a print, your donation of $20 will provide a scripture print for you and also put one in a nursing home.

We need volunteers to come and help us deliver the prints!

How it works

The scripture prints must be ordered in large quantities in order to get discount pricing. Once enough people have donated toward a run ( 24 prints), we order the prints from our supplier and have them on hand.

Most nursing homes have an activities director who would love to have you come and give away pictures. We simply call the activities director and set up a good time for delivery, then anyone who wants to come along and deliver the prints is able.
