The Second Million Dollar Sunday - September 30, 2001
With the success of the first Million Dollar Sunday, EEM was unsure how to proceed.
It was obvious God had a hand in the success of the first Million Dollar Sunday.
Did God want this to be a one time project or did he intend us to do this again?
Would the brotherhood support another effort? After much prayer it was decided that
we should leap out on faith once again and try another Million Dollar Sunday.
Since the middle of 1990, EEM had been making efforts to partner with other organizations
and groups to help make sure we are as cost efficient as possible with donated funds.
This led us to our second Million Dollar Sunday. We had begun working with Russian
Bible School (RBS) trying to provide Bibles and other materials they needed to fulfill
requests they had from Russians for these materials. It soon became obvious that
there were many more requests than we had money to fulfill. We worked out a project
with them to secure money for 33,000 Bible “Bundles”. These bundles would be provided
to all of those who had requested Bibles. RBS would also start doing follow up seminars
in the areas where these were sent to make sure everyone was touched with the Word
and a personal contact.
Once again, God did more than we can imagine. Our brotherhood donated $1,232,000!
With the money we were able to provide approximately 41,000 Bible Bundles, far exceeding
our original goals. Once again God blessed us and while we were printing the new
materials we did some creative “overruns”. These “overruns” allowed us to provide
Bibles for a second school region in Russia, the Tomsk region. This region has 1300
schools and over 225,000 students. One of the librarians commented to an EEM representative
“schools and libraries have not been able to keep the books on the shelf! As soon
as they are returned they are given to the next person on the waiting list!”
Like all of the projects we have done, God seems to have bigger plans than we
can envision.
