   Dear Sir/Mdm,   
      
   My name is Glen Bragg of "The Private Page" and I have found a fantastic   
      
   opportunity for your congregation to actively participate in generating the   
      
   revenues required to maintain a positive cash flow for your ministry/church.   
      
   First let me say I have no religious affiliation and am unbiased in   
   selecting   
      
   those I wish to help. (I wish to help everybody). Do you realize you have   
      
   the solution to your financial strife well within your grasp? With the aid   
      
   of a simple,powerful and legal matrix program you could be on the road   
      
   to financial wellness using your #1 as yet untapped resource,that is...   
      
   YOUR PEOPLE !. Your following,Your congregation ! Please read on.   
      
   But before I begin, please allow me 3 simple premises...   
      
   1. Keep an OPEN mind   
      
   2. DO NOT PREJUDGE   
      
   3. TAKE THE MINISTRY CHALLENGE (see bottom for details)   
      
   The purpose of this exercise is for you to start thinking   
      
   in a different way than you've been taught and give you   
      
   food for thought...please read on.   
      
   Think back for a moment in early Biblical times when a man,   
      
   a scruffy looking man, a man of simple means,a carpenter by trade   
      
   was called upon to perform an awesome task. That task was to   
      
   be responsible for the spiritual salvation of the world. Would anyone   
      
   think a man of such low stature in society would become our savior?   
      
   Of course I'm referring to our Lord Jesus Christ.   
      
   Would you agree our Lord was very creative...(thinking outside the box).?   
      
   The reason I pass along that little story is that I'm not sure if we would   
      
   recognize financial salvation if we tripped over it...Much like most would   
      
   pass Jesus on the street and quickly dismiss him, (based on our human   
      
   disposition to prejudge). I think similarly, we would pass by financial   
   salvation   
      
   if it came in a form we have already pre-judged. Be honest..   
      
   Have you ever pre-judged something and found yourself to be totally wrong?   
      
   If an opportunity for financial salvation presented itself, what would it   
   look like?   
      
   Think about it, in what form would it take? Would it be truckloads of cash   
      
   coming through the front door? or would the heavens part and greenbacks come   
   flying   
      
   down to create a mountain on the church property? Well, I never say never   
   but if is not   
      
   God's time then we must deal within the parameters of OUR time.   
      
   Think about it...Jesus always thought "outside the box" (parting the Red   
   Sea,walking on   
      
   water and don't forget feeding the masses with that limited grocery list of   
   bread and fishes).   
      
   If we wish to emulate our Lord, we too must "think outside the box".   
      
   Is it not our very narrow and linear kind of thinking which has us pinching   
   pennies just to survive?   
      
   Think about that parable..If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day.   
   If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Think about it.. you   
   receive every Sunday or whatever your day of worship a collection from your   
   congregation. Everyone donates to your church an amount of money. Let's call   
   that a fish. You now have enough fish (maybe) to pay your expenses till next   
   service. You are guilty of linear thinking. Would it not be in your and each   
   and every member of your congregation best interest to contribute a boatload   
   of fish. (Thinking like our Lord..outside the box)   
      
   I have designed a chart outlining the various attributes of various kinds of   
   financing choices you may be making. I have included the 3X3 Matrix Program   
   I wish to introduce I affectionately call   
      
   the TRINITY Matrix (Remember NOT to prejudge)   
      
   Financing Attributes Thinking   
      
   Conventional Cumbersome/Complex/Long Amortization Linear   
      
   Banks have the power   
      
   Market Based   
      
   (stocks/bonds) Risky/Uncontrollable/Market has the power Linear + ?   
      
   TRINITY MATRIX Extremely Low Risk/People have the power Exponential   
      
   ____________________________________________________________________________   
   ___   
      
   Let's Deal with The Absolutes...The Very Worst Thing and the Very Best Thing   
   that can happen.   
      
   Worst Case Scenario: You lose a grand total of $20. (you and your 3 sign   
   ups)   
      
   and would only be achieved if you did not do the 3 steps and the most   
   important step 4   
      
   Best Case Scenario: You have financial peace of mind and you have unified   
      
   and strengthened your following by creating a common cause and a means to   
   reach a common goal.   
      
   Does your present plan have that kind of Risk/Reward ?   
      
   Think about it..Maybe it's the financial vehicle you are using to accomplish   
   your goals is the wrong vehicle. To use an analogy..Are going to achieve the   
   destination you want riding a bicycle (conventional financing) or a Ferrari   
   (Trinity Matrix). Consider this, the bicycle will only go as fast as a   
   bicycle is designed to do. It will still go from A to B (albiet much slower   
   than the Ferrari). Is it the bicycle's fault it cannot get from A to B as   
   fast as the Ferrari? No, because the bicycle is not designed to be as fast   
   as a Ferrari. So, the point of this message is to select the proper   
   financial vehicle to accomplish your financial goals.   
      
   Consider this; Is it easier to control market conditions or the power of the   
   people with the same like minded goals as yourself? Which is easier to   
   manage..something complex or something simple.? Life is about choices. If   
   your ministry is struggling to survive it may be a matter of choice. In all   
   fairness, do not be hard on yourself as the simple solution was never   
   available...until now..   
      
   IMPORTANT !!   
      
   Do not let the secular/opportunity facade of the web page discourage you as   
   it simply the package wrapper or (to use an automobile analogy) the body of   
   the car. (Are you pre-judging again?) What is important is the Engine !!   
   (Matrix Component)..remember the Ferrari? Please read below on how to enter   
   into a world of a ministry of financial freedom and prosperity, and actually   
   do, not just dream of the things on your ministries agenda.   
      
      
   The essentials of this program is very simple.   
      
   A one time contribution of only $5 and sharing with 3 other persons.   
      
   to do the same. I would suggest the principal (pastor or minister) and 3   
   elders.   
      
   Then, the 3 elders would in turn each teach 3 who would in turn each teach   
   3....etc.   
      
   I call it a TRINITY MATRIX. I'm sure those reading this the power and   
   significance   
      
   of the number 3 is evident. Now before you dismiss this out of hand as a   
   scam   
      
   or a scheme (prejudge) I encourage you to immediately go my website.   
      
   www.theprivatepage.com/gdb321   
      
   Please listen to the audio clips and try to understand what is being   
      
   said with an open mind. You may see the value of the Educational   
      
   Products and how this may be of use to promote the ministry. You may   
      
   see the value of something I don't see.
