Thank
you very much for the stamps you collect for the Alliance Stamp Ministry. The
income from their sale goes to support the preparation, publishing and
distribution of a new Spanish-language curriculum for Sunday Schools in Latin
America. More than 50 lesson series have been published and are being used in
churches of 40 different denominations and missions in 15 Latin American
countries.
In
2005, a total of $27,000 was realized from the sale of the used stamps. The
grand total since the inception of the ministry in 1971 amounts to $579,361
(greater now because 2006 amounts have been added to it.
