This site can be used by anyone, however, it is designed and dedicated to Christians everywhere. Our aim with this site is to supply you (the Christian) with Creative ways to share Christ with those around you. Our world has changed so very much in the last 50 years. The church has also changed. One of the main changes in the church is the way we worship. Another change is the look of our church plant. The way we teach has also changed. With all the changes that have taken place one thing that has not changed, nor should it ever change, the message of Christ. With this site we would like to offer some new ideas that would change the way we approach sharing our faith in Christ with those who do not know our Savior. The direct approach to evangelism (confronting people you meet about their faith) is not well received in today’s world. But even Jesus did very little of the direct approach during His ministry 2000 years ago. Jesus would first establish a personal relationship with His subjects. He would do something to get their full attention. After He had their full attention He would then tell them about His Father in heaven. Some examples of this are: He first healed the blind man; He first fed the 5000; He first filled the nets of His future disciples with fish; and He first had dinner with Zacchaeus. I feel all to often that we hit people over the head with the gospel before we ever connect with them as people. Here at Creative Design Ministries we offer craft ideas that are designed to help make that first connection with people. A connection that is designed to break down barriers that stand between them and God. We want to show you how to make crafts that will be that connection for the people with whom you come in contact. How can we make homemade crafts for you? The answer is “Soft Goods”. “Soft goods” are products that you can download directly from this site to your computer. The “soft goods” you will download will come complete with receipes, directions and template cards. All cards will come with scripture that will tie the craft and the card to our faithful purpose. Directions on how to make each craft will be supplied in the download you purchase. You can use these same crafts and ideas over and over again. Once you purchase the idea you are free to use it as often and as long as you have a need for it. We also have a limited number of already prepared crafts that you can buy from us. All these products are limited to what we have available at that time. We have many different craft ideas that we will be adding to the site. Some will be for individuals and some would be good for groups such as: children’s camps; youth groups; ladies organizations and even churches and church staff members. We will do our best to supply as much information as possible about each craft so that you will know what you are getting and how you can use it to minister to those around you. Thank You & God Bless, Creative Design Ministries
