1. The Free Grocery Project A Business Ministry Program

2. The Free Grocery Project has been developed to help churches and outreach organizations support their programs that provide food and services to those in need.

3. Prayer: "God of love, fill a hungry belly. Please bring bread, real bread, to feed your hungry children struggling with getting enough to eat. Let us be Your hands in the world, that no one may cry out for food and remain empty, in Your Holy name. Amen.“

4. Do you go to bed hungry? Do you know where your next meal is coming from? Do you know how many in your community go hungry every night? Do you know how devastating it is to ask someone else for food to eat? Or having your kids ask for something to eat and you have nothing to give them?

5. Who are the hungry? Victims of disaster Natural, economic, war, famine Working Poor (underemployed) Single-parent Families Unemployed Mentally Ill Homeless Disabled Elderly 1 in 4 Children (US) 1 in 6 Adults (US)

43. Would you welcome another source to help provide resources for your outreach programs?

44. In Acres of Diamonds, by Rev. Russell Conwell, a farmer desired to be wealthy, so he sold his land and went off in search of diamonds. The man that bought the farm found rocks in the white sands of his garden that turned out to be diamonds. Thus was discovered the Diamond Mines of Golconda, India, one of the richest diamond mines in history.

45. Your board of directors, staff, and supporters represent the Acres of Diamonds in your own back yardthat can help provide additional funding for your programs. Because… Everyone is already spending money on groceries!

46. What if every time you bought groceries you were also helping to feed hungry families?

47. We recommend that your directors, staff, and supporters take some of the money they are spending on groceries for their own families and buy groceries through MPB Today. By following the MPB Today plan, your outreach organization can receive upwards of $10,000 or more per month in cash and groceries. (That is over $120,000 per year!)

48. What kind of difference would this make in the amount of help your programs could provide? Getting started is easy.

49. How MPB Today Works MPB Today is affiliated with an innovative grocery home delivery service to create a way to reduce or totally eliminate the out-of-pocket expense of your grocery bills PLUS develop a new income stream for you and your outreach organization.

50. How MPB Today Works Our products are used by everyone… name-brand groceries! The money is already a large part of the family budget. Families average from $500 - $800 a month on groceries.

51. How MPB Today Works MPB Today uses word-of-mouth networking to market their program. This is the same type of marketing used by thousands of companies all across the world.

52. How MPB Today Works You create an income stream for your church or outreach organization by enrolling your organization into the MPB Today business matrix. Then you enroll all your board members, staff and loyal supporters as members under the organization. Each time the members help the organization cycle they generate income and/or groceries for the organization.

53. How MPB Today Works Each member that enrolls will make a one time purchase of a $200 grocery voucher and pay an annual fee of $10. There is nothing else to buy in the future. Qualified enrollees also receive free shipping and handling on their groceries. Answer this question: Would you spend $200 one time out-of-pocket on groceries if you could totally eliminate your grocery bills, plus help provide groceries and cash to your outreach organization?

54. What do you get with your $200 grocery voucher? $200 in groceries! Place an order today and just pay shipping and handling Or you can wait until after you cycle and choose from one of two options: Qualify for free shipping and handling on your MPB Today grocery purchases Or, receive a $200 gift card to buy your groceries (or anything else) locally.

55. How MPB Today Works Complete a 2x2 Business Matrix Direct Sales =========== CYCLE 1 =========== When $1200 in Team Sales Volume is reached within the first 2 levels of Bob’s team (with at least 2 direct sales), Bob cycles and receives $300… $100 in cash and another $200 in groceries… PLUS a $50 retail sales bonus for each New retail sale = $100 Bonus. A cycle qualifies for free shipping and handling on groceries, or get a $200 gift card. PLUS re-entry into another 2x2 matrix.

56. How MPB Today Works =========== CYCLE 1 =========== =========== CYCLE 2 =========== NEW 2x2 Business Matrix As each person that enrolled under Bob themselves cycles, they re-enter another 2x2 matrix under the sponsor that enrolled them. This follow-me sponsorship also works the same way for everyone that cycles. Some will benefit when others cycle and fall under them.

57. How MPB Today Works =========== CYCLE 1 =========== =========== CYCLE 2 =========== As each person that enrolled under Bob themselves cycles, they re-enter another 2x2 matrix under the sponsor that enrolled them. This follow-me sponsorship also works the same way for everyone that cycles. Some will benefit when others cycle and fall under them.

58. How MPB Today Works =========== CYCLE 1 =========== =========== CYCLE 2 =========== There is no limit to the number of times someone can re-cycle. Monthly … Weekly … Daily Every cycle generates $300… $100 in cash and another $200 in groceries PLUS free shipping and handling on groceries, or a $200 gift card. PLUS re-entry into another 2x2 matrix.

59. All groceries after the first cycle are FREE!!!

66. Review You… Utilize the Acres of Diamonds within your organization itself (members and supporters). Use money already being spent on food. Create an ongoing funding stream for your outreach organization by supplying free groceries and revenue. Help your organization members and supporters create additional income for their family. Help to reduce hunger in your community.

67. Review Those who are struggling and have little or no food are not the ones that will make this program work. The Free Grocery Project offers a way for you to buy groceries and at the same time generate money to feed others who can not.

68. Ask Yourself… Does your current program have enough funding? Do you have a desire or a need to expand your current program to help more people? Do you know others who can use the help this project has to offer? Do you need the help this project has to offer?

69. Lord, we pray for those who do not have enough food to eat, especially for the children. We pray for eyes to see and ears to hear where our neighbors are in need. Guide us to be bold and creative using what we have to meet those needs. In your Holy name, Amen. Closing Prayer
