Share this Penny Crusade Video to Help Us Meet our Goal

Because so many churches are meeting online or in the parking lot, we made a video for you to share on your church Facebook page or website to encourage online giving to Penny Crusade. Since we published this video, it has had 102 engagements on Facebook and 36 views on YouTube, which has yielded five online gifts so far. Right now, the Penny Crusade annual budget is only 34% funded. We believe we can get 100% funding this year despite all the turmoil and change. Will you help?

  • Share this video on your church Facebook page.
  • Give a prayerful amount today using the online link at pennycrusade.com
  • Thank God that we have a chance to advance the gospel around the world.

New Book from Erik Reynolds

What if MAKING DISCIPLES isn’t something that requires more appointments, meetings, and and late nights?

Are you already tired and weary from a jam-packed schedule?

  • For years I felt overwhelmed with the call to make disciples and not knowing how to fit this good work into my calendar.
  • Since coming to Christ, I was overtaken with a sincere burden to see those around me come to know Jesus.
  • Drawing from my careful study of the Scriptures and experiences, including my time in the Army, I offer the reader a theological and practical path forward for dedicated yet busy followers of Jesus.

I Invite you to read my new book “Go!: Teaching all that Jesus commands to those who Jesus commands us to reach.“

Accompanied with brevity, careful biblical study, and pointed examples discover where God has called you to reach people and what to reach them with.

“In down-to-earth language, Erik Reynolds extends an invitation to disciple-making that is at once informative as well as motivating. Reading this resource will help all those who have been embraced by the gospel to extend the friendship and warmth of Jesus to others.” -Dr. Gordon L. Isaac, Berkshire Professor of Church History, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
