AUGUST: New Shop, New Products, New Team Member!
Hi everyone. This month we are launching The Gospel Coloring Factbook (see below), opening new online shops and more
NEW TEAM MEMBER
Please welcome our new colourist Maaike Ross to the team! Though Maaike lives in the Netherlands I met her in the UK, face-to-face at the Big Church Day Out event! In her free time, she loves hiking, working out & cooking, and is currently writing and drawing her own comic which is soon going to be released on Webtoon.
EXCLUSIVE GOSPEL COLOURING FACTBOOK
For anyone who missed this in the Jonah Kickstarter, we are now releasing the Gospel Colouring Factbook to buy on our website! This item will only be available directly through us. This first edition has no ISBN or barcode and will not appear on Amazon or in shops.
This gospel-based colouring book features illustrations from the nativity and ministry of Jesus, including his death and resurrection. Alongside the colouring pages are details and examples of the historical period, as well as facts and biblical points of interest relevant to the events pictured. Finally, each event has all the bible verses so you can compare the accounts and meditate on them as you colour!
You can buy a single copy for just £3.99p
We believe these will be great for youth work, small groups and church gifts so we've also created an extra special price for those looking to buy multiple copies! You can buy 5 for just £14.99 (£3 each), or 10 for just £19.99 (£2 each).
The age category is labelled as PG. Parental guidance is advised as there are images from the crucifixion that may or may not be too much for under 10s.
The book has 32 interior pages plus two colourable inside covers. The pages are sturdy 150gsm paper.
USA & SPANISH SHOPS OPEN
I've just opened two new shops on my website! One specific to shoppers in America & Canada, and one "en español". This feels like a big step forward and also means you can now preorder your books in the USA and Canada and both Spanish books too! The USA release of Matthew's Gospel as well and the worldwide release of El Evangelio de Mateo is September 1st!

T-SHIRTS: If you are awaiting a t-shirt, these are getting ordered this week and should be within a week or two.
PRAYER
Prisons: Thank you to everyone who has prayed so far. We have got books into two prisons as a trial and we hope to get good testimonies from these in order to open it up to the other prisons. Please continue to pray for the Comics to be allowed into UK jails and that they will transform lives with the gospels.
The USA and Canada Launch: Please pray the shipping containers to arrive safe and sound and in time to get the books into the shops. Also, please continue to pray that we make the most of the opportunity to launch into the USA and utilising the Spanish versions reaching a whole new section of people with the Gospel in comic form!
Other Languages: Thank you to everyone who has prayed for this, we have a new option with a Portuese publisher which we are exploring and we hope to obtain many other languages with Riggins Rights working hard to licence the publishers around the world. so it's still all to pray for ;)
