The Mission: A Heart for God’s People
"Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10
For those of us who know Keith McMinn, we know a man whose life is a melody of praise to our Savior. As the Worship Pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in Yorktown, Keith has spent years helping us fix our eyes on Jesus. Recently, the Lord put a new calling on Keith’s heart: to capture the beauty of God’s character in writing. His first book, No One Like HIM, is the beginning of the Be Still and Know series. These pages aren't just words; they are an invitation for the weary, the seeking, and the faithful to know God in a deeper, more meaningful way.
A God-Sized Opportunity
We believe that when God provides a vision, He also provides a way. Keith has been granted a rare and prestigious opportunity to attend the Christian Product Expo (CPE) this August. This is not just a convention; it is a strategic mission field for the written Word. Redemption Press has selected Keith as one of only five publishers to pitch new releases directly to national retailers. Through this event, "No One Like HIM" could reach:
- Christian bookstore owners from all 50 states.
- International buyers and retail decision-makers.
- Over 150,000 families through the MUNCE Christmas catalog.
Why Your Support Matters
To take this leap of faith, Keith needs those who share his vision to stand behind him. The Christian Product Expo provides an incredible platform, but the costs of national distribution, travel, and professional representation are significant. Your prayers and financial gifts will cover:
- National Exposure: Fees for the Redemption Press featured pitch and booth displays.
- Strategic Marketing: Inclusion in the CRA Today magazine and the MUNCE holiday promotion (reaching 140,000+ customers).
- Logistics: Travel, lodging, and meals for the duration of the Expo.
- Generosity: Providing free review copies to bookstore owners to encourage them to carry the book in their local communities.
Impact of attending the Christian Product Expo:
- Placing Keith's book in the hands of those who stock church libraries and local shops.
- Professional book trailers and media interviews to spread the message.
- Allowing Keith to be physically present to sign books and share his testimony.
A Partnership in the Gospel
By supporting Keith, you are doing more than helping an author; you are helping a pastor share the character of God with a world that desperately needs to see Him. No matter the amount, every gift is an investment in a resource that points others back to the Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ. Whether you are able to provide funding for Keith or not, please be in prayer for:
- Open Doors: That bookstore owners would be drawn to the message of the book.
- Divine Appointments: That Keith would have gospel-centered conversations at CPE.
- Stewardship: That every dollar raised would be used to maximize the reach of God’s truth.
