    A Part-time Vocation

            that Provides for

               Full-time Ministry!

Time for Ministry and the Family! 

 

Pastor Jon Church of Sedalia, MO. found himself in this situation over 15 years ago working weird hours including  Saturdays and then scrambling to be ready for church the next morning. Jon had a passion for missions, he wanted his church to also have a heart for missions. But, like so many bivocational pastors Jon couldn’t put it together and make it fit. He knew Gods calling was real, Jon just needed a secular vocation that would give him FREEDOM TO DO WHAT GOD WANTS. In 1995 Jon made a career change and joined Fas-Break Windshield Repair. Today Jon pastors a church that does missions, several every year. You can read about Jon’s church   "Katy Park Baptist Church" in “The Pathway” a Missouri Baptist Newspaper. Jon and his family do annual vacations. His wife Debra has stated that their family life has only improved!

 

Pastor Ron Ingram of Fort Smith, Arkansas had a job that paid well but only allowed him to see 20 people a week, the same 20 people every single week. It was hard for Ron to cultivate relationships in the church little else the community. Today Ron sees 20 to 40 different people every day he operates his Fas-Break Windshield Repair business. He’s getting to know his community and they’re getting to know him (and the Lord). The Arkansas Baptist News printed a story about "Abundant Life Church" and the outreach this church is having. This outreach is due in part because of Ron’s heart and because of the TIME Ron can spend nurturing relationships.

 

Pastor James Bryant of Harrison, AR. puts it this way, “I can fix your windshield, but God can fix your life”

Pastor Scott Tafoya of Albuquerque, NM. “Fas-Break gave me the flexibility to schedule my ministry responsibilities”

 

These pastors have the desire that whatever is happening “GOD COMES FIRST

What has allowed many bivocational ministers, and many layman this FREEDOM is a career change to Fas-Break Windshield Repair. Windshield Repair is a industry that has saved millions of windshields from being replaced. One of the greatest aspects of this industry is that insurance companies “waive” comprehensive deductibles when an insured chooses to repair vs. replace a windshield. This little fact means that most of the work Fas-Break Techs do wont cost our clients a dime.

 

     For instance;

     Let's say your windshield had a 14 inch crack!

     Would you let me repair it if;

              I guaranteed to stop it from growing, 

              made it almost disappear and

              it didn’t cost you a dime! …...       

     Would you let me fix it? …................ I’m sure you would!

 

We offer service!      We’re not selling products!

 

 

Men, you don’t have to feel like the stressed-out pastor in the picture! Call for answers and about our special offer for ministers.

 

May the Lord Bless and keep you!

The International Missions Board (IMB) places doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. into strategic international areas to build relationships and nurture church growth.


Fas-Break believes this concept is fundamental here in our nation as well!

A Minister providing Fas-Break Windshield Repair services during normal working hours can build relationships in the community and nurture deeper relationships in the church. Imagine, time for hospital and nursing home visits, emergencies, discipling while working from 8 to 5, leaving most evenings free to nurture the family.

 Is this the type of ministry you wanted?

Fas-Break believes giving a minister a business of his own frees him 

"to say, to do, and to go" when God calls him without the hindrances of an employer.
Is this the type of ministry you wanted?

A Fas-Break Windshield Repair business is highly profitable. Would receiving $50.00+ checks from insurance companies for 1/2 an hour spent servicing and visiting a member of the community out weigh $10.00 an hour under the control of an employer?

Some communities do not even have jobs available for pastors.

By giving intentional small church pastors (bivocational or church planter) a secular profession, when God calls him to a new field, finding work will not be a major issue. Also, another pastor could acquire the local Fas-Break Windshield Repair services already being offered.

Ministers are struggling! Fas-Break has godly men in 18 states already and could use thousands more. Pastors have stated they have become better pastors because of what they have learned in Fas-Break. 

You owe it to yourself to check out Fas-Break.
Directors of missions, you owe it to your pastors to check it out!

INTRODUCING

 FAS-BREAK   R

  Also   Working in the “Acts of God” Business.

 

Insurance Companies after great study and in their great wisdom, have determined that the rocks that hit windshields are caused by “Acts of God” under the comprehensive section of an auto insurance policy.

At the same time, in their great wisdom, they determined that by repairing the chips “before” they crack any further, it would be cost effective to the insurance companies to save the windshield rather than replacing the entire windshield.

To the detriment of the windshield replacement companies, they also agreed to “pay for” the repair, even if the policy required a “deductible”. That means whoever has an auto policy with comprehensive coverage can have chips or small cracks repaired and most insurance companies will pay for it.

                

                   So how does a FREE service sound.

                                        This makes for an awesome pastor support fund.
