Used stamps are spreading the Gospel to Spanish speakers!
Since 1972, by processing and selling used stamps to buyers around the world, the Shellpoint Alliance Stamp Ministry has raised more than $1.2 million to support the publishing and distribution of Spanish language Sunday School curriculum and evangelical literature in Latin America, Spain and the US. More than 50 lesson series have been published and are being used in 40 different denominations in Spanish-speaking countries and the United States.
In 2024 the stamp ministry generated $27,000 in support of this Sunday school program, and 2025's total has exceeded that as of September with $29,005!
Please help us to support this minutry by saving used stamps and dropping them into the receptacle outside the church office! We do not sell the stamps ourselves, but we trim and sort them, then send them to the stamp ministry in Florida.
TIPS
- If it's stuck on the envelope (not printed on) it's valuable, even if it's damaged or not canceled!
- Computer-generated postage or stamps that are pre-printed on envelopes are also accepted if it's a picture.
- You can trim domestic stamps, leaving at least 1/4 to 1/3 inch around the stamp, or just bring that half of the envelope or the whole envelope. Our stamp people will trim them properly.
- If you contribute a foreign stamp, please don't trim it - give us the envelope.
- Do not remove stamps from the envelopes (that's actually a federal offense, whether the stamp is canceled or not).
- The ministry also collects OLD picture postcards, both used and unused.
