Truthfabric Testimony heard at the Scunthorpe Friends' of Gideons Branch, Scunthorpe, 14th May 2009


Well, there is a fire burning in 'sunny Scunny!'Dr. Barton and Truthfabric founder Paul Vivian, both members of the Gideons Grimsby Branch, were invited over to Scunthorpe by the friends of Gideons in the town, to share their Testimonies. Dr. Barton shared about his incredible rescue from the North Sea when his yacht turned over and he was thrown into 6m high waves and force 9 winds, 30 miles East of Spurn Point in the English Channel! Everyone was aghast as they heard how Dr. Barton, with one man already dead in the water having suffered a heart attack as soon as he had hit the icey sea, held out calling on the Lord, as the waves crashed over his head in the colourless and overwhelming conditions of the open sea amidst a great storm. After several hours a Air-Sea Rescue Helicopter managed to locate and lift Dr Barton and his son out of the stormy sea!Dr. Barton shared from Psalm 89 and spoke briefly on God's faithfulness to His children.
Paul, on the other hand shared how Truthfabric began the day his son Gabriel walked into the bathroom wearing the infamous red Spiderman undies and Paul asking himself, "Why can't Christian parents buy hero characters - who can actually impart something of the character and nature of God to kids - from the world's most popular, best read book of all time: The Bible?"
At that time there was nothing available as a Christian alternative in terms of bedcovers, underwear etc, to the world's hero bedding for kids.
After the evening a very splendid buffet was put on by sister Marion, whilst a beautiful young lady named Sophie was handed an Esther bedset + CD, kindly donated by Dr. Barton (pictured below).
Thank you to all the Scunthorpe Gideons and Friends of Gideons who made the evening such an excellent and memorable occaision!
Bless you all! Blaze on!!

Dr Barton and Sophie, delighted with her Esther bedset!


New t-shirts!!!


The New Range of Kids t-shirts now in the UK!!!


Here are just three of our new Hero range t-shirts for kidz! Featuring David (those are Goliath's feet in the foreground), Daniel and Joshua!

T-Shirt Spec:

These t-shirts are made from a 150 g.s.m pure and ethically sourced and produced cotton. So the t-shirt is not only very hard wearing but also super-soft to the skin. Plus, we have moved away from the 'irratable tag syndrome'! All our wash instructions etc, which would normally have been printed on a floppy tag, are now also printed into the actual t-shirt itself! And a Double Plus Feature: all our kidz t-shirts are printed using the latest German Printing technology, which bonds the design into the actual t-shirt - rather than onto - so it won't ever crack or break up, no matter how many times you wash it, but will remain intact and last throughout the life of the t-shirt!!!

Bonus Feature 2.

All our t-shirts also come with an insert card of the design on the t-shirt for kidz to colour in, and on the reverse the story of the Hero character and a memory verse! These make great activities & Prizes for Sunday School, and will be available as a free download on our new website, going online as from the 21st of May!!!

So, God bless you, and please let us know your comments!

Bruno's Baptism at Pastor Dave Latham's City Harvest Church Liverpool

Vessel of Honour, Bruno decides to wear the t-shirt during his Church Baptism

Left.

Bruno, am man of Honour for God, desires with his whole heart to reflect the charcter of Christ in his life. It was Ed Cole who so wisely said,

"Being male is amatter of birth, but being a mna is a matter of choice. Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous."
This is the first time the Vessel of Honour t-shirt is being worn for a Baptism (8th March 2009). The designer, Paul Vivian, was so thrilled to be aprt of Bruno's 'death' and 'resurrection' Baptism.
"This was one of the reasons we made this t-shirt. Men need reminding of who they are called to be....the road is narrow. It is our intention at Truthfabric to provide resources, of such excellence in terms of quality and symbolism, to strengthen Faith and help Christians engage with the unsaved world, in the market place, business world, youth club, college etc.
The Vessel of Honour t-shirt, promoted for us by Nigel Benn is a very special resource. We have just made 30 for a boy's Summer Youth Camp this year. Our prices for bulk orders are very attractive and all our t-shirts are made from the very best Premium 220 gsm cotton.

Truthfabric's 'Replacement' Theology! Out with worldly heroes, in with godly ones for kids!


To blast off into the New Year, Paul attended the Kinsway Children's Ministry Conference, in January. Many new contacts and enquiries were taken, especially from Church Leaders, when Paul explained just Truthfabric can help them get their message accross to a wider public through their ability to manufacture customised t-shirts.
Many Youth Leaders and Children's Ministers were extremely interested in the God's Soldier, and Vessel of Honour t-shirt designs for their Youth! Praise God! Also, major interest was shown in the Bible Hero underwear, with many positive comments being given from Christian parents talking about what heroes parents allow their children to buy into; the general consensus was that parents need something to replace worldly heroes with godly ones and it has to start in the early years! What better than with their first underwear?
"Knife crime is on the up and up, look what recently happened in Belgium, but is it any wonder when kids of 12 are allowed to go and see the new Batman movie and listen to the Joker explaining why he likes to use a knife on his victims? We must put gates up around our kids' imaginations, whilst allowing them the healthy creativity to fantasise, since it is every boys desire to be a knight and every girls desire to be a princess. must 'replace' the worlds power-centred-in-self heroes with power-centred-in-God heroes?" states Paul

Ceramic Hero sculptures, bringing God's heroes into the everyday Living Spaces of our homes!


Donna Peterson, a local sculptress from Grimsby contacted Paul Vivian and asked if she could make a few ceramic items using the designs Truthfabric has for their cotton resources? "Of course", said Paul and off he went to see Donna's studio in Grimsby. The result, as you can see is that Truthfabric are slowly expanding their range of products, with hand made lampstands, mugs, money boxes etc, along with cast iron Lion Shield gate plaques! This is a wonderful new idea, to get the Word of God and real Bible Heroes into homes. Imagine beautiful bedside lampstands for children, or Lion Shield mugs for men etc. We want the Word of God to be so physically present we are everywhere reminded of Father God's omnipresence!
The new sculpture taken from the story of Daniel and the Lions Den, is here only 3 hours old!
