Advice from Martin, our Postal Expert:
“In mailing the silver it should go in a small padded envelope so it will not be run through machines (The silver does not bend easily and I have found 1 oz rounds in the machines when cleaning them because they were mailed in letter envelopes that were torn open by the machines). This will ensure proper delivery.”

Should each spouse sign up separately?
Yes, since each of us has our own gifts and a separate and unique calling. Each person signing up should send their own “ransom” money.
What is the minimum age?
Jesus established that He was about HIS FATHER’S business prior to the age of 20. If you are about OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S Business at the age of 13 and older and believe you are to register, I am in agreement with you.
I forgot my password on the website, what should I do?
Email us at unity153@gmail.com and we will reset your password and notify you by email.
Can we “register” now and send the silver later?
Yes. Once you have sent the silver, go back to “Your Information” and click on the question concerning the silver.
I don’t have the money to obtain a 1 ounce silver coin, how can I participate?
The registration period last until September 14th, 2013. If you are unable to save enough to acquire a silver coin, write us at Servias Ministries, PO Box 1471, Bethany, OK 73008 and explain your situation. We may be able to help through other members assisting you financially. Remember, you can register before sending the coin.
“What do you mean by sending in our silver? Do you want an actual silver coin, a donation, or what? Several of us are interested. “
Yes, the silver coin is the tangible representation of your commitment to be counted. Yesterday, I went down to the local coin shop and purchased two 1 ounce silver coins for Pam and myself as our “ransom money” requirement. I paid $30 for each (a nice premium). Our Heavenly Father requires the coin in a census. (see: http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2009/01-2009/the-law-of-the-census-and-poll-tax-part-1/) Yes, we will classify the coin as a donation to Servias Ministries. We are making a record of the census and are accounting for all coins given.
Is there any particular coin I must send?
No, whatever is available. I had no problem buying US Silver Eagles yesterday. Friends in Great Britain are sending Aussie coins. Remember, you can register online then later send the coin if you are having problems finding one. Some may send Silver Rounds that are hallmarked by the silver producer such as NW Territorial Mint.
Is it okay to send additional coins or funds to help others who cannot afford the coin?
Absolutely. We will track the need where others want to register but cannot afford the ransom. Please check the appropriate box on the “Your Information” screen.
I can’t afford to send a coin, how do I let you know if sending a request through the mail is too difficult?
When you enter your information, after signing in, there is a checkbox for you to click on that indicates you need assistance.
If I have a friend or family member who does not have access to the Internet, can they still register?
Yes, we will register them into our database upon receiving their information and coin. Our goal is to register everyone who is called, no matter what their financial status or technology status.
Should my wife and I each register separately?
Yes, that will help us track your information.
Is my personal information kept confidential?
Yes, we take all reasonable measures to protect your information. When you login, we use a “secure” connection as indicated by the little lock up in the address bar.
I tried to access the site and got “page unavailable”.
“Page unavailable” occurs when we take the server down for nightly maintenance and system backup. This normally occurs between 12:15 A.M. to 4:00 A.M. (Mountain Time)
I will answer other questions as they arise. I may also include comments at our weekly online Bible study. To participate live or watch this Bible study as a recording afterwards, go to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love
