Good afternoon,

I'm happy to say that we sold our pews, thanks in large part to your website. We received our asking price and are on our way to refurnishing our chapel space. I am so very pleased at the results!

Thanks, again, for the service you offer.

My pews were spoken for within 24 hours.  A woman from North Jersey had them picked up by a huge semi truck.  They were taken to a ship yard and loaded into a container.  All 27 pews are on their way to Ghana to her brother's church.  Blessings all around!

Thank you for the service you provide.  I must have gotten 2 dozen calls.  Please remove the pews from the listing. 
God Bless You,

Your service is working too well - I have had tons of interest in the pews.  Please take the posting down as I don't want to disappoint people.

Thanks and God bless, Matt

The set of pews I advertised, has now been given away.  They were claimed in less than 12 hours! Thank you so much for your website.  It was a big help to us and I'm sure the pews will be put to good use by those acquiring them. Thanks again,
Dennis Jackson

I can't tell you how much your service is appreciated!  We have had a TON of calls!  Good job!

Thanks for everything Usedpews.org Is great and we successfully sold the Church pews by the end of may! 

Hi,   I’m writing to let you know that last Friday, we sold our chairs as a result of someone finding them on your website. We got less for them than we originally hoped, but the church that bought them is a new church plant in New Jersey, and are happy to have “real” chairs after borrowing and renting chairs. Thank you for your service. It served us VERY WELL.

Thank You. You folks have been great to work with.  We have recommended you to several other churches.

Dear folks at Gabriel Church Services and usedpews.org,

I wanted to inform you that we sold all our pews today [set #3728] to
a newer and growing church from our own town of Gillette in Wyoming!
The treasurer of the church was searching for pews and anticipating
that they would have to travel to Georgia or Oregon to acquire and
transport pews, but found our listing on your site and was amazed!  A
delegation from their church visited Sunday afternoon and looked over
our furniture.  They decided to purchase all our pews, a pulpit,
communion table, and a small sound system.  We also were able to
donate our communion ware, a desk, and bookshelves to help them in
their work for the Lord.

Thank you for your very valuable service.  Even though we were in the
same city, it was your website that brought us together and we give
all the glory to Christ.

Incidentally, thank you also for your scammer page, as I did receive a
typical scam request (poor English, terrible punctuation) from a
"James in Auora, Colorado"  (even the city was misspelled).  I did a
quick search of the name MarkWilliams in the email address and found
the scam to be of Nigerian origin.

I will definitely recommend your site to others looking to give away,
sell, or purchase church furniture.

May God bless your ministry to help equip and strengthen churches and
believers in Christ.

Set 3609 Tampa, FL

Blessings in Christ: Thank you for posting our intentions to bless a church with our pews (#3609). We have had over 60 churches from all over the United States respond to the add. The first church that called was from Jacksonville Florida, and we committed the pews to them. They responded within five minutes of posting. On Nov 11 2010 they showed up with a tractor trailer and hauled off 22 pews (20 at 14” – 2 at 10” – and 2 at 6” for the platform). We also blessed them with brand new carpet that we had donated to us but could not use.

Set 3495 - Mars Hill NC  SOLD IN 2 WEEKS

Good morning.  Please note that we have now sold the pews and chairs we listed on your website.  We are delighted that not only our church but several other churches have been able to fill their needs through the ad we posted on your website.  You provide a wonderful service to faith communities.

Thanks very much.

Our church in North Georgia advertised donating our pews on your website.  Within two hours we had already received inquiries and received over 40 in all over the course of about two weeks.  We even received a request from Manila.  Thanks to your service, another church has been blessed.  I appreciate what you do for our wonderful Lord.

Set 3129 - King, NC

We have found a church to donate these pews to.  Thank you so much for your help. You may remove this posting from the web-page.  I do want to give a testimony about your website.  Our church started in a basement and soon moved to a store front.  After we grew out of the store front, the Lord seen fit for us to find an old warehouse to hold church in.  We had to spend so much to get it presentable and couldn’t afford pews.  We went to your website and found a church that was looking to donate their old pews.   We drove to Raleigh, NC to pick these pews up. These pews have been a great blessing!  The Lord has now provided us with an opportunity to purchase new pews and we wanted to share the blessing.  I am happy to say that the Lord has used your website to bless yet another church with the pews that were donated to us.  Thank you again for your ministry.  I will discuss with our pastor about a donation to your ministry.  It has certainly been a blessing.

Thanks again and God bless!

Dear Gabriel Ministries,

When we went to sell our pews, people asked me how I was going to sell them.  I told them I listed them on the web at www.usedpews.org.   They laughed at that the notion that someone would ever even look there.  However, in early fall, we listed our pews through your service, and they all sold within a couple of weeks.  Then everyone laughed a laugh of joy.  It was a fantastic tool for us and we are really grateful for the ministry niche you have discovered and provide.

Now, we have listed another piece for sale, and within a week we received a contact and a resulting sale!!

Thanks so much for your ministry presence and for facilitating such a great networking tool.  Trust me, I talk about Gabriel ministries and used church furniture.

God Bless,

Hello Friends,

This message is to let you know that, thanks to your ministry, we have sold our pews.  Rev. Scott told me that you had a 94% success rate with your listings, and I think that statistic must be too low!  We listed our pews on a Friday, made a deal on Tuesday, and the buyer drove from 3 states away to pick them up on Sunday.  What a mighty God we serve!  Our church can't thank you enough for being there for us to put us in contact with people we otherwise would have never had the resources to connect with.  You have truly been a blessing to our ministry and we can only pray that the modest donation we gave you is a seed into the tremendous growth and prosperity you are destined for.  Thank you again for your help!

We are so excited here in Mississippi @ Mt.

Scott and the Gabriel Ministries.  Who wouldn’t serve a God like Jesus and His Father.

May God continue to bless all of you.

I just wanted to say God bless you and the ministry you are providing for the saints throughout the country!  I placed an ad on your site Saturday, and by Monday evening I had several calls – all of which wanted the chairs we had to offer! We had 80 high quality church chairs to offer and my only regret is that we couldn’t accommodate ALL the callers. We’re in NJ and a church in Ga. was the successful securer.

Since this was so successful, we’re putting out another ad to bless someone else with more church furniture!

Thanks again and may the LORD keep your ministry alive and vibrant until He comes!

Greetings Scott,

This is just to let you know that I have received an offer to purchase our all of our furniture and pews for the listed price and we should be affirming that with funds this  morning.   I also have another church that called me this morning and wants to be notified if this transaction falls through.  I also have had several other “interested” parties  call for just the pulpit, table, and stand.  Unfortunately, they did not affirm their interest with an offer until after I had agreed to this other one.  I told them that I would keep them informed if the status of our furniture became available again for some reason.

If this transaction completes as we agreed, it will only have been 2 days to list and sell our furniture with you.  And, the reason that the potential buyers were looking at our pews more than others, is just as you said: PRICE!  So, once our sale is complete I will notify you, and then you can use our transaction to promote your ministry.

Again, God bless you richly today…

Thanks so much for your website. You can remove set 1607 from your listing. We received a check for the pews yesterday and the folks are coming to pick them up next week.  We had no idea that our old pews had value (we almost threw them away). But instead, the sale provided us with the funds to replace our old worn out carpet. Thank you!

 Also, I have sold about half of the furniture thus far.  It seems that the longer the pews and furniture are posted on the website the more inquiries I receive.  Your website has been a blessing.  I expect to have the balance of the furniture sold within the next few days.

 I just recently received what I believe to be a "scam" offer to buy some of the furniture, just as you warned me about upon posting on your website.  Thanks for that heads-up.

 May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

Church Secretary

We really thank you for your service.  We advertised our pews (#1297 in Kingsport, TN) and have received several inquiries about them. We had a call from Montana and the people asked the usual questions about the pews, but they also said that a vandal had burned their church and they had nothing left.  Their insurance was $120,000 but a contractor asked them almost $250,000 to rebuild the building.  They 

decided to take their insurance and use the labor of the members to rebuild.  We decided to give the pews to them.  They made the trip to Tennessee over the Labor Day holiday week to get the pews and returned that weekend.  The Lord has provided  them with pews and given us a true blessing of His grace and will.   We got to meet  another brother and sister in Christ and share a special time with them! So #1297 have been put to wonderful use on the other side of the country by our Heavenly Father and  are no longer available.

God's Blessings!

Hi Scott,
Just wanted to fill you in on the status of our pew sale.  We have sold 28 to someone in Florida - he came last Friday and we loaded an 18-wheeler with them.  Others have gone to other sources from a chiropractor for his office, to kitchens from PA to Virginia, and even to a seminary!  Your site has been a great help!  I believe we only have the following: one 17' pew and three 13' pews; we also have a pulpit that goes with it.  I think that didn't make it on the website with our first ad.  Would you mind putting an "Almost gone!" notice with our ad, or something else that lets people know there aren't many left?  If you could also add the pulpit, we are asking $200 for that.  I will try to get a picture of it sent to you today.    Thanks for doing this.  Your site is an excellent resource, and I will pass the word on!

This is the first time we have used this service, and we are VERY impressed with the site.  We got the information, and sent our request on Tuesday, July 6th; it was on the site within 48 hours, even though there was notice that they were closed on that week of July 4th.  We had our first call on Saturday, July 10th.  One week later, we have most of the 39 pews sold.  A church in Florida is coming up with a truck for 28 of them, and another group is coming for some on Saturday.  We have also broken the set up and a few individuals are buying some.  We have been truly amazed.  Pews actually sell!  We originally were trying to give them away, but couldn't, and God led us to this site.  We are very thankful for how God has allowed us to get these sold so that we can reinvest the money into our ministry.  Our donation back into their ministry is well worth it, and the results prove it.

Hope that helps!  I would suggest putting them on at a reasonable price
if you need to sell them quickly.

God bless you,
Pastor David E. Jacques,  Grace Baptist Church

Hi Bro. Scott,

This is Dr. Phyllis Parker with Living Above The Natural Ministries. I recently sent in my add to sell my pews for $175.00 each, and Pastor Hewitt of Ridge Grove Church called me on this past week, two days after my add posted, and I sold them to him for $130.00 for seven of them and gave him one for free, making eight of them going to Ridge Grove Church.  Thank you for being prompt in posting my add.  I am so grateful that I sowed that seed in your ministry.  I blessed both of you all and now I am expecting a supernatural harvest from God for his Word says give and it should be giving unto you, pressed down running over.    Thank you Scott so much for empowering my ministry.

Your Sister in Christ,
Phyllis

Set # 1217 - Oscoda Michigan

Thanks for helping us find buyers for all our pews.  You can now remove
the listing of set #1217.  Being in a remote area (Northern Michigan) put
us a bit out of reach for a lot of folks who inquired.  But today we
loaded up the last of the pews to a church a few hours away from us.
They were thrilled to get them - we were thrilled to get rid of them.
Again thanks for providing this great service to help the Kingdom grow
strong.

Hi Scott,

 The pews left tonight, headed to a new home in Southern Oregon. They went to a little church (60) that is moving into a larger building. We also sent them some chairs, a mail slot system and pulpit. Thanks again, we would never have got together without your help. I hope you find it as rewarding to help a little church grow as we have.

Hey Scott,
Happy to tell you that our pews sold about two weeks after we listed them with you.  I received requests for information about them within a day of listing them, and by the end of the week had had more than eight contacts! 
The coolest thing: not only were we able to upgrade all our furniture, but we were able to help out another church that had lost everything in a fire as well.  God is good! 
Please update our listing to indicate that all the pews have sold.

Hello,

     I listed three pulpit chairs last week and they sold and were picked up over the weekend. That was fast. How do I remove the listing or mark it sold.  I am still getting calls.

 Thanks,

Our pews for Light & Life Community Church (set 1164) are pending to be sold with a buyer.  If you could keep the ad but declare that they have been SOLD! instead of call now, that would be great because we are getting lots of calls about them.  You guys weren't kidding when you said that your website would get them sold fast.  Thanks a lot!

God Bless,-Alan Baertschi (on behalf of Rick Scovel, Worship Pastor LLCC)

Dear UsedPews.org representative:
Please remove the ad for our pews.  While not technically sold, so much serious interest has been generated by our ad that I think we will have the set officially sold in the very near future. To have the flow of fresh calls and e-mails halted be would be great.

Dear Rev. Scott:
       First of all we (Pastor D. L. Ward, Sr and Co-Pastor Jeanette Ward from Miracle Faith Tabernacle of Deliverance, Inc. of Speed, NC would like to thank you for all your help in finding us some pews and furniture for our Sanctuary. We did have many to reply to our request but God place one special friend in our path and he was a blessing to our church and us. We still are doing some renovation to the church and we are seeking help for office furniture and a hammer organ. Please see if there is any churches or people that would donate these items. If they can't donate then maybe someone can give the church a low price. Remember our church was in the flood and it is requiring a lot of renovation. The area we are in a lot of people are not able to give in offerings or tithes. We know that we don't depend on this, but we are seeking help in raising funds to support the church in renovations. Thank you

Pastor D. L. Ward, Sr. Virtuousholyj@aol.com

I just wanted to let you know that we sold the pews (set#1148)  I waited until they were picked up by the trucker so I knew they were really gone.  We had a couple interested parties who never called back so I wanted to be sure this time. Thank you for all your help.  As it turned out we could have sold three or four sets.  We got that many people 'definitely' wanting them after we had them sold.
Thanks again and God bless you and your wonderful ministry.

 Our status: While we have not received a final payment on the pews a furniture company in the area who makes regular trips to Florida has contacted us on behalf of the buyer to set up a date to pick up the pews.  We have scheduled things for the first week of December (when our new chairs are scheduled to arrive).  So I would say that it would be OK to change our status to "SOLD" on the website.  We are still getting calls, but I have a very long list of contacts to get back with if anything fell through.

 Thanks -

Set 1055

Hi Scott:

After sending you a note last evening regarding listing our pews as "sale pending," I had another call back from the church in IL that wants them if the first deal falls through.  They can be listed as "sold."  The first contact by both of these parties was Monday & Tuesday, so they actually sold in one or two days.

We thank you so much for this great service you provide to churches.  We had no idea the pews would sell so quickly.  The church purchasing them needs them right away so they will be picked up right after our morning service on Sunday.  We will be using folding chairs until our new seating arrives....a very small sacrifice on our part!

Thank you again!

In Christ,

Set # 1007 -   Townwest Church of Christ, Taylor TX  -   SOLD in 2  weeks

Hello again, Scott,

   Well, you won't believe this.  A lady from the Methodist church in Round Rock which is 18 miles from us called to ask about the pews after seeing our ad on your website.  (They only need three.)  While we were talking, she mentioned that they were also looking for "theater seats."  Hot dog!  They are going to buy most or possibly all of our theater seats.  Isn't that great?  However, the reason I am writing is to ask you to modify our ad on your website.  They are also going to purchase three of our pews, so we will only have 16 available for sale now.  Please adjust the price down to $1700.  to reflect the reduced number of pews.

   The ad is working splendidly.  We haven't sold all of the pews quite yet, but we are getting inquiries so we are happy.  I do believe that they will sell eventually.  Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Patrice Dempsey
