Excited about...

Thanks a million for all your assistance.  Jewel is a wonderful program. I've been treasurer for the Burr Ridge Church for 10 years and have had Jewel for the last 3.  The difference is like night and day!  Keep up the good work.

I am the treasurer of the ______  SDA church here in Washington.

I started using Jewel in 2004 and as I told you at that time I was thrilled that someone had finally developed a worthwhile application for church treasurers.  Prior to that time I was using an application that I wrote myself (I am a software developer).  I said at that time that Jewel had many of the features I had incorporated into my own software and several great new ideas I hadn't considered. Plus it was something that I could pass along to another treasurer when it comes time for someone else to have this job.

Now, 2-3 years later I can say that I am still very happy with the software and looking forward to the upgrade.  I know this can't be a huge money-making business so you have to be driven by more than money. I greatly appreciate the time that has been taken not only to initially develop this application but to keep it growing as well.  Thank you for your efforts!

After 10 years of using _______ program, and now 2 months of using Jewel, I must admit that Jewel has made my life easier.

The Jewel Church Accounting System has saved my sanity!
  I have been the treasurer of my church for about 10 years and have used the Jewel program for the last three years.  This is such a huge improvement over the DOS program I used before.  Also, the support has been outstanding.  Thank you and keep up the good work.

I wish to order the Jewel 4.0 upgrade.

I love the new Jewel program! You may not think this is a big deal, but the ability to select different printers is fantastic. The new pictures are lovely, and the new larger size of the program windows is very helpful. I am looking forward to being able to electronically transfer our funds to the Conference without having to write a check.

What a joy all this is. Thank you so much.

I would like to tell you how much I love this program.
It has made being a church treasurer more fun than work. It allows me to do my treasury work in an absolute minimum of time.

I am helping my fellow treasurers get started and they are happy with the convenience and ease of usage of Jewel. Again, thank you and all who have made this wonderful and easy to use program available.

Thanks for the program "Jewel."
It is a lot easier to use than "_______." You said that you have free demos that you will send out. I would like to share this program with four other churches here in Arkansas. Would you send me four demos to let them see how good "Jewel" is? Thanks.

Your program has been such
a great improvement over the DOS program that we were using, thereby making the treasury work so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you.

I talked to Elder Vern Vonheeder at the Northern California Conference on Thursday. He's the head auditor at the conference and is very excited about your program. I prayed and asked the Lord for His help -- It's amazing how He has answered my prayers.
God Bless you in your ministry.

I've watched Jewel evolve
from the beginning and it's really great. I can now transfer my file to the conference in just a few minutes. We've finally arrived in the 21st Century!!

Subject: Recommendation letter
For what its worth, I'm passing along a letter that I've enclosed with my 2001 audit records... But I wanted you to have a copy in case it is of any use as you market Jewel more broadly.

Thanks for the support,
and I'm looking forward to checking out the new version!
Regards,

To: Texas Conference Auditors

In June of 2001 I experienced a severe computer crash that wiped out three hard drives, including my backup hard drive, which destroyed my 2001 "_____" data and backups. After building a new computer, I installed Jewel church accounting software instead of "_____", since I had been very frustrated with the obscure and obsolete nature of that product. Though my experience with Jewel has not been entirely bug free, I've found it to be a much user friendlier product which enables me to get my reports faster and therefore on time (you may or may not have noticed!), and I've received responsive and friendly support from the Jewel staff. I highly recommend this product for adoption by the Texas Conference for all its churches, especially the smaller ones, and I believe you auditors would appreciate the ability to work online with churches and receive files via the software's ftp link.

Anyway, the enclosed records are comprised of hardcopy printouts from Jewel, as well as a software disk that contains our records should you have a current version of Jewel available (or wish to obtain one from Reggie Thomas (Jewel, 5348 Old Hickory Lane, Fruitland Park, FL 34731.)
