Here's what's new on the Cybersalt Site each day.
It's the British Columbia Day long weekend here at Cybersalt World Headquarters.
This week, Rev. James Snyder reflects upon and muses about what he can and can't do anymore. You can read, "I Never Thought I Could":

We're thankful for the initial results from the Be a Billionaire fund raiser. We have been able to help 2 persecuted families with this month's rent, food, and some other key expenses. Both of these families have escaped deadly persecution by fleeing to a country where they are not allowed to work and now actually face arrest for overstaying their vistor visas.

Thanks to all the new "billionaires" who donated to the "Be a Billionaire" fund raiser. You learn more and still donate to help persecuted Christians and receive worthless, now novelty Zimbabwean billion dollar bills in return at:

This weeks news is longer than I usually like it to be, but last Sunday I said that today I would reveal the secret of the 52.19 trillion tally and it requires a few more paragraphs than usual.. Here we go, lol, hang in there with me!
Cybersaltine, Mark R., contacted me a couple of weeks ago and offered me trillions of dollars in Zimbabwean currency to help Cybersalt's ministry to persecuted Christians. At first I kind of thought if he pulled my other leg it would play Jingle Bells, but after a bit of back and forth I learned some things and I saw the fun and novelty of his idea for this "Be a Billionaire" fundraiser.
What I learned was that in 2008 the inflation rate in Zimbabwe was 79,600,000,000 percent. Yes you read that correctly - 79.6 billion percent! In the midst of that economic environment the Zimbabwean government issued paper currency in denominations of billions and trillions. However, those soon became worthless and were abandoned. To this day Zimbabwe does not have a national currency. A curious thing happened though: people started collecting these crazy bills as collector and/or novelty items. And that is how I have come to have over 52 trillion worthless dollars sitting next to me as I type this.
So here is how this "Be a Billionaire" fundraiser works. In return for a donation that will go to help persecuted Christians around the world, you'll be sent an actual, general circulation, novelty Zimbabwean bill. What a great gift to get for someone who has everything - except billions! You can order multiple bills of different denominations if you like. So far I only have individual, non-sequential serial numbered bills set up in the store. In the next few days I'll also be adding some of the bills that do have sequential serials numbers and make up sets - or you can email me if you are looking for something a bit more novel like that. To see pictures of this funny money, head on over to the store at:
