My name is Adrienne M. Dixon, President and Chief Executive Officer of T.UP.A.C. (Train up a Child) International, LLC. T.UP.A.C. is a new faith-based toy company that markets toys, dolls, action figures, figurines, games, and other collectors’ items that help introduce a fun way to teach children the importance of adopting spiritual principles early in life. Our products include heroes of the bible such as David, Daniel, Moses, Mary, Joseph, Queen Esther, Peter, etc. We also offer our new line of “Men/Women of the Cloth” action figures. This product is novel to the toy industry. The men of the cloth action figure depict real life spiritual leaders as superheroes in Christ and action figures for the Lord. The action figure has a voice recordable chip, whereas a minister’s voice is recorded to recite a scripture for a child to hear. T.UP.A.C. debuted its first action figure in December 2008 of a well-known member of the clergy in the South Jersey area, Bishop David G. Evans. He is pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, a 27,000 multicultural congregation of believers in Lindenwold, NJ and prelate to the Abundant Harvest Fellowship of Churches, an international fellowship with more than 175 churches in the United States, Africa, and India. In the rear of the action figure there is a button, when pressed, you will hear in Bishop Evan’s voice; “Faith acts as a thing is so, even when it’s not so, that it might be so.” No other company in the world is marketing our featured item. We have a patent pending that once approved, will allow us to exclude others from profiting from our company’s unique product. With this protection, we can keep this invention within the scope of God’s vision. In addition to helping children learn biblical scriptures and principles, this would be an excellent fundraiser for the churches, daycares, schoold, youth organizations etc. and a fun opportunity for the youth in your church to recognize the “Shepherd” God has given them.
