I wonder if there is anyone who could advise me please.

I run a small Christian charity and we have been working with a DM agency for a number of years now. However the costs are such that we can no longer afford the luxury of having an agency and I am going to have to do the work of acquiring new donors, myself, although I would be the first to admit that I have very little skill in this area.

Can anybody recommend an honest and reliable list broker who deals in the christian/religious sector? I have tried using Google to find a broker, but without success.

The second question I have is regards to testing a mailing. Can anybody tell me what would be a good number to mail in order to carry out a useful test - would it be 500 or 1000 or what.

Any advice on either or both of the above questions would be most welcome, and appreciated.

Thank you
Jay
