Good Works Project
Bibles For Developing Areas
In July we started an ongoing project to send Bibles to our developing and disadvantaged areas that have need of them. The response has been overwhelming! We received many used Bibles in excellent condition, several cases of brand new Bibles as well monetary donations for the purchase of Bibles and to help cover shipping costs. It is through these generous donations from our brethren and congregations that we have been able to make several shipments.
The first shipment of 50 bibles was sent out in July, shortly after the project was started. That first shipment went to Zambia; once that first shipment was distributed the leaders there were able to determine what needs remained. Since that first shipment we sent another 70 Bibles to Zambia in September, and another 40 since October. Derrick Pringle, an elder in Mufulira, Zambia, says that the Bibles are very much appreciated and that the members proudly carry their new Bibles with them.
