Bibles Put to Good Use


We like to have plenty of Bibles on hand. Usually we order a case of the large-print NIV Bibles, which are used in the Bible study group that meets every Wednesday at the church. Invariably someone asks for a Bible, and it’s so good to have some on hand and simply give them away as gifts. We are so thankful for the opportunity to get Bibles from LifeLight Ministries for a small donation. If the recipients want to help with the costs, we suggest that they put a donation in the offering sometime.
We gave a Bible to a Christian woman who was very sick. As she lay dying in the hospital, we watched her son pick up her well-marked Bible, where she found the comfort needed during her last days on earth. The Lord called her home in September. It is good to see her son bring his mother’s Bible with him now when he comes to church.
We have also given Bibles for birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or just as a gift to someone who needs one. They are much appreciated and put to good use.
