Bibles For Soldiers
we have received $2,192.74 to-date towards the purchase of Bibles to be sent to soldiers serving in Iraq and other countries. There are Bibles in all Adult Sunday School Classes for you to sign today. These Bibles will be picked up tomorrow and returned to LifeWay for our first shipment out to our soldiers at no cost to us. Please continue to pray that these Bibles will be placed in the hands of soldiers that will read God’s Word and let it penetrate their hearts. Our prayer is that many will desire a personal relationship and will experience salvation. We have several hundred more Bibles on order and will place them in Sunday School classes when they arrive.
