One important aspect of our ministry is to bring badly-needed Bibles and Bible study aids to missionaries and national pastors and lay-leaders. I am frequently asked about the impact of this ministry of G.C.I.

In Nigeria, the Nira exchanges at about 100 to the U.S. dollar. This means that the average pastor makes the equivalent of $250.00 per month. What this also means is that the Pastor’s Library, as listed below, would cost more than a month’s salary. That is if the books could be found, which, tragically, they cannot. As a result, in my mission trips I find pastors and staff with tattered and torn Bibles, many donated used, with their former owner’s names on the cover and the dedication page. I have seen national pastors using secondhand Precious Moments Children’s Bibles. During a recent trip to Nigeria, the pastor rose to read from the Word. He carefully removed the rubber band from his secondhand Bible, carefully lifted the sections until he came to the passage. After reading, he carefully reassembled the Bible and replaced the rubber band. It was then that I pledged to the Lord that I would make it my goal to supply these faithful ministers with the basic biblical tools they need.

Two years later, this same pastor wept as he received his first leather Bible as part of his Pastor’s Library. A senior staff member shouted with joy as he received his NIV Concordance on the two-year anniversary of his daily prayers for one. This year I met a senior executive of the Bank of Nigeria. Two years ago, he was unwilling to consider the claims of Christ. He felt all Christians were poor. When offered a Bible by the above-named staff and an opportunity to study “rich people in the Bible,” he accepted the invitation. He met with the staff weekly for six months and received Christ when they came to the story of Zachias. This Bible was provided by supporters of this ministry. This year, in a closed Islamic country, I worked feverishly, deep into the night, to help believers move a clandestine Christian printing operation from one safe house to another. I was told that the materials brought in, made possible by supporters such as you, were no less than a miracle from God . The wives of these underground missionaries wept openly as they received their Family Discipleship Libraries. Again, this was made possible by the generosity of our supporters.

This past year, we were able to take Libraries to as varied locations as India, Cameroon, Nigeria and an unnamed Islamic country. This was made possible by laymen and women as well as churches and Sunday School classes, who supported this ministry. 100% of all funds goes towards the purchase and provision of these Libraries. They are hand-delivered to the pastors, ministers and ministries.

Would you please pray about joining in this exciting ministry? You can take part in a miracle that will cause praise, thanksgiving and te[pic][?] |
