We may have so many Bibles around our house that we take owning a copy for granted. This simple thank you letter brings home the fact that possessing a copy of God's Word is a tremendous blessing.
Dear friends at
The gift for Bibles was received and I was able to purchase 31 Bibles in the Luganda language. After discussing it with the pastors we decided to distribute them as follows: Each pastor received one (there are 6 pastors), seven congregations received two each, and each preaching station is to receive one when one of the pastors visits them.
The week following the distribution, I asked the pastors how they had been received. The congregation at Kiboyo had only two Bibles for the entire congregation prior to the gift and so they were very excited to receive their two Bibles. They came up with a program for rotating the Bibles between the families from the church. Each of the other congregations had similar reports of gratitude and eagerness.
Most of the church members live off the land and do not have much cash flow, if any. Purchasing Bibles is a very difficult thing for them.
Thank you again for blessing the people here in this way.
