Each
year the South Haiti church conducts seminars for denominational
preachers who come to be filled. Many go home with a new Bible and
begin teaching truth. Most of their congregation are being baptized. All
need Bibles as members of the Kingdom of God.

"Can
you imagine not having a Bible?"
When ask who can say the
books of the Bible, only a couple teens will attempt the task. Visiting
"Pastors" never volunteer -- year after year! Why? Could it be that they
preach without a Bible of their own?
Since we have handed out
around
1,420 Bibles, this has all changed. Now, they can look up
scriptures and take home with them their own brand new Bible. And,
they are learning how to "Search the scriptures to see if these things are
so," as did the Bereans. It's a brand new opportunity! It's God's will!
What can we do
with so little funds? Well, we buy in Haiti the same Bible as the
Preacher's Training School uses to train young men to follow up the
seminar attendees who say that they want to "Teach The Truth That Will
Set them free". The new copy is a direct translation from the Hebrew and
Greek, making it free of denominational influence. And, it's available in
Haiti. The secretary makes a phone call and boxes of Bibles arrive in time
for the seminars. NO SHIPPING COST. And, a Bible cost only $12 USD for
a soft back and $24 for a longer lasting hard back.
Can you imagine that?
For $5000, we can
deliver 400 + copies every time a seminar is held. This opportunity needs
your support.
A really good part
is that most in the congregation now has a Bible of their own. How
difficult do you think it would be to "turn on" the youth when you say
that they can have their own Bible? Really easy! To a group of 80 youth,
only ONE had a Bible. And, it had not been read at all. How can one tell?
"If it has no markings inside, it is a Bible that has not been read.
"No longer! No
longer!
Ok! How would you
like to teach these eager youth to mark up their brand new Bibles?
They can now because they have BRAND NEW BIBLES. "Put your name inside the
cover!" GOOD IDEA!
Where are we -
looking forward to 2019 February Seminar?
In 2017, we found a HARD COVER
Bible at only $24 each, best for preachers who need a more durable
and longer life copy. The $12 soft cover is good for daily reading.

Bible fundraising, I can't figure out how many Bibles we will need in
2019. I can guarantee you thousands of Bibles will never be enough for
distribution because people are converted in Haiti every single day.
Only at the Delmas congregation where we usually baptize between 60
to 125 new members yearly ...
We need another
400 Bibles twice each year.
And, in the whole country, we have between 2,000 to 3,500
through evangelistic campaigns, seminars and preacher's retreat.
Bibles are purchased depending of funds that
we have. Let's say we'll need 300 hard cover Bibles for February because
they last longer, it will cost $7,200. If money raised could only
purchase the soft cover let's say 300 will cost $3,600 Bibles.
100 hard cover at $24 -- we need $2,400
100 soft cover Bibles at $12 -- we need $1,200.
Now, we expect 3 times this number --
300 each, Feb and July
Who will raise funds to share with these
New Christians of Haiti and the newly converted preachers?
$2400 ___?____
$1200 ___?____
$500 ____?____
$100 ____?____
$24 _____?____
Best money spent all
year!
We'd like to express our gratitude and
many thanks to those who have contributed to this need for Bibles.
