One week away! Let the countdown begin!

In one week and one day we will be on our way to our favorite place in the world - the slums of S. Asia!

I cannot wait, I am so nervous and excited and anticipating all the GREAT and GLORIOUS things our Father has instore for this trip!

I wanted to let you all know that a new "project" has been laid on my heart this week - G0d has once again reminded me of the amazing gift of His Word, its purposes and astounding worth, its blessing and its power by the Spirit to let us hear DIRECTLY from Him who created us! With this encouraging reminder, He also has laid it on my heart how important it is to enable others to have this precious gift and it struck me that I didn't even know where one would go to purchase a B!ble where we are going.

This was kind of surprising as I know where we will go to change money, to eat, to shop, to buy cell phones and data cards . . . but no idea where to buy a B!ble. That's not good at all! So I asked my dear brother and he said he would purchase them from the B!ble society there - wow, no walmart? No Family Christian Store? No LifeWay?!! No, where we are going it takes effort to get a B!ble, they cost more than most can afford and so those who have them, treasure them.

The affording part is pretty astounding. I know people who make pennies a day, and the cost of a B!ble in their own language, 200-300r is simply an astounding amount. That 200-300r is $4-$6 here. Wow.

So I'm opening the call, if anyone would desire to make a gift strictly for the use of purchasing B!bles in these people's native tongues for about $5/B!ble I will put aside the money, we will purchase the Good Books once arriving and then look for who G0d has prepared for us to share the Message! Having these B!bles in the native languages would be such a huge help to us as well since if we do not have an interpretor with us and G0d lays on our heart to speak to someone the Good News we have one more tool, and that tool being the very Word of G0d Himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please pray about this opportunity, you can donate via the paypal link on this page - so far we have already received donations for 7 B!bles! PTL!

We are always appreciative of gifts towards the overall trip as well, please leave a comment or email me if you make a donation that is not reserved for the B!ble project, otherwise we will be putting all remain donations towards that goal.

Love and Peace through Him!
-Sarah
