PHILIPPINES "Thank God for supplying some of our needs through your foundation. Your English Bibles arrived at a time when we were in dying need of some Bibles for some new convert students."

UKRAINE "The above church once received tracts from your ministry for witnessing and it was very effective...so we are pleading on you...to help us with the tracts as much as the ministry can afford for our evangelism work." GHANA "In the Muslim areas in which we work, the Muslim hierarchy had organized an army of Muslims with an order to bring all Christian converts back into the fold of Mohammedism. This has resulted in severe persecution for many of the converts, so severe that their lives were threatened and their Bibles were burnt. Some were badly beaten and forced to leave their homes after all their personal possessions were confiscated because of the dynamic confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of the whole world before the Muslim teachers and leaders. Beloved Jerry Kingery, you have the Bibles which millions crave. You have the word which (the) Saviour gave, You have the truth which alone can save. Our solemn need now is to provide these dear converts, whose Bibles were burnt and personal belonging confiscated, with some boxes of Holy Bibles." NIGERIA "I am a boy of 26 years old and was a pagan. But I have now seen the love and word of God, so I have decided to follow Him with all my life and surrender my life to Him...I have now stopped practicing bad behaviours and now I attend church.

GHANA "Thank you very much for the HOLY BIBLE. God will bless you and replace it for you where ever you took it from. Thanks once again, you are very kind."

God's reward await you as you will continue in this work." NIGERIA "Please have mercy on me and send me one Holy Bible." GHANA "Thanks for the Bible Foundation Ministry that the Lord has entrusted into your leadership. Thanks for the vision you have at least to give used Bibles to those believers who have no Bibles. Keep on! We are supporting you by our daily prayers...Therefore as I have already mentioned in my first letter, we are displaced and most of us are refugees here in Uganda. We have lost almost all the necessary materials for our personal use and the Lord's work, due to the civil war in the Sudan. There is GREAT NEED of Bibles among the displaced people in the camps. Kindly we beg more used Bibles. People very much like the Word of God (Bibles)." UGANDA "Thank you for the five (5) Holy Bibles that

inaccessible villages in rural communities. Five people
