Many of you guys donated Bibles or gave money for NIV Study Bibles to be purchased. Monday we gave the pastors their new Bibles and they were so excited. They have been waiting a long time for them. They all have Bibles in Dinka, but they only have the New Testament. Now they can teach their congregations the whole story. When we handed out the Bibles, not all the pastors were there. There were four missing. Suzy asked if we should wait until they were all there and they all said no! They all wanted their Bible right away! I wish you guys could have seen their faces when they were handed their Bibles. Some cheered, some immediately began looking at it and others just held it to their chests. One pastor held it to his chest and closed his eyes. I knew he was thanking God for his new Bible. It was a special moment to be a part of. Thank you to all those who gave. Your gift was truly priceless.

New Bibles For The Pastors
