When
I was at the African Renewal Leaders Conference last week, I was
shocked to learn that many of the pastors and leaders who
attended the conference didn't have a Bible! I can't imagine
trying to pastor and teach without a Bible. These pastors rely on
listening to American televangelists and then
communicating these messages to their flock. But they have no
Bible of their own to nourish their souls and to speak with
authority from God's Holy Word.
I
purchased 60 Bibles for pastors during the conference, knowing
that you wouldn't want me to let this opportunity pass
without responding. And many of you have helped with this
project. What a privilege to put Bibles into the hands of pastors
and leaders, who can now teach from the authoratative Word of
God, rather than someone else's interpretation. Praise the Lord!
