An uncle of ours recently started a ministry called BibleDonate.org. It's a place where believers around the world can request a free copy of the Bible to be sent to them through the mail. The requests come from absolutely everywhere around the world (mostly, where Bibles are next to impossible to obtain).

When the website went up, our uncle was overwhelmed by the number of requests that poured in each day. Through word of mouth, he has been enlisting the help of families and local churches to fulfill these requests. Bibles typically are donated by Christian families who have an extra copy laying around their home or are bought and donated.

This request came in this morning by a group of new believers in Ghana. The words are misspelled, but the message comes through clear:

Dear sir,
Greetings of peace, love and joy be with you and your ministry in the name of our risen lord and savior Jesus Christ.
We are writing this letter jointly to testify that the lord is good to us Because He has done a new thing in our lives by saving our souls.We are formerly disbeliver's but when the lord Jesus christ transformed our lives from darkness to light,as a result of listening to bible programes on the radio and Tv stations and we realized we were on the wrong way ,that Jesus is the way, the truth and the live. He is the only way to salvation. We thank God, Because our lives are now no longer the same any more. As new converts, please help as to grow by providing us copies of the complet Bibles to our new church. which is leaded by (name removed).

We are praying for your ministry for God of Heaven to continue to mightily bless you in all your endeavors ... we hope any amount that you will send to us will be a great thing to you when the holy king returns.the bible also says that blessed are the mercyful and for they shall obtain mercy so we pray that the lord will have mercy on you for the mercy you will show us amen.

We are yours in christ thank you Hopping to hear from you soon. GHANA.

Our family wants to send the Bibles that these believers requested and thought others of you might be interested, too. If you're interested, let us know and we'll forward you one of the requests. It's a great thing to do as a family.

Also, if you have a minute, click over to the BibleDonate.org and read some of the requests that have come in. It's amazing how many believers around the world don't have access to a Bible. Let's change that!
