The Word of God Among All Nations

The Quarterly Record ends with a section called 'The Word of God Among All Nations'. It is a collection of letter received from grantees essentially as received. The Lord is using His Word to the glory of His Name and the furtherance of His Kingdom as the Scriptures are distributed among the nations of the world. The following three letters are taken from Quarterly Record 641; more can be read there. 

From a prison chaplain in England

Thanks so much for your very kind donation of all the items you sent us at the prison. I have to say I felt a bit like the child in the sweet shop who was told he could have whatever he wanted to. There are things in boxes you sent that have already gone out to the guys (bookmarks, Daily Light, Bible Journeys, Bibles) and I have already had other guys asking, where can I get one from?

In a place where people are used to being told no and you can’t have that or we don’t have the funds for that, it was so nice for a change to be able to say yes you can have that and that there are people out there who do care about you and want you to have a chance to read a Bible, or yes you can have a nice bookmark and not just a piece of toilet roll to mark the page in the book you are reading.

This was such a blessing for me yesterday to be able to go and give these things out and I just want to say a massive thank you for enabling me to do this.

From Mozambique

I left for Mozambique for another long trip that took us two days driving along the bumpy road full of potholes. In Mozambique we met many leaders. We conducted a training for two days. We distributed Bibles and books. Many people speak Sena, Ndau (Shona), Portuguese and simple Chichewa in this part of Mozambique.

I left again for Mozambique for the second time. We distributed Bibles and books. We used this opportunity to share tracts to our fellow passengers in the open lorry. We met many pastors in Caia. They have never gone to any theological training before. They have never heard about a library or book shop in their lives. Majority speak Sena, Portuguese and Chichewa in this part of Mozambique.

We had to cross the Zambezi River leaving the car on the side of the river as there’s no bridge for cars. There’s only a railway bridge and a passage for pedestrians. This is normal in Africa as many areas are not yet well developed. We had to finish our journeys by motorbikes since the roads are too small for a car in some places.

From the USA

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. About three years ago you sent me a pocket sized KJV Bible. Let me say that is the most used Bible I have ever owned. Not only does it fit nicely in my pocket to carry to chapel services, but if it happens to rain I can stuff it under my arm to keep it dry. It is also perfect for in depth studies when I am going through my concordance either to prepare a message to share with others or just to get a better understanding of Bible.
