MANYATTA GROUPFeb 3 2010 this group of ladies returned with their studies completed and got a new Bible. There were about 20 Bibles given out on Wednesday. The ladies were very excited to get them.
When others saw this they too wanted the opportunity to get a Bible so about 28 others gave us 10 shillings and got the Bible study guide. We will be back to Manyatta on Feb 17 and see how many more will get new Bibles. We encouraged them to read them everyday and to bring them to our next teaching time. ( 10 shillings is about 15 cents in US dollars but it is a way for each of them to be invested in receiving their new Bible. )
For those of you who support us this is how your money is at work supplying Bibles for these ladies. We are paying about $5.35 for each Bible. This is the whole Bible in Swahili or English. Most of the ladies are Luo and we are not able to get the Luo Bible at a reasonable price from this supplier. Pray for that to become available so that those who only know their mother tongue can also get a Bible. The Luo are expensive to purchase for the number of Bibles needed.
Next week we should have several other groups with their new Bibles.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
I am so glad we can give them the Bibles. God is so Good!
