First Baptist Lake Butler Donates Bibles

My home church, First Baptist of Lake Butler, Florida, recently collected an offering for a Bible distribution in Ghana, West Africa.  JCEA Ghana Ministry Coordinator Evangelist Raphael Adjei Kingbi is now serving in the Northern Region of the West Africa nation and has found a great need for Bibles in the villages he is serving.  FBC Lake Butler collected over $1100 during morning worship for the purchase of the Bibles.

Evangelist Ralph reports the Bibles were purchased on Friday and distribution will begin within two weeks.  He was able to purchase approximately 200 bibles with the funds.  A majority of the bibles, 140, are in the Good News Version, an English translation.  English is the official language in Ghana, but many others are also spoken.  Sixty of the bibles are in a language known as Dagoba, which is spoken by many in Ralph's area of ministry.

Evangelist Ralph says this donation will be a great help in sharing the Gospel in this very rural area of Ghana.

I would like to thank my pastor, Jason Johns, and my church family for being sensitive to the needs that exist in a country that is far from the streets of Lake Butler.  May God richly bless you for your support.  I use the scripture that Evangelist Ralph has often quoted to me:

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”    Luke 6:38 (NKJV)
