January 2022

Hello Everyone,

Here it is 2022 and we are still punching braille dots for Jesus Christ! A number of blind folks now have a copy of the Bible in braille who did not have a Bible at this time last year. We are very thankful for this and you should be as well because you helped with your prayers and yes, with your giving.

 

Covid Again...or is it still?

Just as some of the countries we ship to were beginning to open we are now seeing countries' borders closing to us again. Please pray! I cannot tell you how disheartening it is to tell someone who needs God's word in braille that we can't send a Bible to them because their border is closed to us because of Covid. 

One thing that the closed borders cannot stop is the Bible in electronic form. For several years now we have had the Bible in braille on our website for free download for people who have portable electronic braille reading devices. To date these braille files have been accessed 31,948 times! We plan to publish information on how to access these files with computers and smart phones for use with electronic braille reading devices to more blind people than ever before in 2022. The next question you are likely to ask is What about “hard copy” braille—the actual physical books? Will you continue to produce those, or only electronic braille? The answer is YES! We will continue to produce these braille volumes as always for those who don’t have or can’t use the electronic devices. Yes, it is a big job but we serve a BIG God! Please pray with us that we will become wiser in the ways of getting electronic braille and physical braille into the hands of those who are reaching for the Bible.

We need you now more than ever. Thank you for your prayers and please, please continue to pray.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am writing on behalf of Stephen who wishes to convey his profound gratitude for the Bible volumes which he received a few days ago in ... Nigeria. Thank you very much and may the good Lord continue to bless you abundantly.

Thank you

In Christ’s service for God’s glory,
