Hello Everyone,

            For this year-end newsletter I want to share a message with you that I received some time ago from a blind man in Russia that we were able to help in the late 1980s.  We just didn’t know at the time what ministry God would accomplish through this man.  In his words:

 

Keith,

You’ve been a blessing to many people, and the Lord has been using you in a mighty way.

I can share this with you today as a personal testimony, and as a testimony of God’s work through you and your ministry.

In 1988, you were the first person to respond, when I placed a notice in the Ziegler magazine, asking for the KJV Bible in Braille. I was a very young believer at that time, seeking to read and study the Word of God.

In 1990, you were the first person I called, from a hotel room, on my first trip to the US. It was a collect call, but you took it gladly, and you were a great encouragement.

In 1993-97, you were a great support to my family as myself, as we went through our studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Now, fast-forward to 2022. At this crazy time, we are completing the Russian series of Through the Bible. This is a 5-year series of daily broadcast, taking the listeners through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, taking the whole Word to the whole world. The series was originally developed and taught by Dr. J. Vernon McGee, back in the 70s. I now have the pleasure of hosting this series in Russian, as well as answering listener questions live on the air.

And Keith, I am sure this is just one of many examples of how God has been working through your faithfulness. In this case, one Braille Bible has led to a ministry that is affecting thousands of people. Lives are being changed; people are getting saved; Christians are hearing the Word of God and growing in the Lord.  And all of that – because back in 1988 you responded to just one ad in a Braille magazine and shipped a nicely embossed Braille Bible all the way to Russia.

Happy birthday, dear brother, amazing man of God!

 

 In His grip, Oleg 

 

Merry Christmas from the Bibles for the Blind family to you and yours.

 

In Christ’s service for God’s glory,
