requesting for bibles

God has given His church a three - fold work to do.

1. Evangelism – preaching the gospel
2. Edification – teaching and building up the saved
3. Benevolence – helping the needy as opportunity presents itself

we are trying our best to do the first TWO THINGS. And the THIRD one with the help of kind hearted personalities like you. I praise God He is wonderfully working through people to implement His will. The Gospel Advancement Alliance of India distributes the Holy Bibles to the poorest people, who are unable to afford a single copy of the Bible, for their personal or family use.

The daily income of a poorest person in the rural & tribal India is a maximum of 40 to 50 rupees (about One US Dollar) which he earn for his labour work. He has to meet the needs of his entire family with the smallest income (daily wage), which is not sufficient to provide the needed food even to his little children also. In this position, it is very difficult task for a poorest rural & tribal person to purchase a copy of the Bible in his own dialect. To meet this need, the GAAI have started this Free Bible Distribution Programme, to provide the Holy Bibles to the poor believers in the remote areas. Many villagers, now, have their own Bibles in their houses (mud-huts). In some villages, the villagers gather together to hear the Bible, while one person read out aloud for all of them. The reason is, that no other person in the village do have the Bible, and also most of the villagers are illiterates and can not read or write. So, they hear the Bible while one person read it out for them, in the evenings.

Hence, we are providing the Holy Bibles to the poorest needy, free of Charge. We have many incidents when the people wept aloud when they receive the Bible from us. We also can see the true value & honor of the Bible as many villagers, dare not even to touch the Bible with dirty hands, as they treat it as the image of God.

The Indian Bible Literature and the Bible Promoters of India have provided the Telugu Holy Bibles to us at subsidized cost. We distributed more than 800 Holy Bibles during the past 15 months. Out of these, 500 Bibles were sponsored by the Church of Christ Ministries. The rest of the Bibles were collected from various individuals by the local churches.

Please pray and help us, as we are in need of many Holy Bibles, for the distribution among the poor. At present, we distributed Telugu Bibles in many interior villages. We have many requests for the Bibles in Telugu language. Please donate a Bible to one poor family.

To be frank, there are hundreds of villages are in the great need of the Bibles. It is sad to say that even some village pastors and evangelists also do not have a good Bible for their personal or ministerial use.

Your loving brother in Christ
