"Thank you, BLMF for all you do.

The greatest tool on the mission field, and nothing comes close, is the Word of God."

Dear Bible and Literature Missionary Foundation, There are not enough words to express my gratitude to you. Your involvement in our Croatian Bible project was more than a blessing. As you remember, you had 10,000 of our New Testaments with the Psalms printed and bound in beautiful hard back covers. They turned out beautifully and the people here can't believe they are free. I know you spent much tiome on this project and I'm truly grateful to you. The Bibles couldn't have been better. They turned out great! When the Bibles arrived, we were able to give all our people a copy and they were very excited! There is no greater joy than to see people you've won to the Lord begin to read the Bible. Faith truly does come by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!

When we started our project, we honestly thought that only our people would use these Bibles. We did not think that the other churches in the area would be interested in them. I'm pleased to say we were wrong. We have been contacted by a few churches in the area that have requested Bibles for their people. What a joy it was to distribute these Bibles to them. Our desire has always been to see the Croatian people with a reliable copy of the Word of God!

Thank you for all that you have done. You helped us to not only have a good copy of the Word of God, but a beautiful copy as well! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your ministry. I have shared your ministry with many people, and what a joy it is to tell them that Bible and Literature Missionary Foundation is a ministry and not a business! Again, thank you, thank you!

To The Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation, We, here in Southwestern Uganda, received 10,000 whole Bibles from Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation, and have since been busy distributing these Bibles to those we minister to on a daily basis.

We began by
distributing 300 Bibles to a local technical school where we weekly teach the Bible. These students come from all over Uganda, and some come from Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. The students were thrilled, applauding and smiling as they received their own copy of God's word.

We then did the same, with the same reaction, at three local High Schools where we weekly teach the word of God. Now one of these schools was a private Muslim school. Yes, we distributed over 150 Bibles at a Muslim school, and gave approximately 50 Bibles to their library. We also had a
debate at this Muslim school, where over 200 people were present. The Muslim Sheiks were to discuss why they believe the Qur'an is the word of God (Allah) and I discussed why I believe that the Bible is the word of God. The students not only saw the supernatural nature of the Bible, but they saw that we, Christians, believe enough in God's word to get it into the hands of people at great expense to ourselves. From the hundreds of students who have received Bibles and from me, their teacher, may we thank you who bore the expense.

We have also distributed over 300 Bibles to the Ugandan Army, where we were able to minister on a weekly basis. These men and women thrilled at receiving a copy of God's word, and thanked us profusely.

Bibles are not just great tools, for the word of God is essential to the conversion of the spirit, from being dead to being eternally alive. We have seen hundreds of men, women, boys and girls receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We preach God's word, and we use Bibles as a tool to gain inroads throughout Uganda. How precious the gift of God's word.

We have distributed Bibles to churches, villages, and towns throughout Uganda. Many churches have only a
few "Bibles", which almost always are "Good News for Modern Man". We are able to give them Bibles for their entire congregation, replacing a bad translation with the King James Bible. Now, whether in church or schools, people are
able to look on as the pastor/teacher reads God's word. Often the students are the ones who read aloud God's word. While a process, this begins the transformation of them from blind sheep to sheep with wisdom and understanding.
