John Noel 616-262-6081  As I and other distribution volunteers are out on the road distributing Bibles and ministry materials to truck stops and other locations that we have racks in, we are witnessing the hunger for God's Word, by seeing empty racks more & more frequently. Here lies the heart of this mission: The individual stories waiting to unfold. We may never know all the names, faces, or circumstances, but we trust in the power of God's Word to resonate in each unique soul. Consider Maria, a single mother struggling to make ends meet, who stumbles upon a free Bible at a local resource center. Discouraged and burdened by life's challenges, she opens the Bible and begins to read. The words of comfort, hope, and unconditional love begin to penetrate her heart, replacing despair with a newfound sense of purpose. She finds solace in the Psalms, strength in the Gospels, and connection to something greater than herself. Through that bible, Maria finds Christ and embarks on a journey of faith, transforming not only her own life but also the lives of her children.   Or imagine David, a young man lost in addiction and searching for meaning in a world that seems to offer none. He picks up a Bible from a rack at a truck stop, drawn to it by an inexplicable pull. Skeptical at first, he begins to read stories of redemption, of forgiveness, and of second chances. He sees parallels with his own life and starts to believe that maybe, just maybe, he too can be saved. Through the scriptures, David discovers the power of repentance, the grace of God, and the path to recovery. He finds freedom from his addiction and dedicates his life to helping others find liberation. These are just glimpses of the potential stories that lie within each Bible we distribute. These aren't just books; they are lifelines thrown to those drowning in despair. They are beacons of light shining in the darkness. They are seeds of faith planted in fertile ground. We are not simply handing out Bibles; we are offering a relationship - a relationship with the living God. We are sharing the good news of salvation, the promise of eternal life, and the unwavering love of Jesus Christ. Your contribution is not just a donation; it is an investment in eternity. It is a participation in God's divine plan. It is a participation in transforming lives and building His Kingdom.  As we approach our 2025 deadline of $63,914.04, the urgency of our mission grows stronger. So, currently, we have raised $51,000.00 toward our goal, this leaves a balance of roughly $13,000.00. The people who do not know Jesus are waiting. The seeds are ready to be sown. Will you join us in this vital work? Will you help us bridge the gap and meet the remaining needs? Imagine the day when you stand before the Lord and hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Imagine the joy of meeting the individuals whose lives were touched by the Bibles you helped distribute. Imagine the eternal impact of your generosity. Let us work together to sow seeds of faith and witness the harvest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Let us strive to hear those words of gratitude one day, “Thank you for sending the Word that changed my life.” Let us be faithful stewards of God's blessings and leave a legacy that will endure for eternity.
