 Ever lost your Bible? Not just any Bible, but that childhood Bible that you've marked up, memorized and have special memories of?
Before leaving for the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Foursquare Missionary Carina Greer, a wife and mother of 2 young children, lost such a Bible.
A crate of Gospel materials from Foursquare Missions Press recently made the long journey to PNG. Upon arrival, the Greers, and local leaders, eagerly unpacked the boxes. Even the wood from the crate was put to good use. Leaders rejoiced over all the resources that would bless students, pastors and children.
Among the hundreds of used doctrinal books and Bibles, Carina would find a wonderful surprise.
"I opened the cover thinking, This can't be! And, sure enough, my mother's handwriting was inside...I've had this Bible since I was 5."
Carina went on to share an insight we can all be reminded of:
"When it hit me that this was my Bible, I couldn't stop laughing. I kept thinking, Small world, big God. The Bible is now safely with its original owner (me) and I keep it as a reminder that I could go to the ends of the world and God's Word will always stay with me."
We ship thousands of used Bibles and books, donated from generous people, all around the globe. We constantly pray that the Lord will get each Bible and book into the right hands. Even if it is the hands of the original owner!
Be blessed!
