NEVER TOO EARLY for Christmas Bibles Dear Friend of the Press, I know what you're thinking - "It's too early to talk about Christmas."  Normally, I would completely agree.  But for us here at Foursquare Missions Press, this year Christmas needs to come early. Why?  I'm glad you asked. One of the most expensive, yet most needed, items for the mission field are Children's Bibles, especially ones with illustrations.  Last year, working with Ted Olbrich in Cambodia, we raised funds for 5,000 illustrated Bibles in Khmer.  These Bibles were perfect for children and adults. (P.S. I'm sure they need more.) This Christmas, I'm asking everyone to consider this:  When you Christmas shop this year, would you consider buying a Children's Bible for the children in Africa?  Or, if you buy a new Bible for your children or grandchildren, would you send us their used Bibles?  Either way, they will be a huge blessing, and most likely the very first Bible ever owned by an African child. (If the response from the U.S. Foursquare family is good, some Bibles may be sent to other developing English-speaking nations.) And Pastors, maybe you would consider collecting Children's Bibles among the people of your church? We'll be sending out a letter and poster, plus there is an excellent Christmas DVD (featuring Ted Olbrich and FMP) available for you, both on disc and website (click here to view). Every child deserves a Bible! Merry Christmas!
