Needed: theological books and laptops
As a result of a recent mission trip to Peru, we have received a request for SPANISH theological books for a new seminary being built near Quillabamba, Peru. The books needed must be in Spanish and should be appropriate for entry-level theological students covering topics of: theology, Biblical commentary, church history, ethics, worship, devotion, prayer or other topics.
The seminary also needs used laptop computers that are still serviceable for use by the seminary students in Quillabamba. Laptops should have only the operating system installed - no programs, etc. Contact Mike Cole if you have books or a laptop to donate. |
