Bibles Unbound Banned in Egypt

Have you heard about what has happened recentlly concerning the bible being sent to Egypt through The Voice of the Martyrs Bibles Unbound program? Well, if not, let me tell you.

I am a very happy participant in this program every month and one of the places I wanted to send bibles was Egypt. Well, the other day I got an email from VOM talking about how the bible has been "bound" out of Egypt.

Here's what the email said:

It is always hard for me to understand how a book so vital to the health and wellbeing of one country can be banned in another. Of course, the book I am talking about is the Bible.

Recently, a high-ranking Egyptian postal official decided New Testaments mailed into Egypt would be a destabilizing force in their country. The Book our country was founded on, which has helped to shape and build this great nation, will not be allowed to be mailed into Egypt, at least for now.

The mailing company which helped us deliver the New Testaments into Egypt has been extremely helpful. However, since we can no longer mail into Egypt using the same process, we are researching other methods of mailing into Egypt. When one is in place, we will open the Egypt operations for Bible mailing once again. In the interim, please feel free to pick another operation and continue sending God’s amazing Word into one of these needy countries.

Join me in praying that the Good Book will be allowed to enter once again into the nation of Egypt. Pray also for those who have received their copies already because they are treasures and we want them protected.
