The Bible is a Treasure to the Persecuted

Today I was listening to the radio and the show I was looking forward to hearing was preempted and in it's place was a fundraising program for another ministry that deals with the persecuted church - The Bible League.  Since it had to do with the persecuted church I listened to the full program and heard some very cool stories.

One testimony they shared was about a pastor in Nigeria who started singing once he got a bible in his hands.  See, unlike in America where there are literally millions of bibles, Christians in Nigeria and other nations actually PRAY to receive a bible!  So this pastor got his bible and he started singing about it being a treasure!

Isn't that cool!  I think so.

They also talked about how pastors have to share bibles in order to teach their congregations and also how sometimes as a result of not having a complete bible sometime the understanding of Scripture is wrong.

All I can say is that after listening to that show I totally felt guilty for not valuing the multiple bibles that I own.  The bible and it's eternal saving message is Life and I want to challenge you to take the time to read the bible, study it, and then donate money to ministries you trust to dispense it to those who really really want one.
