BIBLES

We are on a journey through this life with trail ending in one of two places –Heaven or Hell. God has provided a guide to direct us to Heaven if we faithfully follow it. This guide is the Bible.

For many, many years, We have been praying, trusting and believing God to provide Bibles for the children attending JMCM programs so that each one of them could get a Bible to read, meditate on it day and night, and learn about showing hospitality, trusting God for their future and prayer in their daily walk with Jesus Christ and God the father.

God has answered our prayers for Bibles!

Jennifer Kesterson and Lary her husband from Wenatchee Washington DC sent $50 and later sent again another $50 towards purchasing Bibles.

As a few days passed by, Jeff and Linda Lumsden from Columbine Road –Macungie –Pennsylvania –USA emailed on Friday, April 30, 2010 and I quote, “Our Sunday school class collected $438 for bibles and we have just sent”. This was good new indeed. God has been so good and is at work in His ministry-Jesus and Me Children’s ministries. What an amazing God we serve!

When we look at the land, the bibles, the motor cycle, this website, we praise and glorify His name because all the glory and honor must be given to Him alone for He shares it with no one.

Circumstances can never dictate on us, even if things seems to be making no sense, God is present and the bibles tells us to glorify him in all situations.

We had anticipated getting 32 bibles for 32 children but God’s ways are not ours; He provided more exceedingly according to His will, plan and purposes.

We put the $50 and $50 from Jennifer Kesterson and Lary, and the $438 from Jeff and Linda Lumsden and their Sunday School class - $538 altogether.  We went straight to shop for Bibles at Uganda Bible society –BIBLE HOUSE on Bombo Rd near Wandegeya-Kampala.  We knew that at Bible house, we would get more Bibles than in a mere book shop that sells Bibles.

At Bible house, we were advised not to get only adult Bibles as we had planned for children and were told that when done that way, we would deprive children because they generally learn with pictures and Bible stories.

We bought 20 of The lions Children’s Bibles, 30 Good News Bibles [GNB], 30 New International Version Bibles [NIV] and 3 Toddlers Bible story books. Altogether, we bought 83 Bibles.

Excitement gripped the children as they received the Bibles. It was really a beautiful scene. Bibles were given according to the children’s levels. Those who were not present will be given on a later date. 

We praise and thank God for all His people   who have responded to walk in obedience according to God’s call and support JMCM in different ways.

May God’s richest blessings rest upon your lives as we serve Him together from different countries.
