Spread the Word Update

As of today we currently have 91 Bibles/New Testaments collected.

In addition to collecting Bibles, I have been purchasing Bibles that I find at a local thrift store and have them hand them out.  I haven't been as diligent in counting those Bibles as I should have been, but off the top of my head I think it's close to 50 Bibles that have been purchased and distributed through the thrift store.

For now, I will continue to collect Bibles as I know one of these days there will be a need for them...

Spread the Word Bible Outreach Update

Thanks to Savers I was able to snag quite a few Bibles for a buck or less! This brings the grand total to: 68! A couple more weeks and we'll be at the 100 mark!

This DOES NOT include the Bibles purchased at Chap for them to distribute- that total is 27 distributed. Another 8 were purchased today. In fact, I have currently bought out Chaps entire Bible and New Testament supply.

So God's got some restocking to do!

Spread the Word Update...

With thanks to Half Price Books, I was able to snag up 12 Bibles for a buck each!

No, it wasn't a special deal I was able to wrangle with them, there was a cart with other Christian books for a dollar.

There was no way I could pass that up.

Sooooo...that puts our Bible count to 53 total, we broke the 50 mark. Just need to do that 20 more times...easy!

Check out the STW page to see the new GRAND TOTAL!

Still a ways to go, but we're on our way!

STW Bible Count Update...

I wouldn't say we're close, but we are making progress.
Current Bible Count: 33

or

%.033 toward our goal

Spread the Word Update!

The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond. -- Phillips Brooks

I want to give a (very) belated THANK YOU to my folks for their more than helpful donation to Spread the Word.

We are currently up to 25 Bibles - not bad for not even being a month into the drive!

Thank you again!

P&L

Seek and ye shall find!

So on a "prompting" I stopped in an Arcs Value Village (thrift store) to see what they had for Bibles.

Quite a bit actually.

I was able to get 4 complete Bibles. (one of which is for kids)

I also picked up 5 New Testaments. (one is an Air Force one, from 1955. Another is a very old copy, but has no date)

I ALSO found a book called: The Day Christ Died by Jim Bishop (1957). It is a telling of that last day, starting from 6am - should be an interesting read.

So there we have it, the Bible drive is well on its way now!

Where did they go?

So, I was at the thrift store last night, figuring I would snatch up a few Bibles for Spread The Word.

Usually, you can find more than a handful of Bibles at the thrift store...but not last night. I was unable to procure one!

Perhaps with Easter closing in, there might be a run on them anyway - which is just as good in my opinion!

Well, at least I know I can still pick up a few at the dollar store...for just a dollar!

Outreaches to launch soon!

A few details need to be ironed out and clarified, but we feel confident that we will be able to launch (officially) two new outreaches.

Pieces and Prayers

Spread the Word

Pieces and Prayers is an outreach that provides lap quilts to folks in nursing homes, shelters, or anywhere a “warm fuzzy” is needed.

Currently, Pieces and Prayers is working on 100 lap quilts for the Lake Mills Care Center. If you would like to help, please contact us!

Spread the Word is a Bible recycling program. Our goal will be to collect previously “loved” Bibles and distribute them (free of charge) to various organization, ministries, etc. To help “Spread the Word.”

Again, a few details need to be figured out, but we are excited and hopeful for these outreaches.

If you have a program or outreach let us know!
No matter how “big” or “small” God loves them all.
