The (Above) Picture is of a precious couple in the Kerio
Valley who belonged to a semi-nomadic tribe called the Pokots. Their name
is Baba Loboduk and Mama Loboduk. This is the family name I was given as
their honorary American-Pokot Son and how I am known even today in Kenya.
Mama Loboduk died a few monthes ago and Baba died last year as well. This
above picture is my last memory with both of them together before they went
home to be with the Lord. We praise our Lord that they were both saved. The
picture is so powerful in that while I'm greeting Baba, Mama Loboduk is
listening to the Word of God in the Pokot Language from her newly provided
Solar Audio Bible. As resident Missionaries, Sis. Terry and I saw the huge
need for Bibles in Kenya and Uganda first hand. We have made providing
Bibles one of our top ministry mission priorities over the last twelve
years and with the help of our faithful ministry partners we have given out
thousands of hardback, paperback and solar audio Bibles.

We have seen the impact God's Word has made in individual lives,
families, villages and tribes. Imagine what it would be like if you didn't
have God's Word. What if you wanted a copy, but couldn't afford or find one?
While we have already provided thousands, there are still thousands who stand
in need in the Pokot, Luo, Luhya & Karamojong tribes. The Picture
(right) is of Ugandan soldiers receiving one solar audio Bible
for two soldiers to listen to in the Kerio Valley.

The (above) picture was taken last month at a village called
Kibuk which is located on Mt. Elgon. Along with the newly reached village
called Chalicha where two new Churches have been organized last week. The
picture is telling in that hundreds have recently accepted Christ and the
evangelist in the picture named Wycliffe is only able to give out the last of
five Bibles he had. We are working hard to resupply their needs and we are
thankful for those who have recently stepped up to help but we find our
supply lacking at this time. RUNNING LOW

The cost of the below Ember model through Mega Voice is $22.00
each. Now that both Kenya and Uganda are opening up for travel after the
CV-19 Saga, the Evangelist's we are working with are starting to return to
remote areas in the Kerio Valley. They have asked for one hundred of these
audio Bibles in the Pokot languages and one hundred in the Karamojong
Language. With over ninety percent illiteracy rates these Bibles are an
invaluable delivery tool for the Word of God.
Rom. 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God.

 The
cost of these Swahili Bibles recently given to these two Muslim converts below is
$10.00 each. Our goal at this time is to provide the Evangelist's on Mt. Elgon
with three hundred Swahili Bibles over the next three months. The Macedonian
call was given to God's Men to physically come over and help them spiritually.
We realize that not everyone come over to Kenya and Uganda to help these new
converts but we can be a blessing to them by providing God's Word.
Would
you prayerfully considering giving one or two or ten? We at the Florida Church
plant have set a goal giving of 50 audio Bibles and 100 Swahili Bibles.
Heb.
4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword
