Can You Donate a Bible?


We have a great need at Manuelito Navajo Children's Home and at Gallup Christian School. We need several NIV Study Bibles for our children and students to use. Most of our kids come to us without ever having touched a Bible, much less read one. We have several old and tattered Bibles for them to have and use, but many of these are older versions (lots of KJV). But, our kids need Bibles that are easier to read, and they would certainly profit from having a Bible with some study helps.


Could you add a Bible to your Christmas shopping list and provide a child from the Navajo Nation the blessing of a good Bible? If so, purchase the Bible (hardcover NIV Study Bible would be the best) and mail it to Manuelito Navajo Children's Home; P.O. Box 58; Gallup, NM 87305. Mark the package to my attention: c/o Jeff Foster. We need a total of 30 Bibles. Bibles with thumb-indexing would be an ever greater blessing.


Asking a favor of those bloggers who happen by this site: Will you put a notice of this appeal on your blog? Many thanks.

Jeff,

I will make a request of our church next Sunday. I will ask for some financial support and have them send it to you to buy the Bibles you want. Keep up the great work!

Hi Jeff,

I am looking up study bibles and came across a teen study bible. Are the ages of your kids 12 - 15 or are they younger/older. Just need to know before I send the info to our church admin.
