Bibles For Bungoma
This post is another story I want to share with you in my effort to live the Simple Life in Kenya.
In the town of Bungoma, Kenya, there are many churches.
In those churches there are many pews.
In those pews there are many Christians.
In those Christians there are very passionate hearts.
But in those hands, there are no Bibles.
The church in Bungoma is alive and well, but unfortunately, they lack resources to get Bibles into the very eager hands. When we were doing house-to-house evangelism, I asked the pastor if there was any way we could get Bibles to the people that just accepted Christ. One of my biggest fears is leading someone to the Lord, and then leaving them with a serious lack of discipleship. In the much quoted Great Commission, Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations – not just converts. So we set out to undertake the Bibles for Bungoma project. Our contact knew of a Bible distributor in the area and told us that each Bible would cost around $8. For two cups of Starbucks, we could make an eternal impact in the lives of Christians around the world. So we began to rally our resources. I am still amazed at the way the Lord moved so quickly and greatly. In a matter of four days, three girls had raised almost $2,000! That money bought over 190 Bibles and discipleship manuals for the wonderful people of Bungoma!! The Lord never ceases to amaze me.
The wonderful part about this whole story is that all we did was simply put ourselves in a place of asking questions and letting the Lord respond. I asked if Bibles were available, and God found a way to get them to Kenya. We asked our friends, families and supporters if they wanted to invest in God’s Kingdom, and the Lord moved mightily!! He is just so good!! I will never forget the joy on the faces of the people who got to hold their very own Bible, in their own language. They truly were in love with the Living Word. I want to thank many of you who contributed to this project and rejoice that in a matter of a week, almost two thousand dollars were raised and the Bibles were distributed into the hands that desperately needed them.
Thank you for sewing into the Kingdom, and helping us disciple the nations.
** As quickly as the Bibles got to Bungoma, they were gone almost as quickly. There is still a great need there, as well as all over Kenya and Eastern Africa, for Bibles. If you are interested in investing $10 for the Kingdom, please contact me at JenniferLeeMitchell@gmail.com and we can get a Bible into the hands of those who need it!! Thank you so much!
