Jim's View

Greetings. We are back home in Florida for a couple of days before we leave for Texas. I came home from the C-Sun conference in Los Angeles with a lump in my throat and joy in my heart. I was very moved by some encounters with folk who were blind and some who were in wheel chairs. One person was moved to tears when she found she could request an Audio Bible for her 93 year old grandparents who had been recently moved to a nursing home facility. I was very touched by some of the conditions we saw, but had great joy in my heart by being able to offer them a FREE Audio Bible. We had a wonderful response from the attendees. The orders we brought back will soon be filled and on their way to these individuals. How blessed we are to be able to provide God's Word to these dear people. As happens in almost every conference we work, several professionals came by our booth and expressed their appreciation for the services Aurora Ministries/Audio Bibles For The Blind provides to the individuals they serve.
Our team who worked the National Council on Aging/American Society on Aging in Las Vegas had a great conference. They were approached by a professional who told how she had requested an Audio Bible for an elderly woman of Russian descent. This Russian lady had been displaced in a care facility where no one spoke her language. The professional worker presented her the Russian Audio Bible and as a result saw a tremendous change in this elderly lady.
The exhibit booth was continually a busy place with people stopping by to learn how FREE Audio Bibles could be provided for the visually impaired and print handicapped people they served.
Responses From Recipients
A library coordinator said, "You guys are great! Thanks for all you do--I can tell you first hand that you have made a difference in many people's lives. I send you requests for Audio Bibles for people all the time." Another person writes, "Thank you so much for the Bible on tape. I have been listening to it each day. I am much encouraged by God's Word."
I must say "thank you" to all of our ministry partners who support us with your prayers and contributions. You are such a vital part of this ministry in bringing hope and encouragement to those around the world who benefit from this ministry. I don't know what we would do without you!!
That's how I see it.
Until next time,
Jim
