We had a wonderful time with the American Occupational Therapists (AOTA) in Houston. Even though the attendance was down, we received a very good response. Many therapists were delighted to hear about the free Audio Bibles we can provide for their handicapped patients. One therapist told us that our booth was the best one at the conference, and that what we provided would help people more than anything else.

One woman who is associated with Recordings for the Blind told us that people they serve often asked if they recorded the Bible. She said she would tell them, "No, Aurora Ministries/Audio Bibles for the Blind does it much better than we could." We often get referrals from them.

Dr. and Mrs. Musser represented Aurora Ministries/Audio Bibles for the Blind at the American Geriatrics' Society's Conference in Chicago, and were well received Dr. Musser, a retired physician, and his wife Marian have a special place in their heart for those who are visually impaired and print handicapped. We are blessed to have them as part of the team.

We had a very successful Aurora Ministries board of directors meeting in Bradenton last Wednesday. Our board is made up of members from Ohio, Indiana, California, Washington, North Carolina, and Florida. We are blessed to have a board who has a heart for ministering to the visually impaired and print handicapped and are continually looking for ways we can better serve them.

Recipients
We sent an Audio Bible to an eighty-two year old woman in Texas. One of her friends called our office and said this lady listens to her Audio Bible as much as 6 hours a day. She has listened to the entire Bible in two months. She starts with Genesis and when she finishes Revelation, she begins at Genesis again.

We received a message from someone who said they cried when they received their Audio Bible, knowing that even though being unable to read, they could now hear God's Word.

I am continually reminded of just how important our ministry partners are in helping us get Audio Bibles to people like the 82 year old lady who spends much of her day listening to God's Word, and the person who was brought to joyful tears when listening to the Audio Bible. We can never thank you enough for your prayers and financial contributions.

Until next time,
