"I hope the Lord Jesus through your labor of love will wipe away the tears from many sightless eyes and that He will renew their hope and will shorten their loneliness." This is part of a message we received from a Society for the blind in Moldova after sending them Russian and Ukrainian Audio Bibles. What an encouraging message. It makes us want to do even more to get Audio Bibles to those who are unable to pick up a printed Bible and read it for themselves.

This is a very busy time of the year for us. Last week we had exhibits at the 24th Annual Southern Regional Conference on Diabetes at Champion's Gate, FL, the National Federation for the Blind Florida State Conference at Boca Raton, FL and the National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Nurses Expo in New Orleans, LA. We were privileged at these conferences to meet both visually impaired and print handicapped individuals and health care professionals who care for these dear people.

Recipients

The following are some excerpts from communications we received that blessed my heart. I hope they will be a blessing to you as well. One person wrote, "With a thankful heart, first of all I give thanks to God, and then thanks to you for the cassette Bible with which gave us an unspeakable joy. I was so glad when I opened the package, that in my joy I didn't know what to do, should I cry, or laugh, or dance, I did all of them."
Another person wrote, "I received my Audio Bible this week and I was thrilled. I intend to enjoy it every day the Lord gives me. Facing blindness is scary, but I KNOW He never sends anything He doesn't give me grace to face."

We are living in a day when many are hurting. We are so thankful for our ministry partners who join us in helping to bring light, hope and joy into the lives of many visually impaired and print handicapped people. God bless you for all you do.

That is how I see it.

Until next time,
Jim
