Jim's View
Have you ever received a "real picker upper?" I received a "Picker Upper" a couple of days ago that really lifted my spirits. We have a faithful donor who is blind, and who will be celebrating his 50th. birthday next month. He is asking his friends who attend his birthday party to make a donation to Audio Bibles for the Blind instead of giving him gifts. What a unique and unselfish gesture on his part. In reality, his birthday gifts will provide Audio Bibles for others who are visually impaired or print handicapped.
It is a moving experience to be able to personally meet and talk with people who are so severely challenged and see their positive outlook on life in spite of the difficulties they face. Some of the most touching encounters are those with children and parents of handicapped children. Our heart always goes out to them. We are delighted to be able to provide not only adult Audio Bibles, but also our Children's Bible for the visually impaired and print handicapped children.
Recipients
We received a letter from a lady whose mother is almost blind due to macular degeneration. We had sent her an audio Bible along with some of our Bible studies. She said her mother was thrilled when she received them. She said,
Certifiers and providers are already finding our Rapid Order Service (ROS) helpful in ordering Audio Bibles for their patients and clients. Certifiers and providers can now log on to our web site at http://www.AudioBiblesForTheBlind.org/ROS and place their order on line. By entering their account number, each provider/certifier will be able to place an order for their client or patient. Account numbers can readily be provided for those who do not know their number by emailing us at Bibles@auroraministries.org or calling us at 941-748-3031.
I could not end my blog without once again saying a big thank you to all of our partners who support us with your prayers and contributions. I don't know what we would do without you. I cannot tell you what you mean to this ministry. Together we will continue to reach out to the visually impaired and print handicapped people around the world with God's Word.
That is the way I see it.
Until Next time,
Jim

"My mother listens to them daily with an excitement I had not seen in her in a while. I never dreamed the provision of spiritual audio tapes would be such a blessing for my mother who is almost 82. Not only are they spiritual but professionally done and packaged. Thanks so much for helping our family."
