Jim's View

Did you know that by 2015 the blind population in America is expected to double?

Some weeks ago we provided our ministry partners thank-you cards on which they could write a personal message of appreciation to our wounded warriors and veterans. We received many wonderful responses of kind words and thoughtful expressions. Those cards have been passed along, and I am sure those messages of love, appreciation and encouragement will bring much joy to those who receive them.
My wife and I had the pleasure this week of visiting a V.A. Hospital and personally delivering a bundle of the thank-you cards to be passed along to wounded warriors and veterans who are patients there. We were also able to bring along some Audio Bibles for the chaplains to give to their veterans and wounded warrior patients. The chaplains were very appreciative of the cards, but most of all for the Audio Bibles. They shared a number of examples of how their soldier patients were blessed by receiving an Audio Bible. One of the chaplains told of giving one of our Audio Bibles to a patient who had lost his sight. The chaplain had been able to spend limited time reading the Scriptures to him, but could not always be available to read to him. With his own Audio Bible he is now able fill his long lonely hours being comforted by listening to the Word of God.

I encourage you to spend spend a few moments browsing our Audio Bibles For The Blind web page. We have posted several new, informative and interesting videos that tell more about our ministry. I think you will enjoy watching them.

Thanks again for your partnership in helping us do what we could not do without your prayers and financial support. Please do not hesitate to contact us when we can be of service.

That is how I see it.

Until Next Time,
Jim

My wife and I are retired (Air Force) and looking for volunteer opportunities in His service. As born-again Christians, we want to do His will, not ours. What avenues of volunteer service may be open to us within your ministry?
