We are approaching the end of the year with a flurry of activity, some very encouraging, and others not so encouraging. On the encouraging side, we have had a flood of orders for the Audio Bible these past few weeks. That has left us scrambling to produce more Bibles and get them sent on their way as quickly as possible. We are finishing our year on a very receptive and positive note from the professionals who serve the visually impaired and print handicapped community. There is much interest in finding out how they can get Audio Bibles for those they serve.

Because of budget restraints, we have lost some key and dear staff members. This has made a heavy work load even heavier for those of us who are left. However, we are committed to continue to provide a Free Audio Bible to every visually impaired and print handicapped individual who requests one.

We look forward to the New Year and the opportunities God will bring our way. With the help of our ministry partners, we will continue to look for ways we can serve the visually impaired and print handicapped by providing them with their own Audio Bible. The demand and the need have never been greater.

I encourage you to check the different resources available on our web site. The latest is the Christmas CD by Sam Lane, a blind concert pianist. You can download it completely free. You will be blessed by it.

Responses From Recipients

The following are just a few of the many responses we have received in past few days:

Thank you so very much for the Audio New Testament Cassettes. I just received it and have listened to it for 2 hours. I plan to listen to all of it then turn around and listen to all of it over and over again. I really do appreciate it. I am 80 years old.

Thank you so much for the Audio Bible I received today. I shared the information with my friend who is a therapy supervisor in rehab. She is eager to put it to use.

I want to tell you how much I love my Audio Bible. It has been such a blessing. May God bless each one of you dear people for your help in sending to people who can no longer see and miss the reading of their Bible. It has brought many happy hours for me.

All of us at Aurora Ministries/Audio Bibles For The Blind want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blessing-filled New Year. Words can never express how we appreciate all of you who help us in this vital ministry to the sight impaired and print handicapped. We cherish your prayers, financial support and words of encouragement.

That is how I see it.

Until Next Time,
