LEARNING
FROM THE PAST...
(You can help!) The
Word of God (the Bible) is a record of what God has done and what He
will do in the future. God loves His work to be recorded and passed on
to future generations. Bibles For The Poor Society's work over the last
eight years has been
in Vanuatu. Last year our work expanded to the Solomon Islands. There is a rich recorded
history of what God has done in these countries over the
years with many great books written by various authors.
1) These historical writings are
valuable to our current work and are an inspiration
for others to continue in God's work. 3) Learning the history of specific areas helps to
bridge cultural barriers and earn the trust of those in great
need.2) They help to gain a deeper understanding of cultural and spiritual backgrounds of indigenous people, enabling a more effective and strategic ministry. Bibles
For The Poor Society has started a library of old antique
books and some paperback reprints about
Vanuatu, Solomon
Islands, and surrounding island's church
history. Our
purpose for this library is to glorify God by making known what He has
done in the past and how He is still working in our present
day. | ||

to God, there will be there the truest and most enlarged philanthropy.

GO INTO ALL THE WORLD... Bibles
For The Poor Society is in urgent need of an ocean worthy
sailing vessel.
The Lord has laid it on our
hearts to seek his provision for such a ship, to reach
villagers on hundreds of isolated islands not yet accessed with
his Holy Word. Can
you help? |  |

Bibles
For the Poor Society is now approved by the Canadian Government for an
expanded mandate to include Humanitarian Aid in its
activities. While our primary emphasis remains
to minister to the needs of those who are spiritually hungry, we are
now able to minister to
both the spiritual and physical needs of those who are less fortunate.

"I
never know how great a book it is, until I try to do without it, then
the heart aches,
then the eyes are put out with the great tears of grief, then the house is no home of mine,
then life sinks under an infinate load of weariness".
then the eyes are put out with the great tears of grief, then the house is no home of mine,
then life sinks under an infinate load of weariness".

Bible) 1830-1902
