UnitedStatesBibleSociety: Newsletter
April 1, 2014 

Welcome to the Monthly Newsletter of the United States Bible Society. Our goal is to keep you informed on our Community and Ministry. Below is a word of encouragement, a thanksgiving, a look back, a look forward, our financial statement, and what we need to meet the vision the Lord has placed on our Hearts. Please enjoy and Pray over this Months Newsletter.

Resurrection Power
You CAN do all things through Christ !!!
              

During the depression times were hard and may suffered due to lack of funds. Sadly, a couple past away due to starvation. When there bodies were found not a bite of food was found in the house. As the family  removed their personal items they found a large sum of money stashed between the mattress of the deceased couple's bed. What a tragedy that the money needed to sustain their life was within reach and not used to meet their needs. In making a spiritual application may have the resources for a Victorious Christian Life and a Successful Ministry within our reach. It is called Resurrection Power. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is residing within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. You can do all thing through Christ that strengtheneth you, IF, you acknowledge, reach out, and yield to this great gift of which you have access. How about you? Do you see this tremendous gift that resides within a saved persons Heart? Let us learn from our story today and truth of the Resurrection Power that raised Jesus from the grave to see the Power that resides within us. This Resurrection Power is well within our grasp. The truth is...I CAN do All things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Thank You
Your Labor is not in Vain. 
    
"Thank You," to all those who are apart of this work as we had another good report of Souls Saved, Bibles Distributed, Devotions Emailed, Web Hits, Bibles Downloaded, Audio Bibles Accessed, and Online Bibles Accessed. Thanks again, for everyone who Prayed, Supplied Funds, Made Visits, Answered Emails, Placed Phone Calls, Provided Bibles, Delivered Bibles, and Shared the Gospel. Your labor is not in vain as I receive mail every day of souls being saved and lives being changed. Let us be encouraged to press to the mark of continuing in the Lord, to do His Will, and His Work in these last days.
Looking Back
Answered Prayer:  
In March we had our largest month for web traffic since we started this work with over 1/2 million web hits. The Lord continues to answer our prayer as we received the deed to our building after paying off our Building last month. March was a month of fundraising and catch up on all the request for the Month as Lydia worked overtime to keep us on tract. We had the blessing of going to one of our first outreach events at the Conyer's Cherry Blossom Festival as we gave out 1000 gospel tracts. My wife Beverly is now head of outreach events and will be working with festivals, parades, and radio outreaches including concerts to get the Gospel into the hands of individuals. We are humbled and amazed at the Lord providing our needs as we continue to reach the world with the Gospel. Words cannot express my thanks for all who give and again, Thank You. I am excited about what the Lord is doing and again thank you for your prayers and gifts.

Looking Forward
Our Next Step: 
     
We are still working on the Life Application notes that I send in our daily devotion to our commentary section of our Online Bible. This will make each Chapter of our Online Bible a devotion in itself with a Chapter of Scripture, Matthew Henry Commentary on the Chapter, and now my Life Application Notes all on the same page.  We are working out the bugs in our Phone Gospel Message that works with the Tracts we had printed. This allows the caller to hear the Gospel Message and Order a Free Bible from our toll free phone number that is on the tract. We are continuing in the change of our focus from automating our Bible Request Search and Placement with a focus on individual ministry and prayer for each who contact us.  We were approached with an opportunity to purchase a 15 passenger van from another Ministry who bought it and can not use it for the work they are doing. It has a $20k blue book value and they are willing to let us have it for $16k. It is immaculate and almost new. We are in need of one to replace the one we have with 250k miles, no air, and no dash computer. I told this Ministry (a Hispanic Outreach Ministry) who is selling the van that I would put the offer in this Newsletter and if anyone gives we will purchase it from them. If the Lord lays this on your heart you can give and we will apply the gifts to this specific need.
Our Finances
 Ministry Finance Report  

 
Words cannot express our appreciation for all who give to the United States Bible Society. Funds given are only a small portion that is invested as thousand of Church Partners provide Bibles daily at their cost. As with any Ministry we have costs to provide our services. I too contribute to this Ministry and receive no personal support for our work. We have grown to the point where we need the Lord to Burden Churches and others to give to meet our financial needs. Thank you for your gifts.
