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.

Help Wanted
God Has a Job for You.
              

A recent set of family devotions had our family had agree on a conclusion of "Help Wanted, God has a Job for You". The key memory verse we learned was Acts 1:8 which states, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This verse made us reflect on ourselves to see if we were reaching our own personal Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and Uttermost with the Gospel. Now it would seem that in the United States and living in the Bible Belt of the south where there is a Church on every corner that everyone would have heard the Gospel but recently I talked to an individual who had never heard the Gospel of Jesus-Christ. This encounter had me ask the question - why??? With more than 4 Churches around this mans home not to mention even more Christians living around him, why has no-one witnessed to this man? In making application we see the Job that Jesus-Christ has left us to do. First to be Saved, and then to be a witness to our Jerusalem (neighborhood), our Judaea (community), our Samaria (state and nation), and to the uttermost (other nations) with the key being to focus on all at the same time. How about you? Do you witness to the 4 areas listed in Acts 1:8? Let us learn and apply Acts 1:8 doing the Job that the Lord has left us to be....A witness of the Gospel.

Thank You

Looking Back
A New Online Bible:  
In April we made a new Online Bible in a Bible Data Base Format. You can view and use it at http://www.usbiblesociety.com/#!mybibleuscom/caqj and we put the domain www.MyBible.us.com to work. This is Bible Data base program that is a super fast Online Bible in a Data Base format. You can type in "mat 1" and it goes to MATTHEW chapter 1. Type in "God" and all the verses with GOD come up. It has a Lexicon in a Strong's and IPD format as well to make Bible Reading Easy. Tell me what you think and other items you need to help your Bible Study. 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.

Our Next Step: 
     
GlobalBibleSocieties.com is a site we are still working on to link all the Global Bible Societies together. We are continuing to work 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.   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.
