Through a partnership with Bible League, I was able to fill my SUV with 650 Bibles and help put together a massive Bible distribution in Baganga. Four vehicles carried a total of 2,400 Bibles and pastors from 48 churches in three towns came to Faith Tabernacle Church (the church we rebuilt after Typhoon Pablo) where we gave those Bibles to their churches! That means each pastor left with about 50 Bibles in their language for their people! Just imagine of all the churches and thousands of lives that will be changed by the Word of God! Hallelujah!
(A Lot) More Bibles for Baganga
The Bible distribution trip to Baganga opened up an incredible new partnership with Bible League Philippines. After buying 400 Bibles from them, I was able to meet with their national director. He told me that if I can gather forty churches in a town or city, they will donate 1,500 Bibles to divide equally among the churches. In one or two days I am returning with him to Baganga with 1,500 Bibles to distribute among the unified pastors. Not only does this provide much-needed Bibles to the churches, but it promotes unity among the churches. Faith Tabernacle (the church we helped rebuild after Typhoon Pablo) will host this gathering of churches and Bible distribution. It is amazing how God maps out these divine partnerships all over the Philippines. These Bibles are in the local Cebuano language which is widely used in Mindanao and is the most widely spoken dialect in this region.
