Dear Lisa,
I have personally set a goal to attempt to donate 500 Bibles. I cannot imagine how it must feel to physical place the Word of God into the hands of these people. All I know is that I have this driving need to do anything I can to reach the people in other countries who do not have the freedom we have and take for granted in our country. Every time I sent a package of Bibles I broke down in tears and all I could do was thank Jesus. I have 5 children and cannot imagine any one of them being hungry or cold. If I didn't have two very young children at home I would have ditched everything and joined a missionary group that reaches children. I cannot explain this driving need I have other than I am starting to see my calling. Thank you (SWI) for giving me a way to reach these children, although indirect. I remember when SWI was collecting funds through WayFM in South Florida for the tsunami victims to help clothe the victims. I was almost to the highway and was torn up because I was not close to a drop off point. Then the radio announced that they were literally 1/4 mile away from where I was that very moment. I remember whipping my car off the road, pulling into the parking lot where the WAYFM van was and writing a check for $100. I sobbed all the way to work wishing I could do more. Thank you SWI for your presence in this ugly world and being a light for the path of the destitute.
Sincerely,
Sharon M.
