Beatrice has never owned her own Bible.
She has heard her pastor read from it.
She has listened to traveling evangelists quote from it.
But she has never had her own copy of God's Word...
Until today.
The Bible was a gift from our church RECYCLING MINISTRY that turns 'bottles into Bibles and sodas into scriptures'.It is so simple...folks bring their cans and bottles to the RECYCLING kiosk at church.
We buy Bibles and give them to folks like Beatrice...
Two hours later...after most of the folks from the mobile medical clinic were treated...there was Beatrice, standing in the thin light of the window...with her new reading glasses and her Swahili New Testament...
She had some catching up to do...
P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S.!!!!
