The American Bible Society received a special gift yesterday from the Massachusetts Bible Society designated to purchase 100 Arabic Bibles for Bethlehem Bible College in Israel. Thank you for the blessing of such support.
I can thihnk of no finer investment than one that helps to provide God's message of faith, hope, and love. Thank you for your efforts to secure these funds and then to serve as a conduit in helping to complete a wonderful Scripture-sharing project in a place with great needs. This side of heaven we cannot know the full impact of the Scriptures you wil hlep to provide to the arriving students annually, but we are confident that God's Word will do all that He sent it to do.

Oh behalf of The Salvation Army, we would like to thank you for supporting the 2007 Christmas Castle.

On behalf of the staff and patients at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, I would like to thank yo uand the Bible Society for your on-going support.
At the Shattuck Hospital, we have patients and staff who come from all parts of the globe and the Bible Society has always been very accommodating in finding the appropriate translations to meet our needs.
It's so very hard to describe the look of joy that I see every time I give out a Bible that was donated by the Bible Society, especially to those patients and staff who are not native English speakers. I have been told a number of times by our patients that to have a Bible in one's own language has enhanced their spiritual journey and helped to find sources for hope in difficult times.

I wanted to write to thank you for sending me the beautiful Bible I received. Having a study Bible in a language that I can understand has opened up the Word of God to me on a whole new level. I now can comprehend and get the full meaning of His Word. Thank you all once again for listening to your hearts and sending the Bible to me. It's a gift that NEVER stops giving!

We at Straight Ahead Ministries would like to thank the Massachusetts Bible Society for the gift of two cases of Abundant Life NLT Bibles which we received last week. All of these Bibles will be given to youth in lock-up facilities throughout Massachusetts.
We have approximately 80 volunteers who lead Bible studies weekly in most of the DYS facilities. Your generosity has helped them and us bring God's word to those who need it so much.

Please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation for the Bibles awarded to Caritas Carney Hospital through your grant program. I know that our Pastoral Care staff will ensure that they are put to good use in the important work of ministering to our patients, families and staff. I am sure that the Bibles will be a source of comfort and wisdom to all who have the opportunity to read them.

Thank you for sending 20 more Recovery Life Bibles to Bridge to Hope for distribution to women at the Barnstable County Correctional Facility. Now more women will be able to read the Word of God. They asked, and the Massachusetts Bible Society supplied. Praise God!

The shipment has finally reached its destination in Ghana! They just informed us that everything including the Bibles have arrived. Once again, thank you for the 100 Bibles that you generously donated to the Global Outreach Ministries. You can just imagine the 100 souls that will get hold of the True Living Word of God, and in turn sharing that word of truth to others, and those others to others...like an endless bible teaching chain-link that will keep getting passed on from family to family, tribe to tribe, nation to nation!
