I am a female. Therefore, I can multitask. Just wanted to get that out there before beginning this.
So, the other day in class (I was listening too! Was the Lord's Prayer in Matthew or Luke closer to Jesus' actual words?), the wonderful Jessica Richie and I were brainstorming ideas of things to bring to Zimbabwe. (Westwoods Church, whose pastor was my staff leader for the Zim trip in May, is considering sending a team in January. And then I will obviously be going back as well.) We were trying to think of items that are needed, wanted, or both. We compiled quite the list, but our biggest idea was to buy a Bible for each of the staff and kids with their names engraved in it. Very few of them have their own Bible, and none have an engraved Bible. I think it would be very, very special for them - especially the kids who have never had their own anything.
This would be an expensive project - Bibles aren't very cheap, especially when you need thirty-one of them. If you would like to help with this cause, please make a donation and specify that it is for the Bible Project. Also, if you have any connections in the Christian book store realm, please let me know!
Side note: If you have a working iPod that you don't use anymore and would like to donate, we would love to load it with music and send it to Zimbabwe. Children's books, books about psychological problems that traumatized kids can go through, or any theological books would be great as well!
We have a bookstore at our church. I am working on getting some contact info on whoever the boss is for it. ~ M.L.
