June, 2009, Prayer Letter

Dear Fellow Helpers in the Lord,

Greetings in the name of our precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I pray my prayer letter finds you well. Freda and I are doing well.
We had another busy month in May. In addition to our regular monthly shipments and special projects we packed 10,000 English Bibles to put on a container to Rick Martin in the Philippines. Bro. Martin will distribute these Bibles at his National Conference in October. Would you consider helping us pay for these Bibles? $16,426.70 has been raised, $53,573.30 is still needed to pay for these Bibles.


Vacation Bible School – Missions Project

It’s time for Vacation Bible School again! Many churches supported BEAMS 2008 VBS “Project Thailand” last year and your children helped to raise $36,212.42 for Thai Bibles. Along with our 2008 Bible Day offerings we were able to purchase 15,000 Thai Bibles. We could not have done this without the help of your children’s offerings.
This year we are asking churches to help us by supporting our 2009 VBS “Spanish Project”. Our goal for 2009 is to raise $70,000 to purchase Spanish Bibles for missionaries. Your VBS offering will enable us to continue providing Bibles to the missionaries in Spanish speaking countries at no cost to them. The need is great! Will you help?


Be 1 of 131

Funds continue to come in to pay off the mortgage debt on the BEAMS property. Our balance at the end of May was $130,899.65. If 131 more churches or individuals would consider giving $1,000.00 each, we could pay off this debt. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated.


Nathan Pierce Memorial Sing

On May 8th, the Inspirations sang in Lucedale, Mississippi. $10,748.00 was raised for Bibles for Bro. Rick Martin in the Philippines. Special thanks goes out to Corinth Baptist Church for hosting this Annual Sing in memory of Nathan Pierce. Thank you for helping us provide Bibles to the Philippines.
