PASTORS RECEIVE BIBLES

A few weeks ago, our Pastors had a story to tell when they reached back home, after 5 days of the Leaders' conference in Kabale.
The conference code named "The Pastors' friend conference", was organized by Pastors Tom and Sandy McElfresh from Virginia. They recently incorporated this ministry as The Pastors' Friend International, with a main goal to equip the Pastors and leaders in developing countries. They will be holding Leaders' conferences in Kabale every March.
Around 500 Pastors and leaders attended this year's conference. Most Pastors in Africa have not had formal training, therefore such conferences help to train the Pastors and leaders for the work of the ministry.
This conference started on Monday and ended on Friday. It was unique in a way that Pastors' Friend international donated Bibles to the Pastors and Leaders. Bibles are very expensive to the Pastors who come from villages, especially Rukiga Bibles which cost around $9 each. Most of these Pastors earn less than a dollar per day, and therefore it is so hard to save for a Bible. One Pastor told us later on that;they had only one Bible in a church of about 50 people and it could be shared among the Leaders.
Thank God for the friends who were touched and donated these Bibles. You would have seen the joy and the smiling faces of the Pastors as they went wielding their new Bibles, thanking God for his goodness and provisions. They went determined that they are going to use those Bibles to preach the gospel of the kingdom even to the last person in their villages.
Thank you friends that supported this conference and especially those who donated Bibles.
May God bless you.
