Donations to Myanmar Bibles doubled

[BlaznFattyz]

50,000 Easy-to-Read Burmese New Testaments will soon be ready for distribution in Myanmar, and a generous donor has agreed to match church donations up to $50,000.

Half of the New Testaments have already been printed in Sri Lanka, and the rest should be finished within three or four weeks. Each New Testament costs $2, so every dollar a church donates to the project will be doubled to buy one New Testament. The donor specifically wants to match donations given by churches.

"He feels like the churches are made up of individual Christians who are interested in getting the Bible to the people of the world, and he feels like this is a project that he wants to see churches involved with," said Tom McGregor of World Bible Translation Center.

McGregor said WBTC is trying to get the Burmese Bibles done as quickly as possible, to take advantage of the short window of opportunity God has given them...Cont'd

There is a radio station here in DC that collects funds for bibles at 4-5 dollars a book, and sends them to China and Burma and anywhere else they are needed. WAVA Washington, DC 105.1 FM is one catalyst.

Nice to see the effort is duplicated elsewhere (probably in many areas besides America/Canada/Mexico/Srilanka). Thanks. for the update Blaze.
