Help us with these Mission Opportunities!!
Bibles in good condition – Midwest Missions
There is a need for over 1500 Bibles to send to Jamacia via Midwest Missions. Please
bring your Bibles to church by May 3, 2026.
We know many individuals and churches have Bibles sitting on shelves that are no
longer used but are still in great shape. If you are willing to donate a Bible you no longer
use, you can help place God’s Word directly into the hands of someone who deeply
needs it.
In 2023, while visiting Food for The Poor in Jamaica, we had the opportunity to visit a
prison that receives Midwest Mission supplies through their ministry efforts. They care
deeply about the men and women they serve — recognizing that while physical needs
matter, spiritual needs matter even more.
This is a nice way to review your bookshelves at home and find the Bible that could find
a new home.
