Real Stories
Bible Distribution
At a recent Bible Distribution for 7th graders at a school in an underprivileged garbage village, our representative asked the children, “We were here several years ago. Does anyone remember the gift you received from the Bible Society?” Myrna immediately raised her hand and shared confidently and joyfully: “When I was in the 4th grade, I received an illustrated Bible. It really delighted me, and I really loved it. And I would read from it regularly. I really benefitted a lot from my Bible… I still have that Bible that I got in 4th grade, and I still read it.” During this same distribution, another girl in the 7th grade mentioned to one of our staff members that this would be the first complete Bible for their family to have in their home.
Competition booklet
A young mother shared, “I was not attending church and I didn’t read my Bible. Fr. Mousa encouraged me by giving me the Bible and a Competition booklet, and told me to come. I was immediately hooked, and I am now regularly attending Church. When I finished the booklet, I immediately started the next, always begging for the next competition. I even did all the “Think and Play” competition booklets that were for the Sunday-School kids! My husband would come home and I would tell him, “Please, can you put out the food? I just need a few more minutes!” Really! I could stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning doing the study, sleep a bit and then get up before everyone and do a few more chapters before breakfast. Of course, I cook in the evenings and get everything ready, so the food is ready just to heat up, so that I can be free to do some more study after supper. Honestly, this is the story of my life! I do my work in the evenings, and then spend all night studying the Bible. I love your Bible competitions!”
Cairo International Bookfair
One lady visited the Bible Society booth at the Cairo International Bookfair with her child. She told him, “Here in this booth, I can assure you that it is safe to buy whichever product you choose.” Another lady came with her son and opened a Bible to the Sermon on the Mount and started reading the verses to her son. “These are the wonderful teachings I was telling you about,” she said. Then she bought a Bible for her son.
MegaVoice device
Manal is Visually Impaired. She is thankful for her MegaVoice device, which enables her to join the Bible Studies and Competitions. She is also listening to 4 or 5 chapters daily, to complete the Bible in a year. She listens to it throughout the day, and says, “I love having the Bible with me all day, and it makes all the difference. Sometime I am worried… and the verse comes to me that says, “Cast your cares on Him for He careth for you.” And I see the Lord taking care of me like he takes care of the birds of the air. If He takes care of the birds, of course He will take care of me, His beloved! The whole Bible is precious to me. And I have also learned about characters in the Bible as I read, many people that I had never heard of before. And through this competition we have learned about so many characters, and the details about their lives.”
