While writing my "Life Lessons with Claire" blog style posts on Facebook I was approached by Nabeel. He did not immediately ask for anything and in fact he has not asked for anything to this day. I was chatting with him about the Lord and he asked for prayer because they urgently needed bibles in Urdu. He did not ask for money and he did not ask for anything other that the word of God. This to me was a mark of a true Christian. Their community may be hungry but they are most hungry for the word of God. He has been sending me pictures of their Sunday school for some time and I was moved in compassion. Many in the West have bibles that are gathering dust and yet this young christian (who lives in a country where persecution for Christians is prevalent) is hungering for Gods word to be made available to his fellow Christians.

Whatever you can afford to give then give, If there is anything left when I buy the 100 bibles and have them shipped then I will make a donation to the church.
