Dave's Mary Jones 28 mile walk

Dave Bruce is raising money for Bible Society

Participants: I'm hoping others will accompany me for sections of the walk, including Joshua and Eleanor. Do let me know if you want to walk with me - all the way or a section of it. We'll be finishing up in Bala for fish and chips at the end!

Mary Jones Challenge · 11 July 2015 ·

When we read the Bible we find out more about God, more about ourselves and more about the world. That’s why Bible Society invites people to discover it for themselves. Your donations will support Bible mission all around the world.

Story

On Friday 17th & Saturday 18th July I'm going to be walking 28 miles from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant to Bala, following the walk that 15 year old Mary Jones did (in bare feet!) in 1800 in order to purchase a Bible from Thomas Charles.  

Mary had saved up for 6 years because she was so desperate for a Bible of her own, and her determination so impacted Thomas Charles that this led to him setting up the Bible Society which today works to make the Bible accessible to people all over the world.
