What a Team!
As we began raising funds for the Philippines, we were given a challenge to raise $450,000.00 in fiscal ‘05. The volunteers stepped to the plate and hit a home run with $510,828.83. This fiscal year, we were given a $500,000.00 goal. As of August 31, the Bible League Volunteers raised $459.711.95. That means 242,635 Bibles were provided to waiting Filipinos because of $970,540.78 Volunteer-influenced income for two years. Praise God for Volunteers and their commitment! To God be the glory! Connie Reitsma, Director of Volunteer Development

The Lord Almighty is with us, and He alone is God. He will be exalted in all the earth and among the nations. He calls us to be still and know that He is God. So we gather together this day to find rest in the goodness of God, and to be challenged by the grace and majesty of God.
