Books That Transform Lives: A Ministry Update

In the last six months, over 12,000 books have been sent out to pastors and church leaders across the globe, equipping them with resources to strengthen their ministries and deepen their faith. This incredible outreach would not be possible without the dedication of our warehouse teams—the ‘pickers,’ who carefully select books that meet applicants’ needs, and the ‘packers,’ who prepare the books for dispatch. Whether sent in blue Royal Mail bags or on pallets, each package represents a lifeline of theological and spiritual growth.

Recently, a pallet of books arrived in Albania, while others are being prepared for Zimbabwe, Ghana, and Nigeria. These shipments ensure that church leaders in diverse contexts receive the resources they need to serve their communities effectively.

The impact of these books is clear from testimonies like this one from the Philippines:

“I am so blessed with the latest box of books you have sent. The books that help me the most are those of Thomas Watson. I’m praying for more books by Thomas Watson in the future, God willing. He is so easy to understand. His insights, illustrations, and applications have helped me tremendously to apply biblical teaching in my personal life and in teaching or preaching to the congregation. These are the kind of books I need right now.”

A pastor in Cameroon shared a similar experience:

“I will sincerely tell you that the books mean a lot to me because all the books address real-life scenarios. To begin with, Expository Thoughts on Luke. This book will help me; I can preach a series of messages using only this book. I have also learned a lot from the Lord’s prayers and how I need to pray. It is clear that sometimes men pray without a sense of direction and how they ought to. I have learned from this book that prayer lies at the very root of our practical Christianity.”

As these testimonies remind us, the resources we send are more than just books—they are tools that equip and transform lives. Thank you for your continued prayers and support, which enable this ministry to flourish. We are advancing God’s Kingdom, one book at a time.
