I recieved an email and usually I just dont even read anything that goes directly to my junk folder or anyone from another country due to scams but this one caught my eye and once I read it I knew this was a legit note and from a person of God and that they were not asking for money but they are needing giant print Bibles
so I am posting this note that I received in maybe a hopes that someone out there maybe will fill lead by God to help
Dear Beloved in Christ, I bring you greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour of the World . I am the Pastor of Udigbegbe Community Bible Church . I am married with children. I am age 51 and my wife 49. My occupation is farming. Eight years after giving my life to Christ I had a divine call from God to go into ministry here in my village. Initially I resisted but when God started moving and dealing in my life, I immediately obeyed. Udoh is a rural village community of over 12,000 inhabitants. It is a typical traditional community. In recent years the village has been greatly stroked by the AIDS epidemic which has killed many and made many children orphans. Our Church started as a home fellowship in my residence before others were converted and joined. It was a real battle at the time this fellowship started. The elders of the village never wanted it and they did every possible thing to stop it, they even tried to take my life to stop the preaching of the gospel. But they failed. The Bible says in Isaiah 59:19, "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." And I John 4:4 says, "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." When we recognize the reality of Gods word in these chapters the devil is no match for us. Today we have about 220 in our fellowship. The love in our fellowship in one another made the elders to relent in their fight against us, even some of them have been converted. Three years ago we started an orphanage home where children without parents and support are cared for. We have 23 children in the home. 15 of these childrens parents have died from AIDS. Our love and support for these orphans is a surprising issue to the elders. It is amazing the way God has met the demand of the orphans . The financial statue of the people here are very low due to unemployment. They do farming work not for commercial purposes but for life sustaining using manual labor and crude equipment like cutlasses and hoe. Only the government and few wealthy individuals have mechanize farming here. On behalf of our converts we need about 21 Giant print Bibles for our members who cannot afford to buy Bibles and these Precious Souls are old and they can only read the Giant Print Bibles and we will the KJV and the Bibles should should be in English Language because my Country was colonised by the Great Britain . We are also planning to send some of these children at least to primary school when God provides finances. And these Children in our Orphanage home are brought up in the love of God and teaching them His ways. I am praying that you will Consider coming to Visit us and hold a Crusade believing God that these 12,000 Souls in the Village will come and hear the goodnews of the Kingdom. Yours in the Lord's Vineyard, Pastor Edward Ekekpokpomie Udigbegbe Community Bible Church 12D Udigbegbe Avenue GP-Oredo 8950, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
