Word First is a bible publishing ministry that has long served the missionary on the field by supplying bibles or New Testaments in hundreds of languages around the world. The tools necessary are often expensive but we never pass on the costs for publishing to the missionary instead we give those bibles away for free.
This past April, God blessed the ministry with a wonderful financial donation that happened to come at a time when we were praying for a replacement trimmer which cuts the books down to finished size. We needed something that would cut cleanly and produce a quality finished Bible.
God saw fit to answer our prayer with this financial gift and at the same time give us a chance to buy a four year old professional industrial grade trimmer for a fraction of the cost. it was in California and two men, Terry Ogle and Vince Broker volunteered to travel to Southern California and verify its condition. Their report was overwehelmingly positive. We were able to buy the trimmer for about 20% of its value.
God was not yet finished. In the course of negotiating the purchase, the seller, a reseller of used print equipment gave us (YES GAVE) us a six pocket perfect binder. this is unheard of and we are so beyond excited about what God will do with this ministry in the coming years.
The word of God is precious and many people need to hear it before the return of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for the ministry and the distribution of the word to the world.
