Dear Pastor and Christian Friends,
We trust you had a beautiful Christmas and New Year’s, having your hearts blessed and filled with the warmth and joy of our Lord and Saviour. May this new year be the greatest ever in your church and in your personal walk and fellowship with Christ. May the Lord bless His church and your ministry spiritually, numerically and financially so that you can do more for Him in your neighborhood, community and around the world. To Him be the glory!
We praise God for His faithfulness to and blessings on this ministry in 2009. Even though we felt (feel) the effects of the recession we finished up the year with a distribution of 670,093 Scriptures; 101,425 whole Bibles in 6 languages, 279,774 New Testaments in 3 languages and 288,894 Bible portions in 3 languages. This is a total of 7 different languages distributed to 30 different countries, divided among 80 or possibly 100 different missionaries. The exact number of countries and missionaries is very hard to determine as these Scriptures will be shared across borders into several other countries and we do not have a good way to track them. In addition to the Scriptures, we produced and shipped 450,000 Salvation booklets in 4 different languages and 530,950 gospel tracts in 4 different languages. 1,651,043 total pieces shipped!
If everyone will get excited about our 400,000 KJV Bible Campaign for 2011, 2010 will be our best production and distribution ever. We shipped 4,000 Bibles last week and are working this week getting 60,000 English Bible portions and 6,400 English New Testaments ready to go to the Philippines. We received our first trailer load of paper for the year last week (had to unload in frigid 19 degree weather) and have started the web press back up this week on another run of 25,000 English Bibles and 50,000 English N.Ts. God is Good!
Our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation goes to everyone for your prayers and faithful financial support of this ministry. We could not do what we do without you! We thank the Lord for you folks who partner with us in this ministry of producing and distributing the precious Word of God. One plants, one waters but it is still God who gives the increase. Praise God, I am glad that Isaiah 55:11 is still in the book!
Shannon and Tiffany just returned from meetings in Tacoma, and Seattle, WA this week and Linda and I will be leaving here on February the 6th for three weeks of meetings in Florida.

Explanation about shipping; U.S. postal regulations and rates changed drastically in 2007 forcing us to change our method of shipping our Bibles and materials to foreign countries. In order to be a good steward of the funds that you provide through your support and financial contributions to this ministry, we must now ship everything that we can by the pallet, crate or container. Because of the enormous cost of postage, we only send small individual cases of 10 or 15 Bibles when absolutely necessary or when we have “postage sponsors”. The postage on a case of 15 Bibles is $60.00 or $4.00 per Bible compared to $1.00 per Bible for a crate and $0.40 to $0.50 per Bible for a container of 25,000 Bibles. Anytime someone wants to be a “postage sponsor” we will furnish the Bibles!
