Report Day 22: Wednesday, 11/7/2001

Wednesday, November 7, 2001 - Ephesians 6:15 says, “And having shod your feet with the firm foundation of the gospel of peace.” As we gathered together this morning with several Philadelphia volunteers, we used this verse for our prayer as a good start for the day. This was in anticipation of the Lord’s blessing on our labor at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University in Philadelphia.

While some of us went with the minivan and cargo van to the University of Pennsylvania, the rest of us drove the motor home to Temple University. Sixteen volunteers joined us for the distribution on both campuses. After four hours on each campus, we passed out a total 11,116 offers for a free New Testament Recovery Version (RcV) and gave away 326 Bibles.

We thank the Lord that a good number of U Penn students received the offer for a free RcV. We are so happy that soon this treasure will be in their hands.

The students’ response was even greater at Temple University, where we gave away most of the free Bibles. In preparation for our visit to Temple, some volunteers had secured a reserved parking space for the motor home near student housing. However, when we got there, we found that the space was already occupied. A volunteer then contacted the parking police who graciously allowed us to park directly in front of the Student Center—one of the highest traffic areas on the campus. It was here that we met a continuous flow of students who were very eager to receive our gift. We praise the Lord for His provision, strategically locating us on campus to bring us so many seekers for the truth.

At three o’clock we left the campuses and converged at a volunteer's home, all rejoicing in the blessings the Lord bestowed on us today.

In the evening we gave an audiovisual presentation of the mission of Bibles for America to more volunteers in the Philadelphia area.

In everything giving thanks,
The “Word of Truth USA” Crew
