Report Day 12: Tuesday, February 19, 2002


Over the past several days, we have shared an increasing feeling that our work in Salt Lake City has been completed and that the Lord Jesus Christ has gained the full victory here. We fellowshipped and prayed much regarding this matter among ourselves and with the Bibles for America staff in Irvine. In all the fellowship and prayer, the Lord confirmed to us that our work in Salt Lake City was finished and that we should spend the rest of the time we set aside for this tour by traveling to other cities in the Northwest. We decided to go first to Boise, Idaho, and then to Oregon to visit Portland, Eugene, Roseburg, and Ashland. Our last stop will be in Fresno, California.

Today was our first day of travel on this leg of our tour. We departed Salt Lake City at 9:30 A.M. Before we left, we had victorious prayer in the ascension of Christ and received a joyful send off from the local volunteers with much encouragement to fulfill many more divinely arranged appointments. After a safe journey, we arrived in Boise, Idaho at 4:00 P.M.

On the way, we stopped at a truck stop to refuel. While we were there, we passed out 32 brochures offering a free Recovery Version New Testament and six New Testaments. At the truck stop, one of the volunteers was speaking with a woman about the New Testament Recovery Version when the woman's husband came out of the store, approached the volunteer, and said, "I would like to have a job like yours, giving away Bibles." It turns out they give Bibles to prisoners and have been wanting a version the prisoners could understand.

As we were fellowshipping about our experience these last eleven days, one of the volunteers shared this testimony:

Before I went on this tour, spiritually speaking, I felt like a piece of dry kindling in an Arizona desert. While in Salt Lake City, I had seven days of unspeakable joy. Not only so, I met other believers who were volunteering just like me. We enjoyed fellowshipping and serving together in the gospel. Something eternal happened during that time.

In Christ's ascension,
The "Salt Lake City Tour" Crew
