Bible Distribution

While clean water is vital to physical life, spiritual nourishment is even important. Several of the Haitian pastors and grade school headmasters approach our Haitian Water Team members telling them that the grade school had no books to start a reading program in the higher elementary grades. TPM’s board decided that we needed to look for a solution. One of the pastors we work with suggested Haitian Creole New Testament Bibles be used in the reading program. TPM’s Board concluded that there was no better way to spread the Good News of the Living Water of Jesus Christ to the children of Haiti. A source of Haitian Creole Bibles was found in Port au Prince and we began our Bible distribution program to Christian Grade School in NE Haiti.

As word of the Bible distribution to grade schools spread, several church congregations requested Bibles for their members and so the distribution spread to churches. While we had a US mission team in Haiti working on replacement of a broken hand pumps, the team was approached by a leader from the Cap Haitian Public School. He asked if TPM would be willing to provide the grade school there with Bibles to start a reading program. TPM immediately said yes to the request. Shortly after that, another request was made for Bibles, this one from the warden at the national prison near Cap Haitian. They wanted a 1000 Bibles for the inmates. Once again, we felt this was another calling we should not say no to, so the Bibles were provided.

With the gang take over of the Port au Prince area, our source of Bibles has closed. We are looking for a new source of Haitian Creole Bibles so we can continue the distribution program. Please the Bible distribution program in your prayers.
