Live Letters !

From the UK Since I found a BAM booklet during a hospital stay two years ago you have kindly been sending me these bi-monthly. I have read them and pass them on to friends or leave them in waiting rooms, libraries, etc. More importantly I pray for the Lord's blessing on them. "                                                              A.S. (Isle of Lewis)

"I have received the last mailing : all the publications you mail to me I can use as a teacher and pastor. We are presently studying the Gospel of John and the series Pictures of Jesus have been very helpful. I have even used the verse and comments on the yellow booklet for the daily school assembly for which we have only ten minutes for both announcements and devotions.
