UnitedStatesBibleSociety: Newsletter
October 1, 2014 

Welcome to the Monthly Newsletter of the United States Bible Society. Our goal is to keep you informed on our Community and Ministry. Below is a word of encouragement, a thanksgiving, a look back, a look forward, our financial statement, and what we need to meet the vision the Lord has placed on our Hearts. Please enjoy and Pray over this Months Newsletter.

The Rapture
Seeing the Light through my Eyelids
   null               

My doctor has instructed me to spend an hour of exercise so each day I start my day on the treadmill. This time has turned into a blessing as I have made this time a time of prayer. My treadmill is placed in front of a window so I can look outside during my prayer time. One morning this month I found myself praying and thinking about the Daily Devotions and Church Services that have had with a focus on the Rapture. It was at that time on a cloudy day that the sun broke through the Clouds and my window and with my eyes closed I could almost see the Sun through my eyelids. As I reflected on my prayer I felt the Holy Spirit moving on my heart that it was almost time. Yes, time for the second coming of Jesus-Christ. Through the truth of the Scriptures and the fulfillment in Prophecy of the Word of God you can almost see Jesus to come and get His Church. It is true that we do not know the exact day and hour but it is if we can see the signs of the times just like this illustration of seeing light through our eyelids. It is exciting to realize that He can come at anytime. In making application we see how we need to busy about the Lord's business. We need to witness to our friends and loved ones, we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit in all of our ministries and serve the Lord for prophecy has been fulfilled, we can almost hear the trumpet sound,  and it could be anytime for we can see the light through our eyelids.

Thank You
Your Labor is not in Vain. 
    
"Thank You," to all those who are apart of this work as we had another good report of Souls Saved, Bibles Distributed, Devotions Emailed, Bibles Downloaded, Audio Bibles Accessed, and Online Bibles Accessed. Thanks again, for everyone who Prayed, Supplied Funds, Made Visits, Answered Emails, Placed Phone Calls, Provided Bibles, Delivered Bibles, and Shared the Gospel. Your labor is not in vain as I receive mail every day of souls being saved and lives being changed. Let us be encouraged to press to the mark of continuing in the Lord, to do His Will, and His Work in these last days.
Looking Back
A Busy Month:  
In September we had our second highest month of web hits  receiving 1.29 million web hits coupled with the contacts we make through e-Devotions, Church Services, and email correspondence made our Ministry connecting 2.55 million times in 120 countries. Praise the Lord. With this extra traffic and a record number of Bibles being delivered has kept us very busy. Remodeling also has continued as the Lord is making our home office more than we could ever of dreamed. I never thought the Lord would use us in such a large way but we realize that it is Jesus-Christ all things are possible. We Thank the Lord for what He is doing and again thank you for your prayers and gifts.

Looking Forward
Our Next Step: 
     
The Lord has given us a great Vision for the future. We are still looking forward to getting Bibles.us.com up and running as our new online store domain as we will attempt to offer Bibles at our cost to help with the need  of providing more Bibles to ship to our Ministry friends.We are continuing to fix up our Ministry Office with the goal of hosting more Bible Studies for our Local community with a special thanks to www.christianinc.org for the funds to complete these projects. We are continuing to work on the Life Application notes that I send in our daily devotion to our commentary section of our Online Bible. This will make each Chapter of our Online Bible a devotion in itself with a Chapter of Scripture, Matthew Henry Commentary on the Chapter, and now my Life Application Notes all on the same page.  We are working out the bugs in our Phone Gospel Message that works with the Tracts we had printed. This allows the caller to hear the Gospel Message and Order a Free Bible from our toll free phone number that is on the tract. We are continuing in the change of our focus from automating our Bible Request Search and Placement with a focus on individual ministry and prayer for each who contact us. If the Lord lays this on your heart you can give and we will apply the gifts to this specific need.
Our Finances

Thank you for viewing our New Finance Report. We have divided our Finances into 2 Sections. To the left is the (Bible and Postage Fund) All donations made to this Ministry by mail or PayPal will be placed into this fund. 100% of the donations will go to cover the Cost of Bibles and the Shipping. To Your Right Below, we also have an (Operations Fund) which covers the Physical Costs of Ministry and All of our Electronic Projects from Downloadable Bibles, Bible Translations, Internet Devotions, etc. A Special thanks to www.ChristianInc.org and Belmont Baptist Church for being our funding Partner on these Costs. Words cannot express our appreciation for all who give to the United States Bible Society. Funds given are only a small portion that is invested as thousand of Church Partners provide Bibles daily at their cost. As with any Ministry we have costs to provide our services. As Director, I too contribute to this Ministry and receive no personal support for our work. What a joy it is to give so others can receive God's Word. We continue as our Friends Pray and Give. Thank you.
