1800 kids receiving their first Bible at camp....priceless.

Dear Give the Word supporters, donors, friends and those of you just finding out who we are....

We have been asked to partner with and provide 1800 easy to read NLT New Testaments for Camp Arnes
(Manitoba) and for Child Evangelism Fellowship (B.C.) camps this summer. These New Testaments will be given away to all the unchurched kids who will be attending the camps. Whatever Bibles are left over, they are going to challenge the kids/teens to share their faith and give a Bible away to someone when they get home.
This is an awesome opportunity to pour into kids lives with the Word of God.
This project will cost Give the Word $4000.00. That's only $2.22/Bible. If you would like to support this project, you can call us and donate by credit card 204-803-5773 or you can mail it in. You can also email me at info.givetheword@gmail.com for info on mailing in a donation or if you just want more info about the project. 

 

Together we can Give the Word...change a life. 

 

Itroducing Jesus to the sexually exploited, addicted and forgotten women in Baja, Mexico

A few days ago, I received an email from a ministry called New Beginnings Womens Treatment and Rehab centre. They have a canadian office in British Columbia but do their mission work at the treatment centre in Baja, Mexico.
The Canadian Director called got in touch with with Give the Word to introduce me to their ministry in Mexico and put a request in for us to partner with them by providing outreach focused Spanish Bibles for the women and their children at the centre.
All the women who come to the centre suffer from sexual exploitation, addiction, abuse and many who are just getting out of prison and have nowhere to go. The workers have a passion for these women and their kids and work with them through their recovery, to show them love and lead them to relationship with Jesus.
How could we say no to a ministry like this? We can't. We sent them 5 cases of Spanish outreach Bibles and took it on faith that the funds would come in to cover the cost...and they did. The Bibles will be taken to the centre in Baja at the beginning of April.
Thanks to all our supporters who make the ministry of Give The Word possible.

Rescuing Women from a life of prostitution

Bibles and Hockey

Meet Lance….

Lance found out about Give the Word through seeing our Bibles being given away at a church service in Winnipeg. The pastor directed him to Give the Word and he contacted me to share his passion for sharing his faith and asked if we would be able to provide him with Bibles to give away.
Lance shared about how he is playing in a hockey tournament this weekend with many of the teams being from first nations communities. Being First Nations himself, he thought this hockey tournament would be a great place to introduce people to Jesus.
We were abel to give Lance and his family a whole case of NLT New Testaments as well as a case of Gospel of Johns. They will be giving them out all weekend to anyone who is interested in hearing about Jesus.
Imagine if we were all like Lance, fearless about sharing our faith and passionate about seeing people come to know Jesus.
We are so blessed to be able to give away Bibles to partner with people like Lance. He'll be back for more when they are gone and I look forward to hearing his stories and testimonies.

Thanks to all our support partners who allow us to connect with so many people and ministries who have a desire to see God's Word touch peoples lives.

 

 

Entire Church of 1300 reading through the New Testament

Church of 1300 people reading the entire New Testament together.

We just recently partnered with our church (Riverwood Church) for a project that has the entire church reading through the entire New Testament in 66 days. We were able to provide 1300 bibles which custom covers designed for this project along with an imprinted reading plan inside the cover. This was a lot of fun to see happen. Many of the people at riverwood are brand new Christians and people who are still searching and have never read the Bible like this before. What a way to go get back into the Word!!

I am just amazed at the support Give the Word is receiving. Wether you are a prayer or support partner, you all play such an active role in the distribution of the Bible. Every day I am getting requests from ministries that are needing Bibles, and every day the funding has come in in the most amazing ways to provide for those needs. We have been able to donate/supply Bibles to PRISONS, ARCTIC COMMUNITIES, ADDICTION RECOVERY CENTRES, MEXICO, CUBA, PARAGUAY, KIDS CAMPS, HOMELESS SHELTERS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECTS, STREET MINISTRY…and the list goes on. I whish I could take the time to post every single project that God has orchestrated, but just know that your support is helping to reach people for Jesus every single day. Keep the support coming and we'll keep the Bibles flowing.
(We know you work hard for the support you give. The Bibles you allow us to distribute are given with discernment and wisdom. When we give away Bibles, we make absolutely sure that they are not just in a warehouse or on a shelf somewhere. They are being put in peoples hands who actually need them and follow up is done to ensure this)

Viola Found Jesus

What a blessing to be able to serve the downtown people with soup, sandwiches, mitts, and most importantly, The Bible. 

Give The Word has been faithfully been supplying us with the Bibles we need to our downtown ministry that we run out of our van every single Sunday. For many, this ministry van is their church. We give out soup, sandwiches and the Bible to many low income and homeless people in the downtown area and have had the opportunity to openly pray and share the Love of Jesus with so many people. Viola came up to the table recently as she had many times before. After receiving a sandwich and some fruit, she asked me If I could give her a ride home when our team was finished giving out the food, Bibles and blankets. I gladly took the opportunity to spend more time with her. Once we got going, she started opening up to me like never before. The conversation turned spiritual in nature and I new I had to open up to her as well. When I turned on to her street, I knew God was telling me to talk to Viola about what Jesus has done for her and asked her if she was willing to let Jesus into her life as her savior. She replied with a resounding YES and sincerely invited Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. It was such an amazing moment for me and even more intense for Viola. She was a new woman. I gave her her very first Bible and she was so excited to start reading. I then thought I would invite Viola to church. She mentioned to me a church that she’s visited a few timea close to her home and I encouraged her to keep going and that she would find many people there that she could connect with. She was so excited!! We then exchanged phone numbers to stay closely in-touch and said good-bye. I was so excited to have a new sister in the Lord and look forward to getting to know her more. 

A big thanks goes out to Give The Word for giving us the Bibles for all these divine appointments. The Bible is a living Word and accomplishes everything that God desires. 

Without these Bibles, our ministry would not be the same.
