Thanks to the Lord’s goodness and generosity, and His working through the hearts of Family Life listeners, 6,186 Bibles will be going to persecuted Christians around the world , which is more than triple the networks goal for this campaign.
Family Life’s Director of Radio Operations, Dave Margalotti said, “we really appreciate the mission of Bible League International and love the heart of everyone on the BLI team. It’s been a blessing and an honor to help them in their mission to deliver God’s word to Christians who are facing prison, torture, and even death simply because of their faith in Jesus Christ. It’s obvious that our listeners also recognize the importance of delivering the hope that we have in Jesus to our brothers and sisters around the globe”.
