Dear Fellow Helpers in the Lord,

 

    Greetings in the name of our precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  May I take this opportunity to thank each of you for your prayers and support for the BEAMS Bible ministry and for the Freret family.  The most important book in all the world is the Bible.  What an honor it is for us to supply Bibles to missionaries in 123 countries.  We packed 11,142 Bibles in the month of January!  To God be the glory!

Be One of 170:  Help Pay Off BEAMS Property

     As I stated in my last prayer letter, one of our goals for 2009 is to pay off the $170,667.92 owed on the BEAMS property.  Some of you have already responded and $15.913.97 has been sent in .  We are asking 170 churches or individuals to prayerfully consider giving at least $1,000.00.  Every dollar given will be applied towards the principal.  Any consideration toward helping on this project would be deeply appreciated.

1^st Annual BEAMS Benefit Bluegrass Gospel Sing

     On January 31, 2009, Bethel Hill Baptist Church hosted the 1^st Annual BEAMS Benefit Bluegrass Gospel Sing at Latimer Community Center in Vancleave, MS.  It was a great night of food and singing with The Forrester Family, The Tommy Miles Family and Railroad Creek.  We appreciate this church’s desire to get Bibles into the hands of new believers.  Over $3,700 was raised for Bibles for Iran!
