“A Wonderful, Valuable Treasure!”
Aware that the dedicated staff workers of the Union of Evangelical Students of India (UESI) are engaged constantly in Bible teaching among Christian and non-Christian students all over India, Langham Literature made a grant which enabled each participant at their national conference to receive a set of key books – resources for studying and teaching the Bible. “A wonderful, valuable treasure,” wrote one, in expressing the thanks of all.
A gift not just for pastors
There are armies of dedicated lay people who are involved in biblical preaching and teaching who are very short of resources. A university engineering lecturer who, as part of his ministry among students for UESI, holds three Bible studies a week in his own home had a desperate need for some commentaries to help him prepare. This led to the special gift by Langham Literature to UESI workers.
The good news and the bad news…and how you can make a difference
The good news is that Langham Literature was able to make a grant of £1,200 to fund this particular need. Not a large amount in the overall perspective, but it made a big difference to the UESI staff team.
The bad news is that the particular fund from which the grant was made is scraping the bottom of the barrel. The “Special Projects Fund” enables Langham Literature to make grants outside the normal programmes that supply books to pastors and seminaries. All kinds of requests for small grants for very worthwhile projects are received. If you would like to see your donation going to special needs of this kind, please contact us for a list of special projects under consideration. Even a small amount can make a big difference when targeted in this way!
