More than 130,000 Bibles delivered by the Argentinian Bible Society in April

During the month of April, the Argentinian Bible Society donated a total of 137,000 copies of the New Testament, along with the churches and ministries that throughout the country are serving communities and people who are in vulnerable situations or who are actively collaborating in the fight against the coronavirus.

100 thousand copies were given to the Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Argentina Republic (ACIERA) for the campaign “Seamos Uno” (Let’s Be One), an initiative that brought together businessmen, religious and social organizations together with the Ministry of Human Development and Habitat of the City of Buenos Aires and the Ministry of Social Development of the Province of Buenos Aires, to collaborate with the neediest sectors in the midst of the coronavirus emergency.

Another 37 thousand arrived at ministries and churches in the Province of Buenos Aires, the City of Buenos Aires, Chaco, Chubut, Corrientes, Cordoba, Entre Rios, Jujuy, Mendoza, Misiones, Neuquen, Rio Negro, Santa Cruz and Santa Fe.

The Word of God in the heart of needy families

“We thank God in the first place, because He has given us His Word which is the Bread of Life, but also for the Bible Society, willing to be present in the greatest need. This effort puts the Word of God back where it belongs: in the hearts of families in need”, expressed the authorities of ACIERA in a letter of thanks.

Other copies are coming through churches, ministries and believers, to workers and patients in hospitals and health centers, to firefighters, police and security force personnel, and people in prisons.

“Graciela, a nurse from the city of Buenos Aires who received New Testaments and shared them with other classmates related: “An intensive care nurse had a burden on her heart because of the serious cases of Covid-19 and the anguish in the people for whom she prayed.”

“She was happy to have the possibility of not only speaking to them, but also leaving them the Word of God. Another colleague was able to give a New Testament to a man who had his son hospitalized for burns in intensive care and pray for him. In these difficult times where many brothers and chaplains who visit hospitals are limited, God continues to extend his work, moving his sick children to places where others do not reach and give people their written Word that never returns empty.”
