Christian Resources International
Sharing the Light of God's Word With the World
In 2007, God drew together a team of 2,548 donors just like you from all across America to donate, pack, and ship nearly 175 tons of material of Bibles, Christian books, and other Christian resources to more than 168 countries around the world!
That includes 499 individual book packages, 8 twenty-foot containers and one forty foot container.
But wait! There’s more!
Individuals like you--and families and church groups like yours—answered the call to Bare Your Bookshelf in order to personally answer 3,162 request letters for Bibles and Christian books from individuals around the world. What’s more, eighty-three needy pastors were provided with brand new study Bibles, commentaries and reference works because donors underwrote to cost of Pastor’s Libraries.
Here’s how CRI’s donors and volunteers made it happen, by the grace of God:
Containers Shipped Out:
01/25/07 to Sathyam Literature Service In Kerala, India: 27,329 pounds
01/26/07 to India Bible Literature in Tamilnadu, India: 30,350 pounds
04/09/07 to Likoro Bature in Port Harcourt, Nigeria: 27,041 pounds
08/07/07 to Dorcas Aid in Amsterdam: 50,119 pounds
08/22/07 to India Bible Literature in Chennai, India: 26,839 pounds
10/24/07 to Sathyan Literature Service in Cochin, India: 27,910 pounds
11/01/07 to Children for Christ Ministry Int’l. in Kikuyu, Kenya: 30,826 pounds
11/16/07 to Sathyam Literature Service in Tiruvalla, India: 26,346 pounds
11/29/07 to Evangelical Mission Bible College in Kallumala, India: 27,691 pounds
22,000 of the Bibles in the totals above came from listeners to Champaign, IL radio station WBGL, through a listener “Million Bible Drive.” Praise God!
Volunteers contributed 7,503 hours of service in CRI’s Fowlerville, MI headquarters (about an hour northwest of Detroit) in 2007.
But the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of pounds of Bibles and Christian books—and the labor it took to send them—came from committed, caring folks just like you taking a moment from their day, a Bible from their bookshelf, and a dollar from their wallet to change the world.
Come and join our merry band in 2008!
