Tom Gilmer: April 2015 Prayer Letter
Dear Friends of Zion:
Your prayers and offerings continue to make our work possible. Thank you so much!
AUDIO BIBLES – Good News, Bad News, Continuity:
Mega Voice of Israel sent us a three-year report (2012-2014) of their production and distribution of the Portuguese Audio Bible Unit. Several strong mission organizations contracted 16,015 units of either New Testament, New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, or the entire Bible. These organizations were able to get the units into the Amazon Region and some African Portuguese-speaking countries as gifts carried in by people on mission trips.
The Brazilian manufacturing firm gave up on producing units in Brazil, because import taxes on basic materials made production costs so high people that needed them could not afford to buy them. Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) would be needed to import some units, which could be made available through the Trinitarian Bible Society of Brazil.
ISRAEL APPRECIATION MEETING
Our Friends of Zion Jewish Ministries office is working with Midnight Call Ministries toward the possibility of a Night of Israel (Noite de Israel) Appreciation Meeting in São Paulo in October of this year. Much planning will go into making this a success, reaching out to as many people as possible. An adequate auditorium must be located and will require the cooperation of many people.
May the Lord continue to richly bless you.
Yours for the Messiah,
Tom and Linda Gilmer
