<div><b><span>Hi Rick,</span></b></div>
<div><b><span></span></b></div>
<div><b><span>We have probably distributed about 70 or more bibles this past year. These bibles are really getting used day and night. Something to consider is the reality of a maintenance factor on these bibles. Just like the water filters, there will be a percentage that will come back every year due to wear and tear. </span></b></div>
<div><b><span></span></b></div>
<div><b><span>The larger Proclaimer bibles given out about 2 years ago are starting to act</span></b></div>
<div><b><span>up and not holding their charge. We would really like to get more audio bibles soon. One lady lost her audio bible in a fire when her house burnt to the ground. She was the only one with an audio bible in her village of about 60 people. </span></b></div>
<div><b><span></span></b></div>
<div><b><span>Another bible was lost when a boat turned over in the rapids. The bible was found, but didn&#8217;t work anymore as it had water damaged.</span></b></div>
<div><b><span><br /></span></b></div>
<div><b>Clyde and Kelsie Bergquist</b></div>

<p></p>
<div><span><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div><span><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div><span><b><u>Here are some testimonies Clyde and Kelsie sent me this past year.</u></b></span></div>
<div><span><b><u>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</u></b></span></div>
<div><span><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div><span><b><u>Jeorge Rodrigues da Silva</u></b></span></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span>Jeorge listens to the Audio bible 2 times a day for up to 15 mins each time and all</span></div>
<div><span>day on Sunday&#8217;s.</span></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know the word of God before I obtained an audio bible. I have had a</span></div>
<div><span>big change in my life. I learned many things. For someone who doesn&#8217;t know</span></div>
<div><span>how to read the audio bible is really helpful. For those of us who resisted the</span></div>
<div><span>word of God or the gospel message, we can now listen and learn to like it. </span></div>
<div><span>If people continue to receive these bibles, there will be more spiritual </span></div>
<div>
<span>development and they will benefit.&#8221;</span><br /><span><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span><b><u>Osebio da Costa Silva</u></b></span></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span>Osebio comments that those who don&#8217;t know how to read need an audio bible.</span></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div>
<span>&#8220;This is a great invention. I listen to it once a day for 20 minutes. &#8221; </span><br /><span><br /></span>

<div><span><b><u>Katia Rejane da Costa Silva</u></b></span></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span>&#8220;I listen to my audio bible two times a day and have learned so much about </span></div>
<div><span>God and His Word.</span></div>
