Scott’s simple gift of the day #4

MegaVoice - Billy White
Today’s simple gift is SIMPLE! It’s this man in the picture above. This morning we biked to the village of Billy White. I really enjoy the quiet villages more than the cities. Billy White is quite a beautiful part of the country. We spent time in the village handing out solar powered audio bibles. Most the residence (Population 350) speak mostly spanish and some english. So we handed out the spanish translation. The first house we came to had a couple families in it. After handing out the audio bibles, this one man had the biggest smile on his face because he was now going to be able to listen the Good News. He was so excited I think he was about to cry, which honestly choked me up a bit. When leaving he said, “You all have giving hearts to do what you all are doing for people.”

So enjoy the picture above and I hope it brings a smile to your face.

We’re off to the border in about an hour. So come back later to see some pictures.

Peace,

    Glad to see the biking expedition is off to a good start. The part of the anatomy that you referred to is probably numb, therefore, doesn’t hurt anymore. :) Hope you are taking precautions concerning the hurricane. Tell me about the food the people eat. The idea of solar Bibles is terrific. Where did you get them? Think my circle would be interested.

    Later, Gator!!!

    Hey!
    I tried to email you at the acrossbelize address but it came back. I sent you one to your church address but I doubt you’re checking that. I just wanted to tell you that I’m thinking of you all and praying for you as you travel and do God’s work across an entire country. I’m proud to call you my friend! Stay safe and keep an eye on the weather!

    Be of good courage and know that you are loved! (I stole that from Ed DeLair! ;))
