BOOKS ON THE MOVE!!!
Thanks to those of you who contributed to and/or prayed for books to support
Tarcisio’s ministries in Zimbabwe!
Theological and other Christian books will be put to good use at the Evangelical Theological College. The books may also help the college move towards accreditation. In another part of Tarcisio’s ministry, children’s books will help the little ones hone their English language skills.
We collected 135 boxes of books at Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church.
A special ‘thank you’ goes out to Phil Haugen, Mark Jackson, and Bruce Munson who spent an afternoon loading, transporting, and unloading these boxes
(and another 99 boxes from the Wheaton College Library).
The books are now at Tyndale, who graciously agreed to palletize, shrink wrap, and hold for pick-up more than 200 boxes of books.
The journey continues…
