Bible Distribution in Yei

Like so many things, buying Good News Bibles in Yei is extremely difficult. In fact, there are none anywhere. Our challenge was that we wanted to present each of our 102 new students with a Good News Bible hardback which we use in morning devotions each day.
We did some research and tracked some down in Uganda. A price was negotiated but they would not deliver until paid.
A quick email to friends in our home church secured a cheque payable to the Bible Society UK.
They then emailed Uganda and the Bibles were delivered to Missionary Aviation Fellowship.
MAF flew them up to us free of charge on 15th April and we handed them out in a special ceremony on 17th April when our vicar Rev David Williams was visiting.
It was a great occasion, for which we give thanks to all those who helped in one way or another.
