I wish I could meet the person who provided me my Bible.

I wish I could meet the person who provided me my Bible. 
Dear,
Remember when you received your first Bible—your curiosity, excitement, and joy as you read God's Word for the first time?
Now imagine that you live in a country where God's Word is outlawed…where a Bible is something you never believed you could hold in your hands.
Here's the testimony of when Sadegh*, a Muslim background believer, received his first Bible.
Many years ago when I was young Muslim boy, I received a book; I couldn't have dreamed how great an impact and influence it would have on my life. I was completely unaware about of the great love of God. That truth within this book changed my life forever. The name of that book was "The Gospel of Jesus Christ."
The Gospel taught me that God Himself appeared as a human among us, not to punish us but to save us. (John 3:16) I never read, heard, or even imagined something like that could be true.
How could I keep this good news to myself?! So I began to share the message.
One day I hope to meet the person who provided me my first Bible. I will say."My sister or my brother, may our God in heaven bless you. The Bible you provided me changed my life and the lives of others."
If I am not able to know or meet them in this world, surely we will celebrate together in heaven.
You can provide this same kind of experience for other believers who still don't have a Bible. With your help this month, we will place a Bible into the hands of 20,000 people.
A trusted partner of Open Doors has provided an amazing $50,000 challenge grant hoping that you meet their gift to provide Bibles and biblical materials to persecuted believers around the globe.
Your gift will not only help meet the $50,000 challenge, more importantly, it will help unleash the power of God's Word in places where faith costs the most.
Thank you for being the sister or brother who provides a new or long-time follower of Christ with the blessing of owning a Bible.
$25 provides 5 Bibles for 2 families!$100 provides 20 Bibles for a Church!$250 provides 50 Bibles for a community!

Serving with you,
