Bibles for Venezuela—Emergency Relief for Earthquake Victims
By Dr. Bob Garrett, Professor at Dallas Baptist University / Board member of Casa Bautista de Publicaciones Foundation
Baptists in Venezuela mobilized immediately last month to help earthquake victims in their communities. Now they are asking for Bibles, pamphlets that comfort, and Bible story coloring books for children. They already give assistance, and now they hope to add a reminder in the hands of traumatized friends that God loves them and will not forget them.
They need so many Bibles that it will cost US $80,000 to provide them and $8,000 more for shipping. Can you help us make this help from heaven arrive in Venezuela immediately?
Hope in the Midst of Crisis
In times of disaster, people need more than immediate physical assistance. They also need comfort, encouragement, and hope. By providing Bibles and Christian resources, local Baptist churches can place God’s Word directly into the hands of families facing fear, loss, and uncertainty.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1
For children, Bible story coloring books can offer encouragement while helping them discover God’s love in a way they can understand.
Help Us Put God’s Word Into Their Hands
Together, we can provide these much-needed resources and support Baptists in Venezuela as they care for their communities and share the hope of Christ.
Every gift can help bring hope to a family in need.
