Bibles Torn

Danie from Bible Society of South Africa reports on his trip to Madagascar:

"The pastor (in orange shirt) saw much fruit through the Proclaimer. I visited the rainforest in 2005 just for two hours. We had to fly in with a helicopter. Knowing that we were coming, the people invited pastors from surrounding villages. Some of those pastors walked for three days with their families, through bush, mountains, rivers, and rain to come and listen to me for one hour.

"After I shared the Word of God with them I noticed that one pastor had a small book in his hands. I had a suspicion that it might be a Bible. When I asked him what it was, he confirmed that it was his Bible. It looked tattered, and I could see that there were many pages torn from it. I asked him if it was the whole Bible; he replied that it was only a portion of the Bible. He explained that one Bible had to be shared with other pastors so that each had something to read and preach from. He himself only had a section from the Old Testament.

"I was touched so deeply because in the Western world the average Christian household has several Bibles in different forms of publication. And here, where the Gospel is most needed, pastors have to share portions of the Bible so that they have a tool to preach from. I also saw pastors there who have no Bible. They were going to  preach, repeating what they heard from me."
