Around the Shop

(February 4-6, 2008) – The BPS printshop was involved in a special Scripture workweek with the members of First Baptist Church. The shop was in operation for 12 hours each day with the web press, glue binder and saddle stitcher all in production. With the help of over 30 volunteers throughout the three day period, there were 700,000 English John & Romans printed on the press; 80,500 Portuguese New Testaments bound on the glue binder; and over 143,000 John & Romans in English and Swahili were assembled on the saddle stitcher. There were an additional 124,000         English and Swahili John & Romans finished in the church Fellowship Hall by the church members.

(February 5, 2008) – A container of Scriptures was loaded today and sent to Pastor Ruben Sulapas in the Philippines. The container was shipped with 216,300 Cebuano John & Romans and 30,000 Cebuano New Testaments.

(January 18, 2008) – We had the privilege today of sending over 274,000 Scripture portions to Missionary Rick Martin in the Philippines. This included 34,713 Ilonggo New Testaments, 97,800 Ilonggo John & Romans, 120,780 Waray-Waray John & Romans and 21,300 English John & Romans.

BPS: Summer Recap

The following is an article from our September, 2007 newsletter. If you would like to sign up for our free newsletter, please call Michele Parker at (513) 575-1706.

Luke 3:6, “And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.” John the Baptist preached that Christ was coming and all flesh shall see that He is salvation. The quest is still the same, all flesh needs to see the Christ that did come and die for man’s sin is salvation. How shall they hear without a preacher? How shall we preach without the Word? The desire and goal of First Baptist Church and Bearing Precious Seed is to glorify God and help others to see Him and glorify Him. Our desire is to get His Word to those without it to introduce Him to them. All flesh needs to see Christ. All need His Word to know Christ. The need of God’s Word in every language to every people group is paramount. We desire to partner with and help those who are translating and laboring for every creature to receive the Word of God in their language.

Bearing Precious Seed prints in every language with the same goal-Him! It is the responsibility of God’s people, the church, to provide the Word for those without it. This task can be accomplished if we labor together and strive together for His glory. We must partner through prayer and cooperation in printing, distributing, and providing the Word of God to all people groups.

We have seen the Lord do some glorious things in the past couple of months at Bearing Precious Seed. We’ve seen Him supply for over one million Swahili scriptures to be printed in just nine days. We’ve seen Him provide churches, through the Seedline ministry of Bearing Precious Seed, to help get these scriptures prepared to be sent to those who have requested them for distribution. We have seen God open doors abundantly to involve a great number of churches in providing their missionaries with scriptures.

There was a great harvest of souls and stirring of God’s people through the ministry of Bearing Precious Seed in El Paso this summer. This location in Texas is used to expose teenagers and laymen to the mission field of Mexico. There are trips planned throughout the summer months, as well as other times of the year, for the purpose of scripture distribution and soul winning services. If you would have interest in using the property for a teen mission trip, singles mission trip, or a staff mission emphasis week, please let us know. We’re presently scheduling for 2008 trips. Don’t miss out on these opportunities.

If you have scripture needs, or your missionaries have scripture needs, please call us. Scripture is available that needs to make its way into the hands of the lost.
