bible.

Greetings in Jesus name,

 

 May this letter find you blessed in Christ. I am writing from West Africa and it is a blessing getting to you in the other part of the world. It is my prayer that you become a friend of me and the local church here.  I got your email when I searching online and got into the web site and I know that it is God's arrangement. I need not silver or gold but the word of God only!

 

By His grace I am a Believer bought and washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ. I am married with three children. I am a pastor of a small local church non denominational or affiliated to anybody. The church was founded in 2006 and now has about 30 members. I gave my life to Christ in 1987 when I was still in the high school at Zaria. A campus fellowship student by name Johnson was my roommate at school and his life of faithfulness unto Christ and his prayer and teaching me the Bible led me to Christ. This Brother told me then that he sensed that God was going to use me for His cause. I was never ready to hear that because my dream or thought was never in the ministry but to finish my studies and get a nice job. Five years after school and already working I started having the stronger urge and sensing that God was calling me but I kept on putting it off my heart because my job and life was sweet to me and I felt I needed nothing else. One day a guest speaker was ministering in our church and he singled me out in a crowd of over a hundred people and told me that God has called me to the ministry and cannot hide. After he left I told my pastor that I have accepted and my pastor and other elders of the church prayed with me. I immediately joined and headed the evangelical outreach of the church and I saw many coming to Christ in the outreach. I let go of my job in 2005 and returned to Edo my State. I joined a small local church and was assisting the pastor as the second pastor. In January 13th 2007 a pastor of a little church of about five families in my area walked up to me telling me that he is leaving the state to his home state where the Lord has asked him to go and start the work. He said he has been praying for over a month that the Lord has asked him to tell me to take over the little church he founded 2006. I have not had relationship with this pastor before now so it amazed me. He asked me to pray to ask the Lord. I did prayed and without wasting time I knew the Lord ask me to hold that little church and that was how I became the pastor of this church called Victory Chapel. The church is a growing church and we meet at a temporary rented building. We are not earthly rich but rich in Christ, riches that will last for eternity.

 

2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". The reason why I am writing is to appeal for your assistance in the area of a Study Bible which will be of help to me in my research and study of the bible as well as lesson preparation as a pastor. My request is for your help for 4 copies of Large print Dake Annotated Reference bibles. The only bible I have is a large print which is already torn and some pages missing. I bought it the year I gave my life to Christ. The Dake Bible has a lot of study helps and commentary on bible verses and good for those seeking much understanding of God's word. I need the large print due to my reading difficulty. It cost much here and we cannot afford it. I need 1 and 3 for my church elders helping to coordinate the church. They have no bibles. I came to know about the Dake Annotated Bible when an elder in my church received it from his relative studying in South African. The young man bought it from Christian Books Distributors and they shipped to South Africa and he then sent it to Nigeria. The link for where to find the bible as I have searched is http://www.christianbook.com/kjv-annotated-reference-bonded-leather- burgundy/9781558291201/pd/61202/1298564049?event=AAI. This is the exact large print Dake sent to him and it has a larger print making it easier to read and a leather cover making it durable for a life time gift and use. The bible is in King James Version English.
