What About: South Sudan

As “sheltering in place” has become the norm for us here in the United States, see how this virus is affecting our mission partners around the world.

Close to the time when I first got to the ICE detention center, there weren’t many Spanish Bibles here, and there was a big, big demand for it. I went down to the sidewalk and I was just giving LHF Spanish Bibles to everyone walking by, the next thing I know I’m out of three cases of Bibles. One day I was passing by the kitchen, and one of the kitchen workers stopped me and said ‘The Bible you gave me a couple weeks ago was the best gift I’ve ever received. It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received my whole life.’ I see the Gospel totally changing people’s lives.
