Please Pray

It's 4:00 in the morning (ugh!) and I am leaving the house to get down to DC for today's literature distribution at the Pentagon. This is something that the military chaplains there are doing; I just get to represent the Banner, and help. Thanks to the many of you who have donated to the Book Fund, that made it possible for us to donate all of the books for this event. Please pray for me, for us, throughout the day. Many thanks.
By the way, our time at this year's PCRT (Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology) at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia was great. Grace & peace ... Steve

ADDENDUM, Monday night, April 30th: Thanks for praying. It was a good day. The book titled, "The Promise," was by far the most popular one that seemingly everyone was interested in getting. We ran out early, which is great because it's the perfect book for this type of an event. Are you familiar with it? Oh, you should be, as a wonderful means of introducing someone to the Christian message. I'll write more soon. Steve

Steve,

Thanks to the Banner for doing this (and to you, brother, for getting up so early!). When I was a chaplain in Desert Storm, I noticed that the UK arm of the Trust had supplied books to Her Majesty's forces' chaplains. I wrote the Carlisle office to see if we could get a similar deal for the chaplains endorsed by the Presbyterian & Reformed Joint Commission on Chaplains. The Trust graciously helped us, and the books were greatly used. I remember seeing reports of the Lord using Flavel's "Mystery of Providence" from several of the chaplains when they distributed that book amongst the troops.

Yours in His Service,

John

Thanks for the comment, John. It is a good thing that we are able to do, I so agree, with ultimate thanks to the Lord, certainly, as well as to the many people who donate money to the Banner of Truth Book Fund. That fund covers the expense of the books and makes the whole thing possible. I'm glad to hear of the Lord working during your Desert Storm experience, too. Thanks.
Steve
