The container sent to Mombasa, Kenya full of Bibles et al was greeted by many who came to help unload and unpack. They laughed and cried when they saw the abundance of blessings God has sent through your generosity. While the book store they prepared is a bit too small, they have already begun the construction of more space and bookcases.
Simultaneously, the GAP Ministry’s work with homeless children has begun. Bably wrote on February 2nd, “You can see how these homeless children’s are flowing to our church. They were 22 in number…..We have also introduced the feeding program every Sunday.” Garrett emailed us to say, “…. Everything is a work in progress. But the kids are the ones from the slums we are trying to build a partnership with them and encourage them to come to church by providing free clothes and food.”
The word of this bounty and the invitation to the children to receive care has already traveled through the region making the prospect for success look very promising. The success of the Bible Store will keep the GAP children’s program growing. Thank you for helping make this possible. We are hopeful for another shipment in the Spring. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we do.
Please continue to donate your Bibles, biblical study materials and literature (adult, teen and children) to us. The MBS office is at the side door on the property of Divinity Lutheran Church at 1220 Providence Road, Towson, MD 21286. For any questions please all Cathy Johnson at 410-685-4040 or email cjohnson@mdbible.org.

For over 200 years, the mission of the Maryland Bible Society (MBS) has been to see that every individual has an opportunity to own a Bible regardless of their native language or financial situation. Here in Maryland this mission has been mostly fulfilled. We now are turning our emphasis to encouraging and helping people read, understand and live out the truths and principles God has given us through His Holy Scriptures. As a non-denominational ministry, MBS is uniquely positioned to offer God’s Word without note or comment to Christians from all denominational backgrounds. This position allows us to work with all local Christian churches, serving and assisting them as they follow God’s lead.
MBS has and will continue to establish and build partnerships that promote the distribution of the Bible, supply related sources and provide educational opportunities. Our vision is to ignite fresh passion for God’s Word to be lived out in the daily lives of people in Maryland and the world beyond. God’s Word contains truths that speak to all of the important areas of our lives: family, marriage, work, friendships, finances and parenting. It serves as the ‘road map’ for the often-overwhelming experience of life. It is a comfort, an encouragement, a teacher. It is convicting, edifying and inspiring. The Bible reveals our purpose in life. The Creator of the Universe has given us His Word to guide and direct us as we serve Him and live in the world.
As we embark on this renewed vision, our desire is to impact lives. As God leads us on this great adventure, we invite you to partner with us. Lives will be transformed as the Holy Spirit works through the Scriptures, resources and opportunities provided by MBS. Join us as we ignite fresh passion for God’s Word among individuals, ministries, local Churches, and businesses.
