RECORD YEARS-RECORD OPPORTUNITIES
Our past two years were record breaking, phenomenal years. Over 200,000 books were shipped, dozens of schools helped, giving records broken, building repairs made, partnerships created, and more. Additional schools are asking for help. Thank you for the faithfulness of all involved-volunteers, prayer partners, financial supporters, and those with words of encouragement. Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
