In a nursing home in Memphis, TN, a woman sits in her wheelchair and listens to an Audio Bible. As she hears the Word of God spoken to her for the first time since she lost her sight, her face lights up and her eyes begin to twinkle. What she once thought she had lost forever has been returned to her.

“I wish you could see it. It’s like Christmas morning when you see the expression on their faces and how their eyes light up when they hear the Word of God spoken to them,” Jane Wiley told us recently. “It’s such a blessing. It never ends.”

Jane and her husband, Wendell, run a special ministry in Tennessee that helps “the blind to see” by providing Audio Bibles and other services to the elderly in nursing homes across more than 3 counties. Today, Jane needs your help. “We need more Audio Bibles,” Jane says. “We have only one or two left.”

That’s why I’m writing to you. I need you to help us provide more Audio Bibles for the blind that Jane and our other ministry partners are serving across this nation. We have dozens of ministry partners like the Wileys who distribute Audio Bibles to the elderly, the blind, and the print handicapped, but perhaps not one of them has overcome greater obstacles than Jane and Wendell. Maybe that’s why I am so moved by their dedication to this ministry.

You see, not long ago, the Lord took the Wiley family through what they call “The Storm.” Within a few short months, Jane and her husband suffered a terrible car accident that broke Jane’s back, they almost lost their son to a nearly fatal cerebral hemorrhage, and together they faced a serious diagnosis of cancer for Wendell. Any one of these tragic events would have been enough to break many families, but the Wileys had to face them all at once! Even so, they knew they weren’t alone in “The Storm.”

“We don’t get through this world by ourselves,” Jane says. “He sends His angels to minister to us. They will lift us up over those rough places. Every part of my life, God has put together for His plan.”

“For He shall give His angels charge over you,To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up,Lest you dash your foot against a stone.” (Psalm 91:11-12, NKJV)

Today, the Wileys are stronger than ever. Even though her doctors said she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, Jane is now walking again, thanks to a metal rod in her spine. We’re also thankful to report that her husband’s cancer is in remission!

Jane and her family have faced tremendous challenges, but they still reach out to help others. Your support will help us provide the Audio Bibles Jane needs to give hope and joy to the blind.

Your gifts will be a personal encouragement to Jane and the visually impaired people she serves.

Imagine the look on their faces and the sparkle in their eyes when they receive the Audio Bibles you have generously provided!

“God brings so many people together at Aurora Ministries, and then He weaves it together into a beautiful tapestry,” Jane says. “We are the threads underneath the pattern. Aurora Ministries is part of that pattern.”

When you generously support the ministry of faithful partners like Jane, you become a part of that pattern, too. Please don’t let the Wiley’s service to the elderly come to a halt. Help us send the Audio Bibles they and other partners need to provide God’s Spoken Word to the blind.

When men and women age and lose their sight, many of them feel that they have lost everything. They can no longer see their grandchildren’s faces, read love letters from their spouse, or look into the eyes of their children. But as their vision begins to fade, the prayer on their lips is simply, “Please, Lord, don’t take your Word away from me...” This is the prayer Jane hears over and over again in her ministry, and it’s the prayer she lives to answer.

“Please tell your friends and partners that if they could spend one day with me, they would know how many lives they’ve touched,” Jane says. “They would know the impact they have... Then they would know it’s worthwhile.”

Help our ministry partners like Jane to share God’s Word with those who can no longer read it for themselves. Please send in your most generous gift to provide Audio Bibles for those who need them most.

“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way.”

(2 Thessalonians 3:16, NKJV)
