When I read those words from Susan, an elderly woman who recently received an Audio Bible, a lump caught in the back of my throat. This is what our ministry at Audio Bibles For The Blind is all about: giving the wonderful gift of God’s Spoken Word with no expectation of anything in return.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. When you support Audio Bibles For The Blind, you give a wonderful gift that lifts up spirits and offers encouragement to some of the most vulnerable members of our communities.

When an elderly woman like Susan loses her eyesight, it’s easy for her to start to feel lonely, isolated, and forgotten. But because you make it possible to give her an Audio Bible, Susan knows that she is not alone. She knows that people like you care about her, and she has God’s Spoken Word as proof that she is far from forgotten.

Every single day, we receive dozens of requests for Audio Bibles to go to people like Susan who lose their eyesight as they age. Others have been blinded in an accident, while still others bear the effects of degenerative diseases that claim their vision.

Until now, we have been able to fill immediately each request as it comes in to us. But for the first time in the history of this ministry, we are exceeding our capacity. Soon, we will have to start turning people away. There simply aren’t enough funds to cover the growing number of requests that flood our mail.

I can’t bear to think of the day that I have to turn to a woman like Susan and say, “I’m sorry, we can’t help you.” I don’t want that day to ever come. And I believe that you don’t either.

A gift from you would help ensure that we don’t ever have to turn away someone seeking encouragement and support from God’s Spoken Word. Please, give today.

Tell the Susans of our ministry that they are not alone, that they are far from forgotten. Lift up their spirits with the encouraging words of an Audio Bible.

“We need so much to hear God’s Word during these troubled days––all over the world. This will surely help to lift up my spirits,” Susan wrote in her letter.

Our days are troubled, and the promises of God’s Word give the encouragement we need to face the challenges of each new day and to find hope in the midst of all trials. That’s why it’s so important that we continue to give away Audio Bibles to those who are blind and print handicapped. They can’t read the promises of scripture for themselves, but they can surely listen and store the hopeful words in their hearts!

Susan knows this. And you know it, too.

Susan would never be able to afford to buy her own Audio Bible. Neither would the many others who receive this special gift from Audio Bibles For The Blind. Though the Audio Bibles are given freely, they don’t come free to us. Your support is what keeps this ministry alive.

Thank you, for your faithful generosity. Without friends like you, this ministry would be little more than “a nice idea.” Your support is what turns the idea of our ministry into tangible action that brings hope, encouragement, and reassurance to thousands of Susans across the country and around the world.

Serving Him,

Joseph Aleppo
