90 Requests

We had 90 Bible request today. Robin, Chuck and David came in early and got those Bibles stuffed and wrapped which made it easy to finis the weeks work all today. Once the Bibles were wrapped Marvin and David came in the other room to read letters. Kathy came in and joined them. She not only reads letters but also writes the letters we need to send out.
 Marvin and Vonnie were kept busy opening the studies that came in today. 
 Chuck and mom were also kept busy not just opening the mail but applying labels. 
 Stephanie brought the lunch today which meant we also got to see Israel and Elisabet. 

They got to eat lunch with us. 
 We enjoyed the food but the fellowship at lunch is almost as good as Stephanie's meal.  
After lunch the rest of the Bible requests were finished so the rest of the Bibles could be labeled and ready for mailing. We had a great day!

Another Productive Day

The volunteers for Berean Prison Ministry are all top notch. It is a JOY to show up at that office each Tuesday to spend time working along side each and everyone. Today was no exception. We got everything done, the studies processed the letters read and the requests filled.
 Above Vonnie is opening and sorting the studies and below Jan is applying postage to the envelopes using our postage machine. 

 Above mom, Vonnie and Joyce are working on the studies and below Jeanette is applying the address labels to the envelopes then the envelopes to the studies while Dave and Kathy read the letters. Marvin is working on the computer printing out certificates for those that have finished all 50 lessons. 

 Above Chuck has just grabbed a cup of coffee before sitting back down to work on labels. Below the volunteers are wrapping and addressing the Bibles that went out today. 

 Above Bill is printing out the Bible postage and Below Kathy is smiling as she reads. 

 Above they are just finishing up the Bibles and Below Robin is finishing the studies. Robin keeps this room organized and gives everyone a job keeping them all busy doing the work correctly. She is a big reason why we have been able to get two days work done in just 1 morning. We are very thankful for Robin!
 It is amazing the work that gets done when everyone is working together. 
The saying "many hands make light work" is SO true. A big thank you to all who came today.

Postage Ink

We had a very good day at the Berean office. The Bibles were delivered WHEN we had muscle power. Mark, Marvin and Robin helped Eldon unload a pallet and a half of them stacking them against the wall.
 We had really good help opening the mail and applying labels. Chuck, Marvin L, Joyce and Vonnie went right to work opening the mail while Bill, mom and Marvin read letters. 


Robin worked on wrapping some of the Bibles, enough for today's mailing but the postage machine ran out of ink so we couldn't print off the stamps to mail them out. Bill ordered new ink and it should be here soon.  All of today and tomorrow's work got done today. I was thankful for the help.

Another Big Mail Day

Marvin bought and installed a new cabinet for the Berean office today. We needed more table space and this new cabinet will really help out by giving us room to put a lot of the supplies. Thanks Marvin!

 We had another big mail day today. Below Gertrude and Vonnie are hard at work opening the mail. 
 They were soon joined by Shirley, Chuck, and not pictured mom all opening the studies. 
 Joyce was put to work stamping envelopes. 
 Jeanette came in just a bit later and was bothering one of our readers (Marvin her brother) which caused Leila to laugh. Kathy (also not pictured) was our other reader today. 
 Jeanette took a couple stacks of studies out to the other room to work where Robin was busy wrapping Bibles. Bill had just arrived, he brought our printer ink. 
 We had a good crew working and got all of today's work done AND all of tomorrow's too. Below Marvin and Bill are working on the certificates.  
Thankful for another good day with great volunteers.
