We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Berean office to see an abundance of mail. As we arrived just after 9:00 am there were already a lot of volunteers hard at work. At 9:30 am after the prayer Marvin gave us an update on his trip to Michigan.
Skip left for Sam's club to pick up 4 boxes of envelopes and another box of paper as we were short of both of those. Last week he sent 240 Bibles out to chaplains and this week he put Sharon to work getting 10 sets of each of the basic and 5 sets of each of the intermediate studies for the Tazewell county jail. A bit later Jerry showed up to pick up more studies. It turned out he was picking up for the men in that jail while Sharon was getting the studies for the women in that jail. We really need a stronger rack that can hold 300-500 of each of the 50 studies. We can only put in a hundred as the rack can't hold the weight of more. Jerry made a rack for Tazewell for 100 studies. IF Skip can't find a strong one for sale I'm pretty sure Jerry would be willing to make one for this office. Once the studies were finished most of us migrated out to the front office to work on wrapping Bibles.
We were kept busy today. Below is a video of our morning.
We had a couple Bibles returned this week with the note this prison does not accept leather bound books. Our Bibles are not leather. Marvin wrote a letter to appeal their decision. Hopefully we will hear back and these prisoners can have their Bible.
