Thanks for being here – I hope you will find this letter a wonderful encouragement!

I saw this quote on twitter recently:

We cannot force someone to hear a message they are not ready to receive. But we must never underestimate the power of sowing a seed.

That’s so true, isn’t it?

A seed can stay for a long time under the ground. It might look like it’s dead, but one warm day, a little shoot might break through…

Orange tree

Some of these will grow and bear a crop – maybe even 100 times what was sown. That’s an awesome return!

So don’t give up planting those seeds (books!).

Books in Kenya

Here’s some really wonderful news!!!!!

Five of our titles have now been printed in partnership with CLC Christian Bookshop in Kenya!

We will be having an online event next month to launch/celebrate this wonderful new project. I’ll keep you informed – you will be very warmly invited.

So many children there are desperate for an education and thirsty for books to read for fun (but will also inspire them to follow Jesus). Some of our books are set in Africa, so are a perfect fit!

Exciting, isn’t it? 🙂

Sunday School Prizes

Many older Christians will remember looking forward to receiving their Sunday School ‘prizes’ at the end of every summer term, and remember the blessing these books were on their lives. Sadly, many churches have given up this quiet way of blessing young people.

Too many churches now don’t have any children at all… but even if yours doesn’t, could you give books away for older people to pass on to their grandchildren? Or give to families who come to a Food Bank or similar?

People are thirsty for hope in this dark world – a simple child’s story can open their eyes to the Lord’s love.

We’d be really grateful for prayer for three particular things:

3. For more books into more young hands.

Thanks so much.
