Bible day

Today is Bible day here in Honduras. A day to celebrate the Word of God and the power that it has for salvation, for transformation, for comforting, for manifesting love etc. A day to celebrate the freedom we have to own a Bible and be able to freely share the Gospel. A day to remember to pray for those nations where owning a Bible is illegal. A day to remember to pray for the translation of the Bible in languages that do not have Bible translation yet. A day to remember to pray for those persecuted for bearing the name of Christ. A day to be thankful for the written Word of God, for the ability to read it and study it.
The church participated in a parade today for Bible day. We made signs and marched from one village to the next singing hymns and then had a church service to finish off the evening. It's so neat to see the Hondurans rejoice in the freedom they have to own Bibles and share the gospel.
So, I want to ask you to pray...pray for those who have never heard the gospel, pray for those who are yet to have a Bible in their own language, pray for translation and translators of the Bible, pray for those who are persecuted for the name of Christ, pray for those who live in countries where owning a Bible is illegal, pray for those who will never own a Bible and memorize the pages they can get their hands on, pray for God's Word to penetrate hearts with the truth.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
