She always wanted a Bible

By a volunteer to Central Asia

“I gave a gift of the Bible and JESUS film to a university student we met on the street,” a volunteer to Istanbul said. “She open the gift and pulled out the VCDs and the Bible. She looked at the Bible and said ‘I have wanted to read the Bible since I was 12 years old, but I have never had one.’ She thanked us for giving it to her, hugged us, and said that she was going to start reading it that day.”
