Thank You ~ With your gift through the Bible League, you’re reaching more people in South America for  Jesus Christ.  Dina is using the Word of God you help provide to bring moms who work in the local    marketplace to faith in Jesus – and then helping them grow in their faith.  A group that began with just 2   or 3 people has grown to more than 20.  Dina is committed to helping them to read and understand  God’s Word and apply it to their lives.  Her group’s growth has even led Dina’s home congregation to start a daughter church.  Thank you for helping to build God’s Church in South America with your gift.
