Lloyd Borden says he was glad to see the story on TAB’s Nov. 12 page 1 about Love Packages, a ministry that ships Bibles and other Christian literature all over the world.
Lookout Mountain Baptist Association, which he serves as director of missions, has been collecting for Love Packages for several years now.
“I heard about it from my brother and his wife in Cullman,” Borden said. “Now, every quarter we put out the call for churches to bring their used literature in. It’s been very good.”
Alongside the recent TAB article, TAB’s editor, Jennifer Davis Rash, also put out the call for churches, associations or individuals to bring in donations to help Love Packages meet its goal to send 2,020 tons around the world in 2020.
And readers responded.
In the past month, a number of church groups have dropped off boxes of Bibles and literatures at The Alabama Baptist’s offices in Homewood.
“I’m so excited to see the tremendous response from Alabama Baptists donating Bibles and Christian literature to Love Packages,” Rash said. “We are honored to serve as a drop-off location for the current collection project. It’s one more way we can serve as a ministry partner and help disciple believers worldwide in a practical way.”
If you or your church has materials that fit the criteria (see lovepackages.org for a list of what to include and what not to include), you’re invited to participate by dropping them off at the TAB office at 3310 Independence Drive in Homewood or at the Love Packages collection center in Decatur.
