DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO - Aug 29/06
Rev. Glenn and Sandy Wilton, missionaries with the Africa Inland Mission in the Dem. Rep. of the Congo, while visiting the CSM office recently related the story of one of the Bibles they picked from CSM the last time they were home. A young pastor by the name of Awuli dropped by their home in the Congo one evening and was telling them about a NIV Study Bible that a friend was letting him use to prepare his sermons. Awuli was grateful that he had access to this Bible but he was not permitted to take it out of his friend's house. Sandy told Awuli that she had something to give him, going inside she got a NIV study bible which she had picked up from CSM and went out and handed it to him. He jumped off the porch clutching the Bible to his heart, dancing around the yard singing and praising God.

S. Gilbert Silchar wrote; I am really surprised and amazed of what the Lord has done for me! And how the Lord has done that. Your gift of a Bible Knowledge Commentary has created such an excitement among my friends that they started calling me "BKC". Thank you and thank you are just two words, which does not fully express my gratefulness to Christian Salvage Mission and to God my Redeemer. Thank you so much. &endash; I cannot give anything in return but it is my prayer that God will bless your organization and also the staff. May the Lord add to your ministry.

We Praise the Lord for the ministry of CSM for providing us some materials we needed most in our teaching ministry. As theology teacher it helps me expand my theological understanding, and as an addict student of the Word it gives me more information and know-how in my study of the Bible. &endash; The materials we received was very helpful in our Bible School and it was added to our "PASTOR LENDING LIBRARY AND RESOURCE CENTER". Our church goal is to penetrate the ARMM, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, by helping provincial churches with their missionary endeavor. &endash; Please pray for this ministry and with your help we can expand and extend it to other local churches.
Thank you once again and rest assured of our Prayers, God Bless, Pastor Deny Hallaris
