We  are participating in the "Bare Your Shelves" campaign. 

This program allows Christians in America to directly assist needy brothers and sisters in Christ overseas with Bibles, Bible study materials and such.  We requested a package and it came today! 

Inside was a special overseas airmail bag, directions and the request letter from a Christian student in Nigeria, Africa.  You keep the request letter as a reminder to pray for your reciepent, and pack 11 pounds (or more) of materials.  The directions clearly state how to pack it properly so it goes through customs without problems.  You mail the box off (estimated postage cost is $15 for 11 pounds, but I'm not sure if that was figured before or after the rate increase) directly to the person.  Most requestors are pastors or Bible students in Africa, Asia, or other dangerous countries.

Simple, and everlasting.  Does it get any better?
