Urgent appeal for Braille Bibles

Odile Ouedraogo was 18 when she encountered the Bible in Braille for the first time.
‘I cannot believe it!’ she cried. ‘I can read with my fingers in my language. This gives me such strength!’

Someone goes blind every five seconds.
314 million people in the world are either blind or cannot see clearly
The Bible in Braille lets people read God’s life-changing message for themselves, at their own pace, in their own way.

Find out how to make this happen at biblesociety.org.uk/braille or by calling 01793 418222.

Please pray:
‘I used to cheat in my exams, now I don’t,’ said 14 year old Adisa.
He is one of thousands of Ghanaian school students who have received Bibles as part of the ambitious project to distribute a million Bibles to Ghana’s youth.

Ama Sumani

I have received a reply to my protest to my MP about the distressing case of ama Sunami who was taken from her hospital bed when on dialysis to be deported to Ghana.

He says "I agree with you that this is a distressing case, however, I am also conscious that the NHS is under considerable strain and unable to providemany of my constituents with the services they require. I understand that the UK offered to pay the cost of three months of Ms Sumani's treatment in Ghana.

I have written to the Home Secretary to pass on your comments and will let you have a copy of the response I receive."

Ihad not heard of this UK offer to pay for her treatment in Ghana before now and, if this is so, it certainly puts a more humane interpretation on her deportation, doesn't it?
