150 000 copies free children's books
On Christmas eve 38 churches and Christian organizations received from New Hope free children books, which were kindly given to us by Cook Communications Ministries. These are the books: "Children prayers", "Six busy days" and "Picture Bible". Churches and Christian organizations that received these books distributed them in public schools, orphanages, kindergartens, schools for kids with special needs and children clubs. During few weeks 150 000 books were given out.
We would like to thank from all our heart everyone who took a part in publishing these books and distributing them. Let God bless richly all donors and everyone who spreads God's Kingdom among children!
Here you can find more photos from the event.
We have received many responses from those who received these books. Here some of them:
From me personally and from the kids in my class I would like to thank the authors, publishers and sponsors of the books "Picture Bible" and "Six busy days". We are very thankful to the "New Hope" organization and to the "Cook Communications Ministries" for giving us an opportunity to have these wonderful books. These books are very useful for the kids and a good help for the Christian ethic teachers, because of the easy and neat way of information giving, understandable for the children.

I liked the books "Picture Bible" and "Six busy days" because they contain wonderful pictures, I look at them and reflect on what they mean. I have learned a lot about creation and life of Jesus from these books.

I liked the books "Picture Bible" and "Six busy days" very much. Every page of these books contains great pictures. These books help me to become close to Jesus. They are wonderful, have bright pictures and interesting stories about our God.

Peace from God to you, our dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
Fulfilling Christ's commend to "...preach the Gospel to all creation" (Mark 16:15) we want to thank the Lord and those who was a part of the wonderful publishing and distributing project on giving out the unique children's books: "Children prayers" , "Six busy days" and "Picture Bible".
Our church of Christians of Evangelical Faith shares the Gospel with children not only in Sunday schools, but in the orphanages, to the street kids, taking part in evangelistic and mission projects. Some Christian ethic teachers use these books on their lessons in public schools.
Hope to continue to collaborate with you!
