    I came from Thailand and I ‘m christian from Sathron Church. In my church I did soccer ministry with people around the church. Now I lived in Norman,Oklahoma for study and improve my english skill.
    When I have saw and read your website, I interested. In my country I was a partime staff [for teaching a soccer skill and playing soccer] in Thailand Christian Sports Association.

    Dear in Christ, I greet you in the most highly exalted name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has privileged me to send this e-mail for your kind co-operation for the extension of the kingdom of God. If God inspires you please have your involvement in the way God enables you and strengthens your hand. Years are passing very quickly. We know that our dear Lord’s coming is very imminent. We are seeing the signs of His advent. But still there is still a lot of Gospel work to do. A number of precious souls are perishing before our eyes with out knowing Jesus. Our ambition is to reach every nook and comer and promote the Gospel to every perishing soul. In this regard I request you to have your involvement in the way that our Lord inspires you and enables you. You know that India is a country of idolatry and superstitions. Indians worship more than 35 million gods and goddesses. Out of one billion Indians only 2.4% are Christians. There have been endeavors to root our Christianity from India. We sense that in the coming days the doors for Gospel work in India will be closed Christianity will not be allowed. Before that happens we wish to do as much Gospel work as we can and save as many perishing souls as we can. In this regard I request you very humbly to have your partnership in the Gospel work in India. If it is possible for you please visit India to share the Gospel with our people, community activities and encourage missionaries to visit India in teams to have a thunder bolt on the darkness of the enemy and lead many in the light of salvation. Your regular prayers are more important. Jesus said to Peter in John 21:15-17 “ Feed my Lambs”. We believe that it is the will of our Heavenly Father to feed His Lambs. The Organization deals with organizes, help the aged and the widows, health care etc., please encourage me with your kindest reply for which God will surely reward you. I await your kind reply prayerfully and hopefully. Thanking you, yours Brother in the wonderful love, Sukumar .S, INDIA.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    REQUEST FOR BIBLES

    We are Save The Poor International (SPI), a Non- profit making and Non-Governmental Organization registered and based in Ghana with registration number G. 18, 462.

    The above named organization has been in existence for a while and has been responsible for helping the needy such as the aged, widows, widowers, physically challenged and orphans. For the past two years, these people have been helped both physically and psychologically.

    We also felt the need to feed these people spiritually with the word of God. Due to this, our organization has started buying Bibles for them, but our resources are not enough to cater for them all.

    We are thus appealing to you to lend us your support by donating as many Bibles as possible to make our programmes successful.

    The organization has been able to enroll two hundred (200) and above needy people whom we are currently working with.

    We are seeking for Bibles in the English Language for our programmes.

    We hope this humble plea would be considered in the name of our maker.

    We would be grateful if you could send your donations by air.

    Thanks for your ceaseless co-operation.

    Yours faithfully,

    Mr. Kfi Manu

    Dear In Christ,
    I am very grateful to write you this letter, requesting you to send me 20 copies of the Bible distribute to members of the children department of JAF MINISTRY and other well- wisher in order to boost the spiritual growth of our members.
    . This is due to the fact that there are inadequate supplies of Bibles and christian literature books to carry out our educational and evangelical activities effectively.
    I am therefore requesting you to send us Bibles to work for the Lord while there is yet time.
    I want to end here with much greetings.
    please here is my address;
