The “Reading Post” Book Project
Children’s Offering (January - June)
In a country in Southeast Asia, most children do not have any books to read. We are beginning a project to supply an entire village with a “Reading Post” library filled with 200 books for families to take home and read. People in this country do not know about Jesus, so having this little library gives the Christians who take care of the library an opportunity to tell people about Jesus and how to become a Christian.
