Nigeria Container Arrives, South Africa Container Sent
After many prayers from Christians throughout the U.S. and overseas, the second Nigerian sea container arrived at its intended destination (Abakaliki, Nigeria). Satan tried to block the Bible studies from finding starving souls, but the door which God opens cannot be shut. Thousands of Bible studies will now begin to flood Nigeria!
Mission Printing’s volunteer coordinator Reuben Egwu was so delighted to receive this shipment that he endured many obstacles and sleepless nights. In the very middle of all these trials, Reuben’s wife had complications delivering their newborn. Reuben made two special trips to Lagos (800 miles roundtrip) to convince the authorities to allow the shipment into the country. Mission Printing is very proud of the great courage and fortitude that Reuben displayed in making this container shipment a success. He has helped his brethren to gain the tools for spreading the gospel throughout Nigeria. Mission Printing congratulates Reuben for a job well done in the service of the Master!
Abakaliki, Nigeria: Holding room for the Mission Printing material. Reuben Egwu will work diligently to distribute all of the studies to people that are starving for God’s word.
On July 6, Mission Printing sent its first sea container to Cape Town, South Africa. Rohan Jones, our volunteer coordinator, is very excited regarding the studies which are about to flood his country. We sent 1,035 boxes weighing an outstanding
39,399 pounds! That is over 750,000 Bible studies that will now be in the hands of lost souls and Christians growing in the faith! God bless everyone that supports Mission Printing, whether financially, spiritually, or physically! God is working through you and Mission Printing.
VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOMED! Monday-Thursday
8:00 AM-2:00 PM
Arlington, TX: (l) Will Vann, Jeff Norman, and Alison Norman (Highland C of C) helped load the container. (r) Bruce Carroll (Crowley C of C) runs our forklift.
SPRING BREAK & SUMMER 2011
TEEN & PRE-TEEN WORKERS
Mission Printing has been blessed once again this year with young people willing to serve. I am honored to know the young people that labor with Mission Printing. They are a part of the Mission Printing family!
God is at work in the next generation! Never let the world or Satan convince you that the next generations are hopeless and that we should give up on them. The young people involved with Mission
Printing are willing to work, learn from those around them, and fellowship with Christians a “few” years older than themselves.
We were blessed with even more willing workers than in previous years. If you know any of these young people, please give them a hug and encouraging word. Each of these precious souls is a true asset to the kingdom and the future of Mission Printing.

I want to say that I was filled with joy when I received your consignment after waiting anxiously. The selection of Bible studies was well chosen for my work in this region.
Takoradi, Ghana Funkoe Church of Christ Joseph Eshun
This is my report for this year’s first quarter. I am happy sharing with Mission Printing because you are valuable to me. You have always been supportive to me, ever since I was called into this work of our Lord as a Minister. Just keep praying for the work and us, especially now that I am handling two congregations.
Chennai, India
David Martin
Greeting to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We received the three boxes of books that you sent. The books are very useful for the spirit. They are being given to the Bible colleges in Chennai and churches of Christ.
We are praying for all the saints who contribute to this wonderful work for God’s glory.
Kumba, Cameroon
Big Bekondo Church of Christ
The Big Bekondo Church of Christ appreciates the marvelous work Mission Printing is doing in Jesus name. May God continue to bless this work. We wish to apply for books and tracts. We are still a young congregation and it is very far to the city. We thank our preacher for his hard work.
May God bless all that are involved in Mission Printing. Please pray that God should strengthen our preacher Etongwe Etienne Nicholas.
Arlington, TX: Glen Tattersall, missionary to Tasmania, Australia, and Chua Geoh Soon of Malaysia were visiting the U.S. and helped us load the sea container for Nigeria.
We never know when and where God will use us; we just have to be ready like these two brothers in Christ.
Kadoma, Zimbabwe
TC Munetsi
Thanks for the box of tracts which I just received today! May our good Lord keep on blessing you.
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM A WORKER IN THE HARVEST FIELDS Ruth Orr
Lewisburg, TN
Thank you for always trying to fill our order of printed material we request. We use them every day for World Bible School students the world over.
When Prissy Sellers and I started going to Tombolombo, Malawi, we did not have a single tract of any kind to hand out. So the second year we went, we sent over hundreds of Mission Printing material weeks before we left. They were there when we arrived. When we went into the villages, people literally begged for more because they had never seen anything like these.
As we went into the Mzimba prison to work with inmates, we carried hundreds of Mission Printing studies for the prisoners. Many of these were put in the prison library for the prisoners
and guards to come in and read. We also put your songbooks in the prison library, and they are used for worship for the over
300 who have been baptized and worship each Lord’s day at this prison. They then go back to the library until the next worship day.
We have a full-time preacher who works with this prison and for the prisoners when they are released to help them get back with family and the outside world again. One prisoner was released while we were there last year, and he is now working full-time with one of the village congregations. They need tracts on the church and worship and many other things.
Thank you for the great work you do for the Lord.
