IBS-STL now Biblica

Send the Light, OM's original literature distribution ministry, became independent then merged with the International Bible Society two years ago, forming IBS-STL. This month, the organization announced their new name and unveiled a new website, Biblica.

"The blending of these organizations is a powerful combination," said Keith Danby, Biblica CEO. "It's not often that two ministries can come together with the potential to have such far-reaching global impact for the cause of Christ and the Bible."

Christian bookstore in Thailand

Thanks to the efforts of the OM team in Northeast Thailand, a well-stocked Christian bookstore has now opened—the only one of its kind within 100 miles in any direction! The shop is in a good downtown location and offers literature in both Thai and Lao. Recently, a volunteer team came from a church in New Mexico, USA, bringing hundreds of books, Christian t-shirts, bookmarks, and other items for the new bookstore. The group also visited orphanages and worked alongside small rural churches, performing puppet skits, dancing, and singing Gospel songs in rural schools, shopping centers, and orphanages. One team member provided a year's supply of nutritional supplements for the children in a small Christian orphanage that was in much need of that kind of help.

Praise God that these visitors were able to share the Gospel with hundreds, leaving an eternal mark of encouragement on the lives of so many local believers simply by working alongside them. Pray for other international groups that are coming to leave their mark, and for the permanent team to be able to follow up new opportunities.
