Dear Sir, Rev. Brother in Christ Jesus our Lord, Most thanks and praise to our God Almighty. Firstly I would like to thank you very much for your kind support towards my ministry and the Lords' work that you gave me books and bibles for free distributions to the needy and poor people who cannot afford books. I am so glad that Jesus lifted me. He did it a very different way. While going out door to door for prayer meetings and praying for sick people, many many of our Fijian and Indian children were very happy when I handed them the materials even the adults, our brothers and sisters were very happy when I handed them the bibles. They offered me some donations of $6.44 which I used for travelling. This was a great blessing as I am a pastor living by faith. I always thank my Lord God looking after me and my ministry through the humblehearted person like you.
We have a few exciting testimonies from 2 institutions where we delivered materials from the last container. One is a Bible College and the other is a prison where God is really moving in a powerful way as a result of the materials that were distributed there and the Bible studies conducted by church workers who have been given the privilege to minister to prison inmates. Here is a testimony from a Hindu convert in prison.
"I am Sujit Kumarand I'm 27 years old. I was brought up in the Hindu religion worshipping idols and adhering to strict Hindu rituals and traditions. I thought that was all I could believe to make my life meaningful. It wasn't until I came to prison that I began to discover something new. A group of Christian workers distributed Christian literature and materials which caught my attention. Since there wasn't much to do in prison, I literally soaked myself into those Christian magazines and literature and I began to discover the love of God that was so personal and intimate. My interest in Christianity became intense and I joined a Bible study group where I made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. My life has changed and I know I will never be the same again. The challenge I have now is to share this experience when I leave prison and go back home. I know it won't be easy but nothing is impossible with God. Thank you very much for those books and magazines. I am enjoying it very much and they really help a lot in my Christian growth. Sujit Kumar.
This is another testimony from a prison inmate at one of our big prison in Fiji. "I have been very much encouraged and spiritually uplifted by the magazines I have read. What a blessing. Since I came into prison I have always had a low self-esteem and I thought I was good for nothing. I have done many terrible things in my life which I now regret. It was in prison that I came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and that has completely changed the way I see others. Now I know I have hope in Jesus and I want to thank you so much for sending those materials and resources which have helped greatly in my spiritual life. I cannot thank you enough. Sekove Tikomaiigiladi.
This is also the testimony of the Commanding Officer of the Nasinu Reformative Prison. "Spiritual development programs in the prison have brought great assistance and impact in the prisoners' attitude and behavior. This has been evident in the rise of their work output, a decrease in dysfunctional activities and a drop in escape rates when compared to various years. The introduction of inmates to Jesus Christ and the availability of these resource materials have proven to be the right medicine for these hard-core criminals."
Officer in Charge - Lino A staff member of the World Harvest Center Institute had this to say: "Thank you very much for the materials you sent. Actually these materials now form the bulk of our library resources and the magazines and kits on mission were particularly helpful. The students are using these materials in their World Mission Study and group discussion. They came at just the right time and what a blessing. They are very good reading and study materials and the students are enjoying it. Even the staff are also drawing from them. God Bless You! Semisi.

We have started distributing the materials using my home as the Distribution Centre. So far with almost half of the materials gone, churches and schools have been the recipients. I have consulted some ministries here who are working in schools as our partners in distribution using the existing networks they have. The ministry called Scripture Union is active in 54 high schools and 15 primary schools. We have given them materials that they will distribute to their Christian Fellowship groups that are active in those schools. The Christians in the schools will then share it out to their mates. We are also working closely with another ministry called Pacific Students for Christ. Their target groups are the students in our tertiary institutions like the Fiji School of Agriculture, Fiji School of Medicine, Fiji Institute of Technology, Fiji Nursing School, Fiji School of Advance Education (Teachers College) and the University of the South Pacific. We are using their networks to distribute these materials to the tertiary institutions. Churches are also receiving theirs. I have distributed materials to the Christian Outreach Centre which oversees about 15 local churches. The Indian Division of the Methodist church of Fiji have also been notified and we have put aside materials for them.They have about 20 local Indian congregations that they will distribute to. The Assemblies of God of Fiji has also received materials which they will distribute to their congregations. Prison Fellowship is also receiving material for use in the prisons. God bless you!!!
