Story number 3 for 17 Jul 2002

(Tanzania)–Tanzania-International Bible Society (IBS) is providing comfort and hope to the survivors and victims’ families of the late-June train collision that claimed the lives of more than 300 people. IBS ministry groups distributed New Testaments during burial ceremonies and will continue to distribute them in homes, hospitals and churches. The effort is being done in the hopes that the truth of the Scriptures will comfort people in their time of pain. Please pray that the seeds of the Gospel take root.
