I am very positively impressed with (your) vision and work. I appreciate
the thoughtfulness that evidently goes into the preparation of Scriptures
for various target groups. I was impressed with IBS vision for ministry
during the Pan-American Games. I hope that my nephew and niece will
join you. I think it is a better organization for a young couple to
join at this point. I want to encourage you in your ministry.
ED

This Bible has led me closer to God and helped me understand the bible
(easier to read). Now I Pray, Read the Bible everyday and I have a
better relationship with God
AL
Its nearly one and a half years since you sent me 8 Bibles at my request.
I didnt use them last summer as I didnt go to camp. This past week
though, I did take them to camp with me, they were given to campers
who had no Bible. My campers were so excited. It is such a good version
for young kids to start reading. Thank-you for the Bibles.

I have shared this New Testament and given it as gifts to some New
Believers in Christ. It is a very easy to read NT but I am also interested
in a New International Readers Version Bible. If you have a Bible
in this translation please send me 4 copies. I talked to people who
would be very interested in owning such a Bible. Where an ordinary
Bible is very hard to understand for new Believers Ive gotten very
positive feedback with this NT. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for the Bibles which Stan personally delivered. I've given
most of them away already. There truly isn't a gift I enjoy giving
more than a Bible to someone who is craving a deeper relationship
with God. I pray that your work will be successful in reaching many
people. God bless you. - Maria
Thank you very much for "The LifeLight" New Testaments. They will
be a great blessing to my students in Bolivia. I really like the translation
because it's very simple for English beginners to read. - Anna
We have a delightful young woman from Japan living with us. She has
experienced deep pain and loss in her young life. As we have shared
God's love for her she has been very open.... She seems to think that
she needs to rid herself of all doubt before she accepts Him. We have
encouraged her to walk with Him with the "faith" she has and then
He will show Himself to her in a more real way than we ever couldÉ.
Do you have an easy-to-read translation of the Bible in the Japanese
language? - Barb
I got "The LifeLight" New Testament in English and am wondering whether
you have it in the Romanian and Hungarian languages. My dentist is
from Romania, and our friends' mom is here from Hungary for a visit.
We would love to give her one in her language. - Martha
I am so thankful that there is an organization like LifeLight Ministries.
I was praying and inquiring where I could find Spanish Bibles. Then
your newsletter came in the mail! My daughter, together with eleven
other kids, went to Mexico during their study week. Thank you again
for helping us out. May God bless you. - Shirani
I have a few copies of "The LifeLight," and it is a huge HIT. Our
pastor visits about 100 businesses every Monday. He gets to know the
owners and hands out a business info sheet based on Christian principles.
I plan to give some of "The LifeLight" NTs to him to hand out there.
- Brien

I borrowed a copy of "The LifeLight" and loved it. Is there any way
I could get my own copy? I would also love to take the Bible correspondence
course. Thank you and may God bless you! - Ray (from a correctional
institution in Florida)
Thank you for "The LifeLight" NT which I received at MissionFest
in Toronto. Yesterday I was preparing a lesson for grade one and two
kids at church. I wanted to use a Bible version that would be understandable
to them, so I read the verses from the lesson in a few modern translations
and found that "The LifeLight" was the easiest to understand. I will
be using it often as I share God's precious Word with children. -
Katrina
I feel a lot of joy in my heart because I know that, even though
we live in a country where daily life is very difficult, God will
provide all my needs. I would like you to send me an NIV Bible in
Spanish. My financial situation does not allow me to send you the
money to pay for it. God bless you. - Clara (Cuba)
Thank you for the New Testament [The LifeLight] you have published.
I shared it with our Executive and they were very impressed. Praise
God for what you are doing! Thank you also for your newsletter. -
Wally (IBS Chapter, Minnesota)
July 2001
I am enjoying the "LifeLight" New Testament, which was given to me
at school. I would like to thank you for coming to our school and
presenting this book to the Grade 4 class. My sister would also like
to have one. My sister and I would like to be enrolled in the Bible
correspondence course. - Elijah
The resources that you are supplying are incredible. I have shown
the Bibles to some of the people I know, and I think we will be able
to use many of them. It seems as though you have reinvented the printing
press and are making the Scriptures available at a reasonable price
and in the common language. Keep up the good work. - Gavin
Thank you for donating "The Graphic Bible" to our church library.
It is a quality book that will be a great addition to the youth section.
May God bless as you serve Him. - a church librarian
The Scriptures are clear, in plain English. I have been helped by
the questions in certain chapters. I would like to enroll in a free
Bible correspondence course. - Vanessa
This New Testament has changed my life in a positive way and has
helped me very much to live according to the laws of the Bible. It
has transformed my life and helped me leave my evil ways, especially
alcohol, fornication and other useless activities, and helped me know
through the love of God that He gave us many things, especially the
death of Christ on the cross and to spread His glory on earth. I thank
the Lord Jesus that He is always present in my life. - Kouassi,
Ivory Coast (translated from French)
September 2001
Thank you for the New Testament; I will give it to Matthew, my worker,
a 13-year-old Samoan boy. There are four other students who also work
for me, for whom I ask four additional copies. Since 1973 Ive taught
ESL to Samoan students. Most of them value a copy of the Bible or
New Testament in English. - Bernard, American Samoa
The vice principal of a Christian school requested 175 Bibles
for their school. He writes: I was given several copies of your Bibles
by a staff memberÉand I would like to have a class set for each grade.
November 2001
I received a free copy of "The LifeLight" at the Christian expo
when I visited the new Christian radio station Joy 1250 booth. I teach
Sunday school and find this Bible unique and different. The two features
Im drawn to and know will be helpful for the children are the background
history of each book of the Bible and the highlighted "Great Verse
to Remember." - Carla
Enclosed is a cheque for the publication and distribution of the
Word of God. We appreciate the work that you are doing and pray that
God will bless your efforts in spreading His Word. - Morris
When Stan visited our church I picked up a golf booklet and "The
Life Recovery Bible." I have read the devotionals and have not been
able to put the Bible down; there is so much for me to learn. The
Bible is still the only book that tells us how we can be truly rich
and saved! - Gerald
I received a copy of "The LifeLight" from Joy 1250 Radio. I think
the pictures are great, the print is good, and the words are like
my language - easy! Thank you for printing an excellent New Testament.
Please send me more info on LifeLight Ministries. - Dave
I picked up a Seniors Devotional Bible at Mission Fest. Its simply
great; the print is good and I enjoy the devotional readings by various
authors. Enclosed is a small gift to be used where needed most. -
Anne
When Stan was in Yorkton this past summer, I obtained a "PathLight"
Bible and a couple of booklets. Enclosed is a cheque which I hope
will help your work. May God bless you and continue to direct you
in His work for His glory. - Freda
We hand out Bibles as birthday gifts and Sunday school prizes and
have found very appreciative recipients. This summer it was encouraging
at Bible camp to see the enthusiasm of campers who received their
own Bible to take home. Pray that they will continue to read them
and let theTruth transform their lives. - Dennis & Amanda (missionaries
in northern Manitoba)
We are in the business of presenting the Word of God through literature
that is free for the taking. Over the past twelve months we have distributed
about 7500 pieces of literature. Do you have some samples that would
be appropriate for distribution here? One thing we would like to do
is set up a Kids Corner, with literature for children. Often mothers
with children come into the chapel just for a place to sit down. -
John (airport chaplain)

I would like to enroll in the Bible correspondence course, I would
also love to get one of your New Testaments. I want to get to know
God more because I love Him so much. I am a prisoner and get out in
110 years. There are no books here, and getting a Bible is hard if
you have no money. - Randy
Can I have a "LifeLight" NT and a free "New Believers Bible"? I am
a high school student who just got saved. - Halee
I am a new "baby" Christian and am in great need of any literature
which would be helpful in my life. I am presently in a drug-rehab
centre and I am reaching out for help and prayer, - Richard
I have been a truck driver for twenty years. My boss recently gave
me a copy of "The Road Home" NT. Its an awesome book with stories
and Gods Word. Thank you for the work you do. - Richard
I have been reading the Bible, but Im seeking for purpose in life.
Maybe your Bible study will help me find my purpose in life and grasp
it. I need to see the Light and stay in the Light. - Vernon
Thank you so much for your wonderful ministry! We work in a large
junior youth group at our church and lead a small group of ten to
twelve kids once a month. We were shocked to discover that most of
these kids do not have their own Bibles, and some are reading King
James Version Bibles. We have been wanting to purchase Teen Study
Bibles for each of our youth, but just dont have the finances to
do so with the outrageous price of these Bibles in the stores. Could
you please send us ten or eleven Teen Study Bibles? - Youth Pastor
We have been blessed by your ministry. Each year our church purchases
fifty NIrV Bibles for the first-year attendees at our boys and girls
clubs. The Word of God is getting into the homes of many families
in and around our community. Thank you for your effort in keeping
Bibles affordable. I would like to get some more Bibles, especially
for women, to hand out to mothers at our retreat. - Brigitte
We picked up a Graphic Bible and a copy of "Who is God?" at the
Homeschoolers Conference in Winnipeg. One of my sons has hardly put
down the Graphic Bible. We are grateful for these resources. We gave
"Who is God?" to a mom whose son had recently committed suicide. She
has returned to the Lord and led her other two children to Christ.
Her husband doesnt say much, but he is listening. The box of "treasures"
[referring to the Hope for the Highway NTs) you sent us arrived today.

In Memory
Ryan Boitson 1986-2002
Forty-five Metamorphosis New Testaments were presented to The Edge
(a skateboarding park in Winnipeg) in memory of Ryan Boitson, who
died in a skidooing accident in January.
The inscription inside reads:
In loving memory of Ryan Boitson,
for whom skateboarding was a passion.
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For
what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Corinthians
4:18).
July 2002
Thank you very much for my book, "The LifeLight" New Testament. You
have no idea how much books like this are my best company. I hope
that this happiness that I feel gets back to you and to your friends
in more happiness and a healthy life. - Perla, Mexico
The Bible is beautiful! The illustrations are gorgeous and the print
is such that I can read it with my glasses. - Candice
Greetings in the joy of our Lord! A quick note of hello and to send
the enclosed donation. I am fully fascinated and joyful about your
mission. God bless your ministry! - Keith
I just reread your newsletter and the article about Edmonton MissionFest
and the unkempt young man picking up so much material. This would
"try" me, and I chuckled over the scene. Id be shocked (and glad)
if this happened at Missionfest in Vancouver where I always volunteer
and where I first noticed your ministry. I already have all the missions
I can possibly support and try not to get my name on mailing lists,
BUT heres to more "unkempt" and curious people coming to Missionfest
and finding LifeLight Ministries. God bless you and your endeavours
for Him! - Doreen
I received "The LifeLight" Bible from a friend at church. I really
love the way this Bible is set up, including the questions and answers
before each book - and it is easy to understand. I am still struggling
with drinking and drugs, but the more I read the Bible the more I
realize that there really is a God, and I know He is watching over
me, and I am growing more and more each day. May God richly bless
all of you and continue to be with you! - Caroline
Thank you for the Bible. I am a recovering alcoholic, in a rehab centre.
I came back to Christ about a year ago. I spend a good deal of time
with younger fellows in the programs, trying to show them the way
to Christ and answering their questions. Could you please send a few
more Bibles? - Michael
September 2002
This is what Ive been looking for [The LifeLight New Testament.]
Thank God! This is what my grandmother would like me to do, the way
she was trying to teach me when I was a little boy and a young man.
It teaches about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. May Gods blessing
be with you always. I would like to enroll in the correspondence course.
- Claude
I read about your organization in a newsletter my sister-in-law receives.
You have a wonderful ministry! I have five girls in my youth group
who recently got saved and dont have Bibles. They were saying how
great it would be to have Bibles they can understand, but we cant
afford to buy them. Could you please send me some for these girls?
- Noelle
Im really thankful for the Bible you sent me. I really appreciate
your ministry. I would like to order a a copy of Pathlight, My City,
My God and The Graphic Bible for distribution to my friends. -
Sam, Malaysia
By browsing the "web" we found just the right Bibles, the Spanish/English
NTs, for our missions team to take with them to Costa Rica for their
overseas leadership training experience, which included working at
a Christian camp. The team members had life-changing experiences,
which resulted in two members deciding to pursue overseas mission
work. - Eagle Bay Camp
November 2002
I am hereby requesting a Bible. I am a young man from Ghana who
wants to learn the Bible and preach the Gospel because it is my calling.
The Bible that I have is not up to the standard, so I am pleading
for you to send me a Bible for the work of God. - Justice, Ghana
I have been sentenced to five years in prison for drugs, anger and
violence. My life has been one big roller coaster, in and out of prison.
I really want to change and go straight with God. I really appreciate
the Bible, which I received from Indian Life, and I would like to
take your Bible course to help me with my spiritual journey to get
closer to Jesus Christ. - Nathan
It is so good that, even though we have different cultures, we
serve the same God, so we have the same culture in Christ. I am a
primary school teacher and also an evangelist serving in this area.
I speak English, French, Sereer, Wolof and some other languages. God
is doing wonderful things here. Could you send me some brochures I
can use? Keep us in your prayer. God bless you. - Dib, Senegal
Pastor Fummi from Nigeria requested twenty-five copies of "Women
of the Bible."
Jessica, Susan, Amber, and Julie wrote asking to be enrolled
in a Bible correspondence course. Jessica writes, I love to learn
about the Lord and meet new Christians like me. I especially like
to read the Bible and hear the amazing things that God and Jesus did
with one thought.
Roberto, a pastor in Cuba, wrote, A while ago we found out
about your organization through Christian literature that was being
given away by Raymond Dueck at Expo-Cuba Centre in Havana. We are
interested in knowing more about your ministry and establishing some
kind of fellowship link that would serve in the extension of the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please send me some Bibles for the Lords ministry, to take the Good
News to the poor, prisoners, those who are bound, and others we visit.
- Kenneth, a pastor in Uganda
I really enjoy your newsletters; theyre extremely uplifting and inspiring.
I pray for a blessing over your ministry and that youll keep growing
and striving to build our Fathers Kingdom. - Pat
I really like the Bible I got. I think LifeLight Ministries should
keep giving out Bibles. Im not even halfway through, and I already
know Im going to like the rest of it! I think a lot of young and
old readers are enjoying the Bibles and books. - Bethany
I received your newsletter. Thank you so much. I love the Lord with
all my heart. I would like some information about how I can tell my
friends and other unbelievers about Jesus. Sometimes I just cant
find the right, simple words to say. I have a lot of friends and loved
ones who are not Christians or have turned their back on God. -
Debbie
I am very interested in your Bible course. I was raised in a Christian
home and went to Bible camps. I still remember a lot I learned at
Bible camp, and I would like to learn more. - James
Ministering at the Lighthouse Mission, we have discovered a real need
for Bibles to hand out to the needy who drop in for food on a daily
basis. We would probably need about fifty to a hundred to start. If
there is something available at LifeLight, it would be much appreciated.
We also need some more of the Life Recovery Bibles for the new students
at Teen Challenge. - Michelle
We are a small church and want to present our third- and sixth-grade
students with Bibles. I came upon your site while looking for a source
for inexpensive Bibles. - Sandi
In looking across the web for resources for our ministry, we came
across your site and thought we may be able to partner with your ministry.
We are based in New York, and our outreach is along the US/Canada
border. We are always looking to create new friendships in the Lords
name and working relationships for the Word to go forth. It is essential
for us to keep well stocked with evangelistic material for use in
our travels on both sides of the border. - Marty
I am sure you know that I am the one who has sent you two cheques
that have bounced, and I am sure that has frustrated you a lot. I
have no excuses except that I am a poor Bible school student. Please
have mercy on me! I am sending cash this time so there will be no
more mistakes! Thank you so much for your ministry! - Erin
I would like to request a copy of "The LifeLight." We have a son who
was raised to love the Lord, but through wrong company and wrong choices,
he is now serving time in a correctional facility. God is working
in his life, but he is now reading the Koran and being influenced
in the Muslim faith through other inmates. We are praying that God
may use even this to prepare our son for avenues of service in days
to come. - Mary
March 2003
I received a Bible from a church in Oshawa when I started going
there. I have enclosed a cheque in memory of my grandfather, who was
such a great, loving person. Please write my grandmother to let her
know. - Ruth
Thank you so very much for the Bibles. I gave one to a friend in
the ALPHA course and he accepted Jesus Christ into his life. What
great news! May the Lord bless you! - Bob
We were privileged to hand out Bibles here at Christmas time that
came from LifeLight, through Peter Loewen. We are grateful for these.
As far as I know, a copy was given to every household here. - Amanda
(missionary in northern Manitoba)
Last year at Missions Fest in Edmonton I picked up a copy of "How
to Find God." I appreciate that, in addition to the fresh language,
there are so many helps for Christian living. What is the suggested
donation for these? We have a group of young people going to Mexico
this summer to do some mission work and wonder if this could be a
source of Spanish Scripture they could distribute. - Norma
Please send me four "The LifeLight" NTs for my ESL students, mostly
S. Korean, Japanese and Chinese. One of my students, a non-Christian
who has been exposed to the Gospel, is returning to Japan in March,
and I would appreciate a list of materials you have in these languages.
- Margaret
I just received the Bibles and other literature. Thank you so very
much for your generosity. These Bibles will be shared, and I believe
that people will experience the love of Jesus Christ and be brought
into a personal relationship with Him through Gods Word. - Wayne
I just received my copy of the Graphic Bible which I won in the draw
at the Edmonton Missionsfest. Thank you so much. My daughter is thrilled!
She wants to use it for her devotions. God bless! - Nora Lynn
This version [NIrV] gives me a challenge to read the whole Bible and
know Gods will, embracing His blessings and grace. I hope you can
provide me with more books so I can share Gods Word with my friends.
- Ruth
Hi! My name is Jody. I am 14 years old. I would love to enroll in
a Bible correspondence course. I would really love to know more about
God and Jesus from the Bible. - Jody
Im grateful that my M2 worker gave me "The Jesus Way" NT. It has
helped me to strengthen my relationship with God. I found it easier
to read and understand than my other Bible. I am interested in taking
your Bible course so I can learn more about the Bible and its teachings.
God bless you all! - Djordje
I appreciate reading "The LifeLight" NT, which my son-in-law left
with me. Do you have them in large print? I am legally blind. What
a wonderful ministry you have! I will pray for your work. - Bev
Please send us a copy of "The LifeLight" NT. I am a missionary in
Kenya and cant send a donation, but I would be very grateful. I will
give it to one of our pastors, and Im sure it will be a great blessing.
- Jan
I found the Graphic Bible information in your newsletter which I picked
up at Missionfest in Toronto. We have been part of mission work for
more than thirty years. We have seven grandchildren, and I believe
"The Graphic Bible" would be a great tool for them and would encourage
Bible reading. Please send us two copies. Our prayer is that the Lord
will bless and prosper the ministry of LifeLight. - Ron and Anne
July 2003
I was given this Bible [The LifeLight] in December. I really get
a blessing from it. I like the easy language it is written in. -
Mildred
We noticed your ad re Graphic Bibles. The concept looks rather interesting,
and Im wondering if you could send me one. I have never seen one,
so once I look at it I may order more. Im a Captain in the Anglican
Church Army in Nunavut. - Ron
A copy of "How to Find God" has arrived. We like it and would like
to order some. What would be the cost of sending twenty to the UK?
It would also be good to have the complete Bible in that translation.
- Doug
Thank you very much for sending me "The LifeLight" New Testament.
I find it very easy to read and understand. It has also helped me
to understand certain passages I was having difficulty with. Please
enroll me in your Bible course. - Djordje
Thank you for your gift. I hope that you may appreciate my thanks
with all my heart and with all my mind. May you offer me your prayers
for my entire family? - Peter
Monick was the winner of a Graphic Bible at MissionFest in Toronto.
She sent us this note: My church is a native church. We will be having
our one-year anniversary this coming Sunday. Thank you very much!
I am very happy and thankful for this good gift. I wanted the Graphic
Bible to put in my church library because we have few books for children
and young adults. - Monick
I am currently on disability and may have time to do your Bible correspondence
course. I may have a calling to teach others about salvation, the
Lord willing. I am interested in what you have to offer in my journey.
God bless your work. - Tony
Hey, this is a really good Bible, and I was wondering if there was
some place where I could get one for a friend! Thanx and God bless!
- Kyree
My name is Trisha. Can you send me some Bible study lessons
on the internet, please? And maybe send me a new Bible? I really need
a new one. I loved your first one. I can memorize most of the verses.
Maybe you can send me one with the Old Testament? I go to church every
Sunday, along with my family. Well, I have to go now. GOD BLESS YOU!
P..S PLEASE SEND ME A BIBLE!
