LifeLight is providing Forward House with NIV Study Bibles.
Ken Geddert reported on how his students in a Christian school got excited about the Sports NTs. Several were part of a football team where most of the players were not Christians. It was exciting for them to be able to present the players with
these Scriptures, giving them an opportunity to share their faith. One of them is now attending church regularly.
