 Gambia Partnership Bibles Special Collection

The Gambia Partnership are seeking to raise funds to send printed and audio Bibles during 2025.

The Partnership has already purchased 500 solar powered audio Bibles in a variety of Gambian dialects.  They cost £20 each and are particularly useful for those who are illiterate as they can hear the Word of God in their own language.

A special collection for this purpose will be taken at all services next Sunday, 16^th March.  Contributions can also be made by cheque and should be made payable to ‘Stornoway Free Church’ and placed in an envelope clearly marked ‘Gambia Bibles’.
