If you missed any of the Bible Study series by Dr Kroll, or wish to use any of them in your adult Sunday School class or for your personal study of God’s Word, audio copies on regular or mp3 CD’s, as well as supporting printed Bible Study material are available for purchase. Please contact our office and we can send you a list of the Bible Study top- ics dealt with in the past eighteen months. Amidst the excitement of the Olympics, Emancipation Day and Independence celebrations, let us commit to spend more time in the Bible… reflect upon its message to us as individuals and as a nation, but most importantly, let us re- spond accordingly. We invite you to join us for our next Faith and Prayer Partner meeting set for August 8, 2012 at the Bethany Gospel Hall, 9a Hagley Park Road, King- ston 10, from 12 noon to 1 pm as we share with you con- cerning this ministry and together, we join in pray for our nation.

Dear Friend,

We here at Back to the Bible Broadcast Jamaica are grate-ful to all who responded to our request for assistance so that we could end our fiscal year in the ‘black’ and start the ‘new year’ on a firm financial footing. We thank God that we made our target of $1.67M and will continue to trust Him to provide for this new fiscal year. Some persons are curious why our request for help has increased in recent times. The fact is, that as the world economies, including Jamaica, face varying levels of decline, the level of giving to ministries overall is also falling whilst operating costs continue to rise on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding, in this the fiftieth year of our independence as a nation, now more than ever we believe Jamaica needs to get back to the Bible! We are committed to positively impacting the lives of individuals through our daily radio programme and now our internet-based Bible engagement

tool goTandem. Truly, “...the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Heb. 4:12) We are greatly encour-

aged by the testimonies of listeners to the programme and subscribers to goTandem. (www.gotandem.com - sign-up today!!!). God is working in the lives of His people. If you missed any of the Bible Study series by Dr Kroll, or wish to use any of them in your adult Sunday School class or for your personal study of God’s Word, audio copies on regular or mp3 CD’s, as well as supporting printed Bible Study material are available for purchase.

Teach us true respect for all, Stir response to duty’s call, strengthen us the weak to cherish, Give us vision lest we perish.
