I had a great Bible Handout

 It has been at least 4 years since my last Bible Handout, my husband was very sick and then I was working. I prayed about it and felt led to go to the first place I did a Bible Handout, actually. So I went, it was a hassle getting there on the bus but I did hand out a couple of Bibles on the way.  

I used my grocery cart which is not rated for the kind of loads I do for a Handout but I managed, but I will get a sturdier hand cart for the next one.  

I had a case of KJV, and a case of very nice bound Bibles I found in the garage.  They were all "Gift and Award" type, gilt edges, indexes, very fancy and WAY beyond my budget.  I finally figured it out.  I also had a reserve case I had to tap a few times when people wanted extra. 

When I was doing the Handouts I was buying all my evangelism Bibles from Lifeway as they had the best prices, they were selling them at cost just to get the Word out. I bought thousands of them various types.  One time on a Handout a lady asked where I bought my Bibles and I told her, the next time I went in they had 300 New Testaments for me "From a sponsor".  Those were old days, glory days, and I handed them out in pretty short order, back for more.  

So they did a fundraiser and asked everyone checking out if they would like to buy a Bible to support my ministry (I had no idea of this).  They had a photo I had given them for their prayer wall of me and Ron with Free Bibles signs and probably had that up, and gave me cases of very nice donated Bibles.  

I believe I found one of those in the garage last night when I was going through what I have left (not much) of my Bibles.  The clue to me the shipping label did NOT have my address, it had Lifeway's, and it had the word "Donations" on the side. 

At any rate they were tremendously popular and I got them all (about 20) handed out in about an hour.  Then I had more donated Bibles from a board member these were KJV. Now if a recipient asks for a special translation it is always KJV. So those were also very popular.  

I did NOT bring my case of Spanish Bibles as I was afraid of overloading my poor cart (I had 3 cases already) so I brought Spanish Scripture booklets which were incredibly popular.  I need to bring at least 50 more booklets, and a case of Spanish Bibles, next time I work that corner. 

I also had some "Value of Trials" tracts (God uses them to make us lean on Him,and better people more able to do His work) I handed out to a few people as led.  

The only person to offer me money this time was a one legged homeless man in a wheelchair.  He was very upset but I told him the Bibles were donated and I had a day job. 

I worked a little over 2 hours, handed out about 50 or so Bibles (I don't keep track as I have pride issues), and went to the taco truck after and had a delicious quesadilla.  Then I came home. 

No one called the police on me this time (they had several times before when I worked that corner) I guess they remembered I don't take money. That's it for now!  I'm taking a nap.
