The following comment came from a pastor in Uganda:

We are very excited about what the Lord is doing in Northwestern Uganda. I will never forget what one Yumbe pastor said and wrote to me, “We had thought God had forgotten about us and we know now He has not”. Your Kindle ministry is part of God’s plan in spreading His fame in a much neglected area.

Of course, we are lucky that we have the opportunity to visit a church when we want to because there are so many worldwide to choose from. Some people even venture out far and wide to attend a church service because this has been made possible. The online donations that people can make to their religious establishments are remarkable, especially when you look for methods via somewhere like Tithe.ly to provide people with another means to donate. This money can go towards the services of the pastor, as well as making sure that the building remains in a stable condition for services. Unfortunately, there are other countries that don’t have this luxury.

We take for granted having the resources to buy books anytime we want them. The average pastor has hundreds of books. In Uganda there are pastors who have their Bibles and a couple of books. Their most important capability is to be able to read and study in English. All of Southeastern Africa needs to be flooded with Kindles. These men should not lack having good study materials.

What we take for granted they strongly desire. Let us not forget them.

With the help of sites such as monergism.com, Desiring God, generous donations from 9Marks and other sources we can now offer 148 books on the Kindles for African pastors.  Many of these books are miulti-volune sets so the number of actual books may be near 200.

How many books is this. Picture your typical standalone book cabinet that is 6 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 6 shelves full of books. This is how many books we are sending to the pastors. I cannot imagine shipping this many books and having the pastors maintain auxh a physical library. Thank the Lord for digital books. These men now have a full library to assist them in their study and own spiritual growth.

Here is the list of books we are supplying:

If you know of a source of good digital (Kindle format) books that we can obtain for free please email stbahager@gmail.com with the information.

The following is an excerpt from Jacob and Carol Lee’s newsletter:

Godfrey, who has been undergoing a mentoring process here at RAU and an intense time of study, is nearly ready to make his move to Obongi.  He is truly excited, not only about the Word of God, but also about being able to be a part of the milestone outreach to this unreached area.  Jacob has so enjoyed helping to equip Godfrey in different ways and has had great conversations with him. Last night, after having had some time to read in his new Kindle, loaded with over 100 Christian books, Godfrey came inside from the veranda, nearly giddy, and stated, “You know, God gave Adam this beautiful garden with all kinds of fruits for him to enjoy.  What God gave Adam in the garden, you have given me in this Kindle!”  Awesome!  Thank you, Delmar Hager, for your vision and provision of this most excellent tool for pastors!  The fruit that the Kindles, as well all the Christ centered books given out, will bear in eternity cannot even be contemplated now!  Thank you to all who have been a part of providing Bibles and books to enrich pastors. We look forward to seeing the harvest of wisdom in Godfrey through the resources he has been given and planted within him. Pray for him as he leads a new church in the center of Muslim dominated Obongi. Pray for us as we seek to encourage him and assist this church plant which has only new converts.

This is ground zero for the ministry. Pastors who are given resources to study and serve the Lord. I thank the Lord for Jacob and Carol Lee who are on the ground in Uganda. They are the conduit that make this ministry so effective.
