Summer Progress Report
We just wrapped up another Pack & Pray Fellowship last week and are now sending out 3rd Quarter Bibles. . .531 of them! That brings our total at just over the halfway mark for the year to 2,570!
To continue this progress, do you have any groups of friends, church members, small groups, or neighborhood kid's groups that you can organize an end-of-summer Bible drive for UBO?
Also as a side note, we are already planning ahead for Christmas! Let's begin right now to make sure that no one misses out on hearing about God's great love for them and what He has done to reconcile us to Him! If you feel led, we welcome your donations to continue working on the many Christmas Bible needs as we get closer to the season. (If you recall, last December alone we placed over 2,300 Bibles in the hands of those in need!)
"God is on the Move"
A popular song on the radio right now is by 7eventh Time Down named "God is on the Move."
"God is on the move, on the move
Hallelujah
God is on the move
In many mighty ways"
God is certainly on the move in Dallas through UBO and our partner organizations! Take a look:
We were so blessed to be able to provide pew Bibles for the new SoupMobile Church for the homeless!
The SoupMobile's David Timothy, a.k.a. "The SoupMan," preaching at the SoupMobile Church for the homeless.
This past week we donated 200 Bibles to Turning Paiges, a partner organization that hosted a night of worship, prayer and unity in the City of Dallas in light of the recent police shootings.
People need the Lord, the Living Water. . .they need His Word.
Thank You!
A big thank you to Heights Baptist Church in Richardson for their donation of gently used Bibles! Many of these Bibles are finding new homes this week as we deliver them to a center for homeless and at-risk youth. Would you ask your church if they have lost-and-found Bibles that have not been claimed and they can donate to UBO? Many of those Bibles have been sitting there for years and can bless someone's life in their time of need.

"More Than a Book"
My precious Grandma loved Dr. Charley Stanley, a gifted Bible teacher and pastor out of Atlanta. Recently I received his sermon notes entitled "The Bible--More Than a Book" and I thought it was a beautiful summary of just how awe-inspiring, uplifting, trustworthy, encouraging, revealing, and timeless His Word truly is. Enjoy this sermon and sermon notes at this link:
