Isaiah
29:18 Project
"And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the
blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness." Isaiah 29: 18
Several years ago, a volunteer helper at Bible Way Press approached Pastor
Wright with a question. He was asked if we had thought about whether someone
would have difficulty reading the material we were printing, not because they
couldn't READ it, but because they couldn't SEE it! With the vast
numbers of Americans who need a little help from the reading glasses they get
from the local department stores, it became obvious that there were thousands of
people all over the world who were perhaps literate but didn't possess the means
or opportunity to obtain or afford magnifying reading glasses to help with
dimming vision.
That's when the Isaiah 29: 18 Project was born. The first part of the
verse speaks of HEARING issues, while the latter part of the verse speaks
of SIGHT issues. We will possibly expand this project in the future to
assist with the hearing needs of individuals. Right now, though, the Project is
tasked with assisting with the sight needs of individuals around the world.
Simply put, we are able, in quantity, to purchase over-the-counter,
nonprescription, magnifying reading glasses from various sources for often less
than $1.00 per pair. So for a little more than $1.00 per pair we can purchase
AND ship quantities of these glasses to missionaries and other ministries
both in America and abroad.
We have sent glasses to ministries in Egypt, India, Africa, American Indian
reservations in North America, and Romania to name a few.
ALL MONEY RECEIVED FOR ISAIAH 29: 18 PROJECT IS USED FOR THE PURCHASE AND
SHIPMENT OF EYEGLASSES ONLY!! 100% of your investment goes where you want it to
go. Please pray about helping us with this vital ministry.
