Spreading the Word

On Sunday, April 13, 135,000 New Testaments will be distributed to home suscribers of the Philadelphia Inquirer with their paper delivery. This event is sponsored by "CityReachers Greater Philadelphia" and Tenth Church is a participating church through financial support and through another important means.

We are ordering an additional 1,500 copies to distribute. You are being asked now to pray for a neighbor, friend, colleague, fellow student who should receive a copy from you. We hope to receive the New Testaments to pass on to you on April 20, with the intent that you will pass on your copy that week.

Another way to participate is through prayer. On April 12, there will prayer walks for the distribution. In Philadelphia, participants will gather at Greater Exodus Baptist Church, corner of Broad and Fairmount. In Chester County, they will meet at Covenant Fellowship Church, www.covfel.org, in Glen Mills. At both locations they will meet at 9:30 a.m., set up teams for going out, and complete the prayer outings by noon. You do not need to register in advance.

The intent is to spread this Bible distribution in the fall to Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties, leaving a final distribution number of about 600,000.
