How and Why did Bible Senders begin

How and Why did Bible Senders begin...

We were told to do it as it's listed in the manual - Mark 16:15. I have read that passage countless times but never understood it as I do now. So, the beginning story of Bible Senders is this...

When the thought of Bible Senders came to us, we sat down at the computer, went to Google and typed in Bible Senders. Up popped a website called BibleSenders.com. It was an online bible service offering the King James version of the bible and a few commentaries. We clicked on "Contact Us" and inquired if the domain name was for sale. This is the reply that was sent back.

Dear sir,
I registered this and other domain names but I ended up getting sick with a major health issue and was not able to complete the task. As for purchasing my domain names, I would like to give them to you free of charge.
Sincerely
XXX XXXXXX

To our surprise, attached at the bottom of the email was the hosting account address, the user name and password. There were six domain names, five of which were offered to us. What I believed at the time to be a legitimate concern over the cost of maintaining all of the domain names, I later came to realize was a lack of faith on our part, we took only two of them and left the rest. The remaining names we did not take have since expired and are now for sale online. Over the last few months, other variations of the Bible Senders name are being used by various Christian groups to do a similar work. However, if it were not for the donations of the domain names, Bible Senders.org might not exist.

From there on in and right up to the present, it has been almost effortless. We made a website and we launched Bible Senders.org earlier in 2008 as a part-time, whenever endeavor. Whenever we got a few bibles, whenever we received requests, we mailed them out, pretty much whenever. Then, week by week, the requests came in from all over the world. First from the Philippines, the a prison in Georgia here in the U.S and before we knew it, China, different parts of Africa, the Middle East, again the Philippines, Central America, South America and from all over the United States, Prison Ministries, those held in jails, Street Ministries to the Homeless, Birth Clinics and Inner City Half-Way Houses! It is absolutely amazing, exciting and much different than we had ever imagined. We have met people and made friends all over the world and would like to encourage you to get involved. Either start your own ministry or help support ours but what ever you do, for your sake, don't just sit and watch the parade go by!
