Transgender Athletes Are Ruining Women’s Sports And The Idea That Men Can Become Women Is A Dangerous Lie That Is Destroying Our Nation

Transgender athletes like Laurel Hubbard and Rachel McKinnon, who are men, are dominating biological women in sports and trend is increasing.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The victory of New Zealander Laurel Hubbard is just the latest in a growing line of instances in which transgender women are claiming the top spot in sporting events with biological women.

In the religious dogma of the radical Left, you are forced to suspend science, biology, reason, and what you see with your eyes, and believe that it is somehow possible for a person to switch from one gender to another, by sheer force of their desire to do so. It is not, it has never happened and it never will happen. Anything to the contrary is demonic delusion, which is exactly what the LGBTQ+ is operating under. But the problem has really become evident with the emergence of transgenders, biological men, taking over women’s sports and naturally dominating in every category they are entered in. The irony is that transgenders are killing feminism because if men can become women, then women aren’t really all that special now, are they? Think, people, think.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” Mark 10:5-8 (KJB)

The article aggregated below is written by gay conservative journalist Andy Ngo, who has done excellent work exposing ANTIFA in recent years. But it is interesting to me that even gay people understand how wrong it is to have a society that pretends that men can somehow become women, which they obviously cannot. One of the reasons why this persists is because Christians won’t stand up to the transgender onslaught, they pretend that it’s OK to call someone by their ‘preferred pronouns’, and they more they indulge them the stronger they make the transgender movement. Pretty soon it will be a crime to ‘misgender’ someone, oh wait, it already is. This is where silence and inaction takes you.

“And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.” Genesis 49:1 (KJB)

Transgender Athletes Threaten Women’s Sports

FROM HUMAN EVENTS: The 41-year-old Laurel Hubbard dominated the Pacific Games weightlifting competition this week, winning a gold medal for her efforts – and breaking women’s records in the process. The male-to-female trans athlete previously qualified for the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and was expected to be a favorite for the gold, but an elbow injury forced her to withdraw from the event. Had she competed, she would’ve probably won.

Hubbard isn’t a lone figure. She joins the ranks of sprinter CeCe Telfer, powerlifter Mary Gregory, and cyclist Rachel McKinnon, all of whom took top places in their respective sports, soundly beating their biologically female competitors. Much like Hubbard, Telfer and Gregory also broke women’s records with their wins.

The inclusion of transgender individuals is threatening to upend women’s professional sports.

Although self-identifying as women, these individuals tend to be stronger, faster, and more agile than their biologically female counterparts – a fact neglected by proponents of political correctness. It’s also worth noting that men’s sports aren’t threatened by the inclusion of transgender men. It’s those born with a uterus who are receiving the short end of the stick as society tries to figure out what defines men and women.

Everyone knows it isn’t fair for male-to-female transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. To argue otherwise is to disregard reality. Men and women are different biologically; students notice it in gym class and learn why in biology class. Now trans activists ask the world to pretend otherwise. source

Social justice warriors defy any and all pushback, calling it “transphobia.” They argue that gender is a social construct. It’s a theory in feminist sociology that states society and culture, not genetics, define whether one is male, female, or “other”. While the argument about what constitutes “gender identity” and “gender expression” – other confusing facets of gender in contemporary society – remain up for debate, what isn’t up for debate is the fact that those born with male body parts and hormone levels have physical superiority over most biological females. It is settled science.

Hubbard’s inclusion in the Commonwealth Games last year prompted researchers in New Zealand to voice their concerns over the inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sporting events. The scientists argue these individuals have an unfair advantage over other women, and are calling for sporting committees to fix binary gender categories – if only to make things fairer.

In a paper published in the BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics, researcher Lynley Anderson and her associates Alison Heather and Taryn Knox argued that capping testosterone levels, which has been proposed as a solution to maintaining a level playing field, just won’t cut it. The researchers found that the 10nmol/L level permitted by the International Olympic Committee was “significantly higher than that of cisgender women, whose sex and gender align as female.”

“It is ten to 20 times higher than a cis female, so this is one of my major concerns,” argued Heather. “At the moment we are really targeting inclusiveness for our trans females to compete in a female division and in that aspect we are not considering a fairness issue for cis females.”

The researchers also argue that the advantages transgender women have over biologically female counterparts extends well beyond testosterone levels. Namely, they have denser and larger muscles, better muscle distribution, and higher lung capacities. Males even have an advantage when it comes to the amount of oxygen they can accumulate.

All this lends to greater strength, agility, dexterity, stamina, and endurance. A viral video featuring U.S. Olympic gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson had them reacting to the abilities of men doing women’s gymnastics. “This is like depressing watching this,” notes Liukin.

Prominent athletes including Martina Navratilova and Paula Radcliffe have openly criticized the decision to include trans athletes in women’s sports.

Martina Navratilova, an 18-time Grand Slam tennis champion, argued in the Times that the current rules on transgender participants reward cheats. “Letting men compete as women simply if they change their name and take hormones is unfair — no matter how those athletes may throw their weight around,” she wrote.

Marathon world leader Paula Radcliffe likewise expressed to BBC Sport her concerns that elite sporting events could be open to “manipulation” by men who will take the opportunity to make money and win medals by going up against physically weaker female opponents.

“People will manipulate this if there is an opening there to make money and win medals and we’ve seen the lengths people go to, the lengths Russia went to cheat in sport,” she said. She added that female sports ought be protected, but that it is also important to protect transgender women and their rights.

“Absolutely, any transgender men or women should be able to access sport – it just depends which category,” said Radcliffe. For now, women’s sports only sees minimal inclusion of trans athletes. But should things progress as they are, women’s records aren’t going to look that much different from the men’s in the not-too-distant future. READ MORE

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. Even all the way to South Africa. We even restarted our weekly radio Bible study on Sunday nights again, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. If every one of the 15,860+ people on our daily mailing list gave $4.50, we would reach our goal immediately. If every one of our 150,000+ followers on Facebook gave $1.00 each, we would reach 300% of our goal. The same goes for our 15,900 followers on Twitter. But sadly, many will not give, so we need the ones who can and who will give to be generous. As generous as possible.

NTEB RADIO BIBLE STUDY: The Kingdom Of Heaven And The Kingdom Of God Are Not The Same

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Kingdom Of Heaven Points To The Millennial Reign Of Jesus Christ While The Kingdom Of God Shows The Spiritual Rule Of God Over The Redeemed

The differences between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God is not some dry theological hair-splitting, it is one of the keys that unlocks the prophetic program of Israel and the mystery program of the Church. The kingdom of heaven points to that literal, visible, earthly reign promised to Israel, when the Lord Jesus Christ will sit upon the throne of David and rule the nations from Jerusalem. That is why the Millennial Temple of Ezekiel 40–48 belongs on the left side of the image at the top of this article: it is architectural, national, earthly, Jewish, prophetic, and future. It is Heaven’s government come down to the earth, with Israel restored, the King enthroned, and the nations brought under His righteous rule.

“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” Matthew 21:43 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the kingdom of God, on the other hand, reaches beyond land, throne, temple, and nation, and speaks to the spiritual rule of God entered by the new birth and ultimately inherited in resurrection glory. That is why the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church belongs on the right side of the image, with a dividing line between the two of them. The Body of Christ is not waiting for Israel’s temple to be rebuilt in order to receive its hope, but for the Lord Himself to descend from Heaven and call us up. The kingdom of heaven is connected with Israel’s earthly promises; the kingdom of God includes the believer’s spiritual standing, righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost, and the coming glorification of the redeemed. Related, yes, Jesus is King over both kingdoms, but they are not identical. Rightly dividing these two kingdoms keeps Israel in her lane, the Church in hers, and the word of truth exactly where God put it. Rightly dividing is the key to understanding the scriptures.

  • I  thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I  live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I  was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family  and  ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.
  • “Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast!  I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had.  I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible  education and fire for the Lord.  I donate on your website throughout the year.  Thanks for all that you do.” Donna
  • “I have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services.  If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
  • “My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
  • “I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
  • Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B 
  • “The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands.  Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel – Netherlands
  • “Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
  • “Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
  • “Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
  • “I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera

Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: Chief Of Sinners

Published

1 day ago

on

May 31, 2026

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Paul Never Forgot That He Had Persecuted The Church, But He Refused To Let His Past Become Greater Than The Grace Of God

Paul’s testimony is one of the greatest encouragements in the entire word of God, because Paul is not presented to us as a man who had no past. He is presented as a man with a terrible past, a religious past, a violent past, a Christ-rejecting past — and yet a man who found mercy in Jesus Christ. That is what makes Paul’s testimony so powerful. He was not merely a sinner who lived carelessly in the world. He was a sinner who sinned while thinking he was serving God. He was religious, zealous, educated, separated, serious, and completely wrong. Saul of Tarsus had Bible, religion, tradition, authority, and zeal — but he did not have Jesus Christ.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 (KJB)

Paul never forgot what he was when Jesus Christ found him. He was not looking for the Lord. He was not seeking truth. He was breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord. When Paul says he was “the least of the apostles,” he is not denying his apostleship. He is remembering the mercy that made him an apostle. He knew he was called by the risen Christ, but he also knew he had once persecuted the church of God. This is why he calls himself the “least of all saints”, and the “chief of sinners”. Paul’s authority was real. His calling was real. His office was real. But none of it produced pride in him, because grace always points back to the One who gave it. If God can do all that that through Paul, he can do it through you, too. If you are discouraged today, this message will give you a real hope that God can give you a better future.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: Chief Of Sinners

Chief Of Sinners

“For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.” 1 Corinthians 15:9 (KJB)

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;” Ephesians 3:8 (KJB)

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 (KJB)

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13,14 (KJB)

I. Paul Remembered What He Had Been

Paul never tried to rewrite his testimony. He had been a persecutor, a blasphemer, and injurious. He had dragged believers out, consented to the death of Stephen, and fought against the very Lord who would later save him.

“Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.” 1 Timothy 1:13 (KJB)

Paul did not hide his past, but neither did he let his past define his future. He remembered it only as a monument to the mercy of God.

Application

Some sinners think they are too far gone. Some Christians think they have ruined everything beyond repair. Some carry memories that still accuse them when they lay their head on the pillow at night. But Paul’s life says otherwise.

If God could save Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor of Christians, He can save anyone. If God could put Paul into the ministry after what Paul had done, then no sinner should ever say, “There is no hope for me.”

Closing Challenge

Do not let the devil preach your past louder than Christ preaches His blood.

II. Paul Humbled Himself Under Grace

Paul’s spiritual progression was downward in self and upward in Christ.

He said:

  • “I am the least of the apostles.”
  • “I am less than the least of all saints.”
  • “I am chief of sinners.”

That was not despair. That was humility born from grace. Paul knew exactly what he had been, but he also knew exactly what Christ had done.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJB)

Application

Grace does not make a man proud. Grace makes a man useful.

Paul did not say, “Because I sinned so badly, I cannot serve God.” He said, in effect, “Because God had mercy on me, I will spend my life preaching the One who saved me.”

The same grace that saves the sinner also strengthens the servant.

Closing Challenge

Your past may explain where grace found you, but it does not have the authority to cancel what God has called you to do now.

III. Paul Refused To Be Chained To What Was Behind Him

This is the missing piece:

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13,14 (KJB)

Paul had much to forget.

  • He had the memory of persecuting the church.
  • He had the memory of opposing Christ.
  • He had the memory of wasted years in religion.
  • He had the memory of blood, rage, blindness, and pride.

But Paul did not live looking backward. He looked forward. He reached forward. He pressed forward. This does not mean Paul denied what he had done. It means he refused to let what he had done become greater in his mind than what Christ had done for him.

Application

There are sinners who need to hear this plainly: you cannot undo yesterday, but Jesus Christ can save you today.

There are Christians who need to hear this just as plainly: you cannot serve God while dragging the chains of forgiven sin behind you as though the blood of Christ was not enough.

Paul did not forget his past by pretending it never happened. He forgot it by refusing to let it control the race set before him.

Closing Challenge

Are you reaching forth unto those things which are before, or are you still reaching backward into the graveyard of sins Christ already judged at Calvary?

IV. Paul’s Past Became A Testimony, Not A Tomb

Paul’s sin was great, but God’s grace was greater. Why did Jesus chose Saul to be the leader of the Church? Because He wanted to give us a living example of the power of the grace of God. He took the worst person He could find, a man whose whole live was devoted to killing the followers of Jesus Christ, and saved him and showed him grace.

“I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.” Acts 22:3-5 (KJB)

“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 1:14 (KJB)

That phrase “exceeding abundant” is the answer to every sinner who thinks he has sinned too much, fallen too far, or waited too long. Paul was not merely forgiven quietly in a corner. God made him a public display of long-suffering mercy.

“Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.” 1 Timothy 1:16 (KJB)

Paul became a pattern. His life says: “Look what Christ can do with the chief of sinners.”

Application

That is the encouragement for sinners.

  • The drunkard can be saved.
  • The blasphemer can be saved.
  • The religious hypocrite can be saved.
  • The immoral sinner can be saved.
  • The bitter rebel can be saved.
  • The backslider can be restored.
  • The ashamed believer can get back up and press toward the mark.

Paul’s past did not become his excuse. It became his pulpit.

Closing Challenge

Will you let your past be the place where the devil buries you, or the place where God displays His mercy?

V. Paul Pressed Toward The Mark

Paul did not merely stop looking back. He started pressing forward. Ceasing to do a negative resets you back to zero, and that’s good but not good enough. Once you are able to stop living in the negative, there must be a pressing forward into the positive!

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (KJB)

That word “press” matters. Paul’s life was not passive. He ran. He reached. He laboured. He endured. He followed Christ with urgency. Grace did not make Paul careless. Grace made Paul determined.

Application

The answer to a sinful past is not self-pity. It is not denial. It is not pretending sin was harmless. It is bringing it under the blood of Jesus Christ and then getting up to follow the Lord.

The sinner needs salvation.
The saved man needs cleansing.
The discouraged servant needs to press on.
The ashamed believer needs to stop staring at the ashes and start looking at Christ.

Closing Challenge

You cannot run today’s race while living in yesterday’s failure.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1,2 (KJB)

Today Was Another Bible Distribution Day At Glory Fellowship Church In Kisii, Kenya, Where NTEB Delivered Hundreds Of Children’s, Ekegusii And King James Bibles

About 8:30AM EST this morning, Lori and I got on WhatsApp with Pastor Dancan and we prayed over the joyous distribution of Bibles to the hundreds of people assembled at the Glory Fellowship Church. This video shows you what that looked like. Along with hundreds of bibles in the Ekegusii language, we also provided children’s bibles and King James Bibles. Many of the people in Kisii only speak Ekegusii, but many others are able to read English, so we are trying to provide Bibles that will give us the widest range of coverage. Your fervent prayers are making Operation Africa! possible, and you’re looking at what your donations are providing for “the least of these” here in the last days for God’s glory.

“But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:16 (KJB)

This is what missions looks like – Operation Africa! –  in the closing moments of the Church Age. Not empty talk, not photo opportunities, not man-centered religion, but getting Bibles into the hands of people who need them, praying over the work, and watching the Lord give the increase. Please continue to pray for Pastor Dancan, Glory Fellowship Church, and the work that God is doing in Kisii, Kenya through all of us here at Operation Africa! The harvest field is wide open, the need is urgent, and the word of God remains quick, powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword. We still need to raise another $4,000 to complete our mission of providing Bibles for all 823 members of Glory Fellowship Church. If God has prospered you, please click on the donate button and help us to reach our goal!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to everyone who needs one. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
