125 Books to Afghanistan

From a recent email:

I'm the Executive Officer of a company stationed in Afghanistan. We are currently engaging with the enemy daily in some form or another. But I am writing to you as a Christian first and a soldier second. We have no chaplain, but one of my platoon leaders has stepped up and has been leading a weekly service.

We're hurting on resources. We need Christ-centered resources that turn us towards the Word and teach us of the joy that Christ longs for us to have in Him. I have been changed by Piper's books, including my favorite, Don't Waste Your Life, and long for others to have the opportunity to benefit in the same way.

Would you please consider sending some resources, such as the Don't Waste Your Life Group Study Kit, or anything else that might lend to weekly group Bible studies and personal devotions? We would appreciate any efforts to help us produce a meaningful Christian library in this small room that is serving as our chapel, as well as a stack that soldiers can read through while serving on our Observation Posts on nearby mountains for a week at a time.

Thanks for your help. Pray that the faith of the believers here would not stagnate and that more would come to know of his wonderful death on the cross!

A shipment of 125 Piper books is on its way to Afghanistan. We’re able to send them because of the generosity of those who sponsor books for the military. Gifts given to “The Army DWYL Sponsorship Program” are used to help distribute books to men and women in the military throughout the world.
