A Pastor in the Philippines Holds a Study Bible for the First Time

Mark Baroro had been pastoring for years without owning a study Bible he could truly rely on. In Davao City, Philippines, quality Bibles are expensive and hard to find. Many pastors preach from borrowed copies or phone apps with spotty internet. Then last June, Mark graduated from The Expositors Academy’s preaching program. And because of caring friends like you, he received a gift he never expected: a LSB MacArthur Study Bible.

“Since then, I am using my LSB Bible and it has had a great impact on my daily readings, personal study, and sermon preparation,” Mark says. “Much more so in the ministry of preaching and teaching that the Lord entrusted to me.” Mark pauses when he talks about what your generosity means to him. “I cannot help but ponder deeply how God, in His grace and providence, used the people behind this ministry,” he says. “To the generous donors around the world — thank you for your kind heart and passion for making this ministry partnership an investment that matters for eternity.”

Every week, Mark opens that Bible to prepare sermons for his congregation. Your gift didn’t just put a book on a shelf. It equipped a pastor to faithfully teach God’s Word to his church — week after week. But Mark is just one of hundreds of Filipino pastors who still need a reliable Bible of their own. Your continued giving can put God’s Word into more waiting hands.
