The Bobby Bolin Bible Campaign was launched in spring 2005 with the
goal of collecting Bibles for Africa through Pastor Evbota Idemudia
Godstime – Spread The Word Ministries. Through the generosity of
this Bible Campaign, an estimated 12,000 Bibles (KJV) have been made
available for Africa. And the Bible Campaign was through
announcements made in America. Please prayerfully consider what you
can give toward this worthy cause to ultimately get a Bible in the
hand of the poor in Africa who greatly need the Bible and cannot
afford due to financial difficulties. |

I told them in Nigeria, somehow God would
get them Bibles,” Bobby said. “I didn’t know how, But I’ve learned
in life to trust God and live with faith.

half months early with cerebral palsy”- Bobby |

The US Cripple man with the Gospel Message in
Africa.

Pastor Greg and Bobby Bolin were crying in
Nigeria seeing thousands of people without Bible and the need to
evangelize the people to God |
|

It may take Bobby Bolin two hours to get dressed
each day, but it only took him about two months to gather up nearly
10,000 Bibles to send to Africa.

Bolin, 29, is an evangelist. Despite his walking
with crutches and sometime preaching from a wheelchair, he and
ministry partner Terry Peterson have traveled to Pennsylvania,
Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Indiana, Tennessee, and
Kentucky. In November, they travel much further to Nigeria. If
doctors had been right 29 years ago, Bolin wouldn’t be alive today.
He never would have walked or talked.
“I was born 2 half months early with
cerebral palsy” Bolin said. Doctor told my parent that I would die
and that if I lived I wouldn’t live past age 15 and would be a
vegetable. |
“The
prognosis was that there was no quality of life whatsoever,” He said
through surgeries, physical therapy and faith, he has survival. His
Christian grandmother got him involved in Church, and at age 12 he was
saved. In November 1993, Bolin said he felt the call to preach and began
preaching about two years later; beginning with rest homes and prison
ministries.
After several years in those capacities, I felt
the Lord call me into full-time evangelism, “ Bolin said. “About the
time God called me to evangelism, Terry felt the call to go with me,” he
said.
In November 2004, Evangelist Bobby Bolin trip to
Africa came about through Greg Locke’s Ministries, who heard Bolin
preach in Rocky Mount, Va., soon scheduled some speaking engagements for
him. Locke also told Bolin he’s planned a mission trip to Africa and
asked if he might like to go. “I couldn’t believe or imagine he’d want
me to go,” Bolin said, “I couldn’t see how it would be possible. “Our
different supporting churches raised funds for us it be able to go,” He
said.

While in Nigeria. Bolin preached an average of three
times a day in schools, churches, and in the open. One thing that
concerned him, in addition to the great poverty, was the lack of
Bibles among those he was preaching to.
“If you were preaching to a
large congregation, only 5 to 10 people had Bibles, so he bought
about 20 Bibles to give to the people. One man said, Sir, give me
one, Bolin said with tears in his eyes at the memory. Bobby even
gave away both of his Bibles. |

I told them in Nigeria, somehow God would get
them Bibles,” Bobby said. “I didn’t know how, But I’ve learned in life
to trust God and live with faith.

Once back home, Bolin began sharing the story, with
others. The first time he told the story, he was given a check for $1000
to buy Bibles for Africa. When he shared the story with Bread of life
Baptist Church in Shelby, one member was so moved that he approached
Pastor Jones about Bolin. He said to me, ‘Preacher, aren’t we going to
help him? Jones said.
Pastor Jones and his church have offered space
in the sanctuary to stores the Bibles. Seven thousands Bibles have been
gathered and neatly packed in brown pasteboard boxes at the church.
On Saturday, Volunteers helped pack the Bibles and tape the boxes so
they will be ready for shipping. Bibles.
If
you believe God is calling you to help send the Gospel to Africa. We
invite you to get involved in this Bible Project to save soul in Africa
for God. Evangelist Bobby Bolin.
