Do you remember the first Bible you ever received? Perhaps you own a special Bible that, through years of use, has become worn at the edges, its cover frayed and its pages filled with personal notes scribbled in the margins. Maybe some pages have become loose, torn, or are even missing entirely. You might have thought it was time to get a new Bible, but after acquiring one, you found yourself returning to the old, familiar one—like an old and trusted friend.

I still possess the first Bible I ever received, a gift from my Youth Group leader after I dedicated my life to Christ as a junior in high school. Though it was brand-new at the time, it was a paperback edition. Now, it sits on my shelf, seldom handled, because its worn condition makes me fear it could fall apart with further use.

Our Mission for 2026

The ministry team at His Healing Hands is actively planning and praying for six medical mission trips in 2026. We anticipate providing medical care to 5,000 or more individuals. Based on the outcomes of previous missions, we hope to lead at least 1,200 of these people to salvation in Jesus Christ.

An Opportunity to Give the Gift of Scripture

I invite you to share in the joy of gifting each of these new brothers and sisters in Christ their first Bible. In most instances, it will be their very first one! Let us ensure that these Bibles are of good quality—editions that will endure for many years—rather than simply choosing the least expensive option.

We are typically able to purchase a quality Bible in Mexico, Peru, Thailand, Costa Rica, or Romania for $12 to $14 each. Our target is to acquire 1,200 Bibles to meet our goal, which amounts to a total of $16,800.

How You Can Participate

Please pray and ask God to show you how many of these new Christians will receive their first Bible thanks to you and your family’s generosity. Use the link below or scan the QR code to make you gift today.

We will do our best to capture a photograph of each recipient with their new Bible and share it with you.

Thank you for being a vital part of the His Healing Hands ministry team throughout 2025. Please continue to lift us up in your prayers as we embark on another year of ministry.

Merry Christmas!
