Books to India

Radio station WTGN and Christian Resources International (CRI) has teamed up to collect used Bibles, books and bucks for believers in India.

They called it the “Great Crate Project,” and Christian radio listeners donated Bibles, commentaries, and other Christian literature and raised money to ship the container to India.

“So many people are trying to get other materials out there that aren’t proclaiming Christ as the only way of truth and of salvation, so hey; we got to fight back a little bit,” said WTGN Station Manager Scott Young.

CRI’s Fred Palmerton added, “Each one of those books will get read over and over and it’ll get passed on and reused. . . . Each one of those people will have an opportunity to meet the Lord. It isn’t about growing radio stations, and it’s not about growing ministries. It’s about saving souls and reaching the lost. That’s my prayer, that we just reach the lost just effectively as we can.”
