Dear Ryan,
Great news!
On May 25 we sent 320 letters to people who had previously given for equipment, offering opportunity to help provide $32,000 needed to cover the purchase cost of direct-to-plate equipment for our Pre-press department (including shipping from Arizona).
I was delighted June 8 to learn that God had already provided $21,472.
I emailed that information June 8 to another friend of WMP who enquired as to the status of this need, and on June 9 he emailed that “a check for the balance is in the mail.”
Praise God for such quick provision through His people!
The equipment is already safely here. God is FAITHFUL! God is so good!
Production pace slowed
Though we’ve been producing 6,000,000 booklets per month this fiscal year (October through May), in June we decided to slow production to 5,000,000 because of financial constraints. But God has moved--allowing us to pick up the pace for the rest of June to as close to the 6,000,000 level as we can print. Praise God! Please pray that God will strengthen our hand to enable steady or increased production July through September.
Kreyol New Testaments
On June 15, WHME-TV broadcast live interviews from World Missionary Press, focusing on production of 90,000 more Kreyol New Testaments with Psalms and Basic Study Supplement for use in Haiti. About 5,000 of the testaments will go soon with Feed the Hungry/LeSea, who shot the interviews to include in the WHME-TV “Harvest Today” program. The Haitian Bible Society has requested 15,000 testaments (in lieu of royalty payment), and will distribute them free.
Fred & Betsy Eiler Services
If you live in Indiana, it would be great if you could visit one of these churches to meet Fred and Betsy Eiler, our dynamic and warm-spirited Field Reps, as they share WMP ministry:
June 20 am: Warsaw Wesleyan, Warsaw, Indiana (9:00 and 10:00)
June 20 pm: Clay Street Amish Mennonite Church, Bourbon, Indiana (7:00)
June 27 am: Believer’s Fellowship, Middlebury, Indiana (10:30)
Your involvement with the worldwide ministry of World Missionary Press is deeply appreciated. Together we are touching millions of lives with the powerful, life-transforming Word of God. THANK YOU!
Your friend in Christ,

AFRICAN TRACTS
Dear Ryan,
Recent shipments to several African countries have begun arriving. Africa in particular has been plagued with corruption in government agencies and our shipments have at times been “held ransom” for unreasonable customs, processing, or other charges. Please be in prayer especially for these African shipments over the next few weeks:
Burundi – 2,610 boxes (1,258,200 Scripture portions)
Cameroon – 2,570 boxes (907,770 Scripture portions)
Central African Republic – 4,140 boxes (1,674,170 Scripture portions)
Burkina Faso – 560 boxes (203,500 Scripture portions)
Benin – 1,428 boxes (567,730 Scripture portions)
Ivory Coast – 4,215 boxes (1,452,875 Scripture portions, plus 28,000 French New Testaments)
Democratic Republic of the Congo – 4,204 boxes (1,709,441 Scripture portions)
Zambia – 4,216 boxes (1,958,430 Scripture portions)
Uganda – 4,213 boxes (1,643,795 Scripture portions)
Liberia/Guinea – 4,199 boxes (1,742,600 Scripture portions)
South Africa – 4,216 boxes (2,079,975 Scripture portions)
Of special note –
1) The Cameroon shipment is at the port, and our coordinator is doing battle with the shipping agency and government officials there; for this shipment, we have an agreement through our U.S. shipping agent for fixed clearing and onforwarding costs; the agency in Cameroon is not happy that they are being held to this agreement; please pray for Brother Aloma (our coordinator).
2) The DR Congo shipment is about to arrive; our last experience with sending to DRC was VERY EXPENSIVE because of (what I believe to be) corruption charges; our coordinator there Brother Sita is arming up with documentation, funds, and experience – to hopefully make the reception of the container go more smoothly this time.
3) The Burundi shipment seems to be stalled; our coordinator Brother Evariste has recently been recovering from malaria; he assures me that everything is proceeding smoothly, the container is enroute to Bujumbura, but I have not heard back from him in the past week.
4) The rest of the above shipments are also subject to whims of officials, dangers on the road, etc.
Thanks for praying! And thank you for your interest in the ongoing ministry of World Missionary Press.

Dear Ryan,
Thank you for your prayers in behalf of on-going financial needs at World Missionary Press.
As of the morning of February 24, we were yet about $70,000 below income budget for February. And during the first four months of our fiscal year—October through January—we received $451,289 less than income budget.
But God knew in advance what our income would be during those months, so He provided a large gift at the end of September, 2009, which has enabled us to maintain our production budget of 6 million booklet equivalency each month this fiscal year in spite of below-budget income.
On February 22 our Volunteer Advisory Study Group (VASG) met, the staff group that studies our financial situation and then counsels what level of production we should realistically aim for, and decided that we needed to slow production from 6 million per month to 5 million per month for March and April.
We never like to move in that direction.
But God . . . .
But God intervened February 24 by hand-delivering an estate settlement in the amount of $362,500! We rejoice for the man whose heart was in tune with God’s Word and God’s work at World Missionary Press, motivating him to designate WMP as a beneficiary of his estate. What a blessing he is! What an awesome impact he will have in millions of lives through the power of God’s Word made possible through his gift!
How our hearts rejoice! We will not need to slow production after all for the time being! God’s timing is perfect. God’s provision is amazing!
Your involvement in the worldwide ministry of World Missionary Press is deeply appreciated!
The need before us for producing more and more of God’s Word is great. We continue to plan emergency printings for HAITI and are beginning to print inside CHINA once again. Plans were in the works for production of two containers for CHILE when the earthquakes struck there. We will continue to respond to needs as God makes it possible through gifts and prayers of His people.
May God bless you with His joy and peace.

MISSIONARY POSITIONS
BBC World News Reports:
US missionaries 'knew they were doing wrong' in Haiti
New Life Children's Refuge members (top L-R) Drew Culberth, Steve McMullen, Silas Thompson, Paul Thompson, Jim Allen (bottom L-R) identity unknown and Carla Thompson at a police station in Port-au-Prince on 31 January
The missionaries say they did not know they were doing anything wrong
Haiti's prime minister has criticised 10 US missionaries who were arrested as they tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the earthquake-hit country.
Max Bellerive told the Associated Press news agency that they "knew what they were doing was wrong".
He said some of the children had parents who were alive, and that the government was trying to locate them.
Mr Bellerive added that his country was open to having the Americans tried in the United States.
He said a judicial system needed to determine whether the five men and five women from an Idaho-based Christian group were acting in good faith - as they have claimed - or were child traffickers.
A Haitian judge had been expected to decide on Monday whether the Americans had a case to answer, but the matter was postponed for 24 hours because of a lack of interpreters for the Americans.
The 10 have been held since Friday when they tried to enter the Dominican Republic with the children.
They insist the children have no living parents and were being taken to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
They say they were unaware they had done anything wrong and believed they had been given the right paperwork to take the children out of the country.

if there was a way to read this
If there was a way to read this, I may explain it here. If there is no one, singular way to read my posts, than you should disregard.
I hope this disclaimer does not bother you, the reader, all that much.
I was just talking about how I set myself up in ways that I don't have to remember things. In short, my method involves following certain behavioral patterns and then simply forgetting things because I only have to know what I would have done rather than remember what I actually did. For instance: where I placed a pack of cigarettes or an important piece of paper...I don't need to even think about all the places it could be. I just need to think about where I have to go and it will be there. If I am at a girlfriend's house, the cigarettes will not be on the floor behind the bed or the shelf near the radiator. they did not fall off the desk into the paper infinity and I most certainly did not leave them on outside! it would be out of character! They have had to been in the place where i will most definately look once more. They must have been inside of the coat i left there. yes. they must be. I actually asked. they are there.

the plan works great and it extends beyond keeping track of objects . it works with ideas in general. or i think it does.
im going to remember, now that what I will do from now on is to post some bullshit email from my dad or someone else. I feel the best way to convey my message is to give you the entirety of the reading material and then respond if i want.
So, considering the assumed structure of how i would like to present a person with the relevant ideas, i will say that in future, when reading an update, feel free to understand the first tone as the provoking element and the change in tone will be my response.
