MOUNT VERNON, WA (May 26, 2007) \u2013 Members of Bethany Covenant Church<\/a> are taking books off their shelves at home so that pastors in other countries can have what might even be their first theological and pastoral resources, including Bibles.<\/p>\n

\"\"The church began collecting the books for its \u201cOperation Bare Your Bookshelf\u201d at the beginning of May. \u201cIt\u2019s been going quite well,\u201d says Wilbur Anderson, who chairs the church\u2019s missions committee.<\/p>\n

The church is working through Christian Resources International<\/a>. The organization accepts requests from pastors and church members in need of books and forwards their request to donors.<\/p>\n

Many pastors in poorer countries don\u2019t even have Bibles, Anderson says. Pastors that have Bibles often need to share with several others who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So far, eight pastors have submitted requests. The missions committee will decide in June on who will receive the books, Anderson says. Cost to ship the Bibles is roughly one dollar per pound, Anderson says. The books are sent directly to the pastors.<\/p>\n

Extra books that are not needed by the pastors will be given to City Team Ministries in Seattle. That organization will distribute them to recovery programs.<\/p>\n
