Michigan—This year for Bible Labs, students at Blue Water Elementary decided to donate a fund-raiser to God. Usually, when we do fund-raisers, we raise money for school trips or items the school needs. But this time, we decided to give all of the profits back to God.

God led us to use our profits to purchase copies of the book, The Passion of Love,by Ellen G. White. With the money raised by the five students in our small school, we were able to buy over 600 books. The next step was distribution. Here are several examples of ways God has been leading us to distribute the books.

When our school attended Outdoor Education at Camp Au Sable, we brought the books and handed them out along the way. Another example is when anyone comes to our school, such as the trash collector, repair men, delivery men, etc., they leave with a copy of the book in their hands.

God also led us to contact the chaplain at our local jail. In talking to him, we found out that “coincidentally” he was preparing to show, for the first time ever, the movie, "The Passion of the Christ," by Mel Gibson, to the inmates. After the movie, the chaplain assigned 18 volunteers to visit each person’s cell and talk to them about what they had seen.

Our school donated 200 books to the jail, and after the movie, the volunteers handed them out to everyone who wanted one. One hundred sixty-seven inmates received the book, and the chaplain told us 12 people gave their hearts to Jesus that day! Praise God!

One final example of distribution came when our church performed "His Last Days," a play by Dallas Holmes. We performed the play on the 26th of Mar., the day before Easter, to a packed church. Our church was filled with mostly community members. At the end of the play, three students handed out a book to each person who wanted one.

We are still in the process of distributing the books, but God’s hand can be clearly seen in all of it. It is truly a blessing that will bear fruits for eternity.
