Bibles for Caterpillars
An excerpt from a recent family letter from my parents: "Many of the Christians in the villages around Mansa struggle to find the money to buy a Bible. One ... recently found a way around the difficulty. It was caterpillar season and he bartered 45 Bibles for 75 gallons of dried caterpillars. So in one way or another the Word goes out in blessing."
