- [Giant Print New Testament Bibles](https://godcaresministry.com/product/giant-print-new-testament-bibles/) - Those of you in this mission field know how difficult it is to find truly giant print Bibles at an affordable cost. Well, now the New Testament and Psalms are available! These Bibles are hardcover with a 16.5 point font, in the New Living Translation. Our intent in providing these Bibles is not mass distribution throughout a care home. Rather, we desire that individuals who seek hope and peace in Jesus will find those treasures through reading His word. Our hearts are filled with joy at the prospect of helping many of our care home friends grow closer to Jesus as they read these Bibles. In ordering the Bibles, we ask: that you give them to people who need the larger print; and that you commit to following up with them to offer encouragement and prayer to help the receiver grow in Christ. It would be such a blessing if you would share a testimony with us about how the Lord used this Bible to bless the recipient.
