All glory to God!!! All 159 GA counties are committed to reading a portion of God’s Word on July 14th. If you’ve wondered how this got started …here goes!
In 2018 I went to Africa to help with the first Bible Reading Marathon in Lagos, Nigeria. Naturally I became good friends with Laura Williams who lived there and started their first BRM.
Several months after I returned home she asked me if I knew anyone in Des Moines, Iowa that friends could stay with for a few weeks. They had a son graduating from the university there.
I told her no, but I would pray…then added, “As a matter of fact, I don’t know anyone in Iowa.”
That very evening a lady from DES MOINES, IOWA contacted me!!!!!
Dianne Bentley, the lady from Iowa, had been doing BRM’s for about 5 or 6 years and the Lord gave her a neat idea.
Iowa has 99 counties so she divided up the Bible into 99 readings and with 2 Chronicles 7:14 as her foundational Scripture, the entire Bible was read across Iowa on one day.
It was so successful she thought other states might want to do this, so she “googled” Bible Reading Marathon and came up with my name. At that time we had done BRM’s for 16 years in our county.
Apparently an atheist from TX, who fought us tooth and toenail for reading the Bible from our courthouse had made me famous! (Should have sent him a thank you card!)
Well, now you know the rest of the story. This will be year 8 for our Statewide Bible Reading. Glory to God!
If you live in Georgia be sure to contact the 7/14 leader there, and if you don’t know who’s leading it send me a private message and I’ll get you connected!
Sharing this on behalf of Jerri Tuck, the sweet little lady that you see pictured below! Let me tell you something, this little lady looks so sweet, but wait until you hear how Jesus changed her life. This little sweet lady was a Hells Angel! I didn't believe it at first, but it's true. She used to run with some on the roughest and toughest, doing some not so legal things in this world. Now, she's responsible for helping get ALL 159 counties in the State of Georgia signed up for the Statewide Bible Reading Marathon!! This will be the 8th year,of having the entire Bible read over the State! Join US at your county courthouse on July 14th, Georgia!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
