In an incredible show of generosity, The Haven, a new church set to launch in Darlington next month, has received 92 donated Bibles after an online appeal.
Seeking support to cover the cost of Bibles for the new congregation, Rev Jess Monopoli, curate at St Mary’s Cockerton, launched the appeal and was astounded by the response.
“At the moment, we have 92 Bibles, with a total of 103 promised. Two big donations came from an individual and a church who do not know us at all, one from Birmingham and another from near Oxford,” she shared.
“They felt moved by the Holy Spirit to act and we are so grateful to them and to others who have kindly donated.” CT.
