The greatest gift a true believer can share with another person is Christ.  There is none other like Him and He alone can receive a sinner and change him to a child of God.  So one of the greatest gifts we can share is the truth of this Savior so that our friends, family, and acquaintances might have His everlasting life.  Have you shared the Good News of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection lately?  O that we may become passionate about telling others!

Another gift of inestimable value is helping another come to understand God’s word better.  It is His word that He uses to cleanse and change our minds and lives.  It is then that we can begin to be, live, and love as He desires for us.  One way you can do this is by telling others about BBN radio and the BBN Bible Institute where God’s word is taught daily on the radio and online. 

You can share the ITL cards and the BI cards with friends.  You can post our websites on your web pages and emails.  You can give a gift that will change a life forever.  No better gift could you give if you had millions of dollars to spend.  These are lasting gifts that you can give at no expense to you except concern and effort.
