This is the burden which came in the year that King Ahaz died.Isaiah 14:28
Mary Jones, a poor Welsh farm girl, had only one burning desire: to own a Bible in her own language. No Bible existed in her home, and the nearest one was a couple of miles away. For years she saved money by doing small jobs. Finally, at the age of sixteen, she walked more than twenty miles across the Welsh countryside to buy a Bible from the Rev. Thomas Charles. He later helped start the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804—an organization that went on to distribute millions of Bibles around the world.1 Mary’s passion for a Bible helped ignite Charles’ passion for a ministry distributing Bibles.
