norfolk, Va – Bibleworks recently
launched version 8 with an array
of tools, resources and interactive
capabilities that can help anyone
interested in “digging into” the bib-
lical text. with Bibles from around the
world, 35 original-language texts and
morphology databases, 29 lexical-
grammatical references plus a wealth
of practical reference works, Bible-
works integrates its databases with
powerful tools to analyze the original
greek and Hebrew texts.
pastors appreciate how quickly key
resources and information are displayed,
providing greater depth and insight
during sermon preparation.
“For those who study the Bible in
original languages, or who want to, i
recommend Bibleworks,” said pastor
weston williams of Bowling green,
ky. “You’ll find Bibleworks an invalu-
able tool…. i saw my study deepen
but my prep time shorten. Bibleworks
forced me to do my own study with
the original language, and it made the
process quick.”
seminary professors and students
also know how valuable it is.
“after using this program for the
last six months, i wonder how i ever
managed without it,” said nick nor-elli. “i use it on a daily basis and can’t
see my use slowing down any time
soon. i’d be hard pressed to think of a
reason not to recommend it. Trust me,
you won’t regret it.”

our kids! They’re taking responsibility for
others totally on their own initiative and

Hope of life and a future
leseA global feed the hungry:
priscilla is neither wealthy nor famous.
in fact, this young girl from kenya has
no global influence at all, except that
she is one of the one billion people the
Un considers “undernourished.” priscilla’s parents both died of aids, and
she suffers from the effects of being
HiV positive. priscilla has a dream of
becoming a doctor, but she often has
to miss school because of her health.
This is the face of hunger that Lesea
global Feed the Hungry (LgFTH) is
dedicated to ministering to.
although hunger statistics are the
worst they’ve been in four decades,
the increase is not a result of lack of
food but rather high food prices, lower
incomes and lost jobs. Therefore,
through the generous partnership of
Canadians who believe that one person can make a difference in the world,
LgFTH is committed to getting food to
those who need it most, and with it the
hope of life and a future for thousands
