The fingerprints of those participating in a "huge" youth-led Bible
drive this holiday season will travel across the globe, according to the
Rev. Jason Woolford, executive director of Christian Resources
International.
A youth group of SonRise Church hopes to donate 20,000 Bibles by Dec. 20 to the Fowler-ville-based nonprofit.
"We

Jordan Belanger, 14, whom the Rev. Patrick Erck credits with the idea.
Erck,
a youth and student pastor of the church, said the Bibles will be
distributed by the nonprofit in Africa and India. They will be used by
pastors, evangalists and missionaries who don't have access to such
Christian support materials.
"We're reclaiming used literature, so it helps the environment while helping to boost literacy," Erck said.
