Mike Pound: Student feels calling for Braille Bible mission Second of all, he thinks it’s better to make Braille Bibles available to as many people as possible, so they were donated to libraries and churches throughout the community to ensure wider availability.
With that first trip under his belt, Justin and a team of volunteers are now planning a fall trip to Ecuador. This, of course, while he is still going to school. Actually, his school work and his Bible delivery work sort of coincide. Justin sees Braille Bibles for Latin America as a mission — an extension of the things he is learning at MidAmerica and the values he is being taught. So much so that he plans to expand Braille Bibles for Latin America in the coming years. “I want this to be a viable, ongoing organization,” he said. “I don’t want it to be a one-time ministry.” If you would like more information about Braille Bibles for Latin America, you can dial up the group’s Web site at www.bbfla.org. I asked Justin about his plans for the summer. He said he was going to visit his grandparents a few more days, then head over to Southeast Kansas for a while. After that, he said, he was heading back to Kansas City. He is teaching a summer course at the School for the Blind in Kansas City. Justin is not the type to just sit around. “I don’t have to be too busy,” he said with a laugh. “But doing nothing drives me absolutely insane.” Before we ended our chat, I told Justin how proud his grandmother is of him, and he sort of chuckled. I told him that any guy who makes his grandmother proud has done something right. He laughed again. But it’s true.
