Getting the Seed Out Of The Barn!

Monday March 2nd, 2026, a crew of men from HBF and the community in Cass County loaded up a 20' container with our first shipment of Albanian Bibles recently translated from the King James Bible by Erion & Jonita Vogli. Pastor Bob Hall took on the challenge of producing as many bibles as possible in the month of February to meet the needs of the roll out of this project in Albania in April. By God's grace Word First Bible Publishing and our sister churches in the Living Faith Fellowship, the parallel partners of Heartland Baptist Fellowship and gracious members of the Cass County community poured hours and hours into assembling God's word in record time. By the last weekend in February the final box of whole bibles was packed and 12,000 whole Albanian bibles were ready to be shipped to Albania! 

Pastor Joe McCaig and our sister church in Decatur, Alabama also took on the challenge of preparing 100,000 John and Romans in less than four weeks! As it ended up it only took a few weeks and they shipped the John and Romans for shipping a week ahead of schedule! What an amazing grace God has bestowed on the publishing of his preserved word. May God bless it's transport as the publishing of God's word to the Albanian speaking peoples will begin in earnest with this pure word upon its arrival in Albania in the coming weeks. Please continue to pray for the shipment as it travels to port and clears customs in Albania. We are trusting God to get the word of God in the hearts and hands of Albanian speaking people's by God's grace and for his glory.
