General Infomation
The
following is a detailed statement describing our organizational activities. These activities include:
(1)
A free cassette tape lending library consisting of over 3000 tapes containing
Christian books, recorded by various volunteer readers, messages by
outstanding Bible teachers and conference speakers, and sermons by well-known
pastors and teachers. These
cassettes are copied from our original masters on our Recordex 330 speed
duplicator. We mail out these
tapes to our patrons throughout the United States and Canada for periods up to
sixty days in plastic mailing containers containing four to six cassettes
each. These containers are made
and adapted especially for the blind with snap fasteners and a slide-in
address frame for easy access and return for repeated usage. Please fill out form
for more information.
(2)
We print braille Bible lessons on our computer-driven ET RD-40 braille
printer. Our blind students
receive their lesson booklets free of charge, mailed out "free matter for
the blind" anywhere in the world. We have students receiving our braille
Bible lessons throughout the United States, Canada, England, West Malaysia,
Brazil, India, Pakistan, and several African nations.
The students return their lesson reports to us and receive a nice
certificate printed both in braille and ink print upon the satisfactory
completion of each Bible course. Please fill out form
for more information.
(3)
We also do personal counseling with many of these blind correspondents on
cassette tape, by braille letter, and on the telephone.
(4)
I, Pastor Bill Keathley, have the privilege of serving as chaplain for several
organizations of the blind. My duties as chaplain include such things as leading in
prayer at our monthly meetings, spiritual encouragement, counseling as
requested, and visiting the sick at home or in the hospital.
(5) We conduct a monthly Bible study, luncheon, and transportation on the Third Saturday of each month at Brevard Baptist Association Building in Rockledge, Florida.
(6)
During the year, we conduct special services in churches including messages challenging the parishioners concerning the needs of the
blind to be reached, invited, and transported to attend church.
These services are conducted by Pastor and Mrs. Bill Keathley and
daughter, Lilianna.
