“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:”
– Jeremiah 31:31

I met Genie and Nancy Lowe (mother and daughter) on the campus of Bob Jones University back around 1989 or 1990 at a homeschooling conference. I was amazed at how these two women, local to Greenville, SC, had a ministry which was world wide in scope: international, multicultural, and interdenominational.

The New Covenant Couriers describes their charter: “Independent, fundamental, burdened for Israel, placing God’s promised New Covenant into the hands of God’s chosen.”

No large staff, organization, or office, (their office is located in the Greenville Rescue Mission) yet these two faithful women have given away over 34,000* bilingual Hebrew New Testament Bibles to Jewish people throughout the world! (*as of 2006) They appeared to me humble and unassuming, not trying to gain attention to themselves. When I spoke with Genie the quiet presence and power of God’s Holy Spirit spoke through her of the passion for getting the New Testament into the hands and hearts of Jewish people. I was blown away. I stayed in touch with them on occasion for a short time but since then only through their newsletters.

I receive their one-page, one-sided, black and white newsletter every so often, and I pray for Genie and Nancy every occasion they come to mind. I love to hear how, day after day, year after year, they continue to provide Hebrew New Testaments to Jewish people locally and throughout the world. I love to hear the testimonies of how they got Bibles into the hands of Jewish people in various locations. God seems to make divine appointments for these women. Here is an example of a testimony from their most recent newsletter:

“Several months ago we received a letter from a Jewish man in prison in the state of Washington. He said he was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home and requested a Hebrew/English New Testament. One of our tracts had come into his possession and he saw that the Bibles were free for Jewish people. He promised to read the New Testament if we would send him one. He said he would let us know his thoughts. It was so exciting to see his interest grow over the weeks of correspondence we had with him. At one point he said that he could see that Jesus fulfilled many of the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. And then the letter came when he wrote “I just want you to know that I trusted in Jesus Christ alone and now He is my Lord and Savior. I am saved and certain and no longer trust in the Law of Moses for salvation.” We were able to connect him with a Bob Jones University graduate who pastors a church there in Washington. This pastor also teaches a Bible study in the prison which was quite amazing to us. He emailed back that our new Jewish friend came to the class and stood up in front of 30 other prisoners and said “God has rescued me from Hell.” He then gave a testimony of his salvation. Pray for Robert. He has a life sentence, but we know he is more free now than many on the outside without Christ.”

How do they do it? Through God’s empowering grace, I’m sure. (Genie is 90 in 2006) They also have this to say:

“New Covenant Couriers is supported by gifts from churches and individuals. All donations are used for shipping and printing of Bibles and tracts, mailings, postage, office supplies, and travel expense to display Bibles in churches and conferences. No personal support is received. We are indebted to The Society for Distributing Hebrew Scriptures in England for the many thousands of Bibles they have sent to us to give to Jewish people. We are also grateful to Christians who help in support of our ministry.”

I happen to know something about the meaning of their logo. It is the Star of David with a cross across the top of the star. A small sheep looks up in wonder and amazement, looking intently for their Messiah as they look on the shadowed Star of David. David was a shadow of the Christ to come. As they gaze beyond the star they will see the cross of Christ.
