About this effort
The Impact
It is especially important that new Christians have access to God’s Word in their own language. Your gift will help provide God’s sacred word to believers in many countries, including some who have come to Christ living in diaspora. This is one of the easiest ways you can make a difference in the lives of fellow believers.
The Opportunity
The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to provide Bibles for new Christians in various languages. All gifts of any size are welcomed.
A Bible in his or her own language may be one of the most precious gifts a new Christian ever receives. The Bible is the foundation for growth in the faith for every Christian and a powerful tool in leading people to Christ. Unfortunately, in many places in the world, Bibles are not available, are too expensive, or are not translated into a believer’s native language. The Outreach Foundation seeks partners to help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ by providing a Bible to those new to the faith.
Below are examples of how The Outreach Foundation is getting Bibles into the hands of people who desperately need them.
China: Pastors need study Bibles in China. $10 will help keep the house church movement alive with sound Biblical teaching from pastors.
Ukraine: In times of war, the Bible is a sought-after book. People are coming to know the Lord even near the front lines of the war between Ukraine and Russia. They need Bibles to study God’s word.
Iran: The underground, house church movement is thriving in Iran, but Bibles are needed for believer. $25 puts a Bible in the hands of a believer in Iran.
South Sudan and Ethiopia: Hundreds of thousands of refugees are in seven UN refugee camps outside of Gambella, Ethiopia. They need a Bible ($7) in their language. We have sent 25,000 but need more. Currently 352,000 refugees live in the camps and there are 178 organized churches. They need the word of God.
Brazil: The church is thriving in Brazil, but they need Bibles in a big way as pastors travel to remote villages and establish churches.
Peru: Bibles are needed for our newest partner in Lima as they conduct Bible studies using the Bible Discovery Series.
