BRING BIBLES TO
Isolated Communities
THE CAUSE
Around the world, people in isolated communities are living under pressure. Many have been suffering due to war, conflict, persecution, and poverty, all of which has only been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bible Societies are working to reach out to people in these marginalised communities to bring them the Hope of the Bible, to help in our endeavours to end Bible poverty, and to encourage Bible engagement.
This month, our focus is on Brazil, Armenia, and Vietnam.
THE IMPACT
By making a gift today, here is the impact you will be having:
- BRAZIL: help distribute 1,000 solar-powered Bibles, 2,000 Bibles and New Testaments per month, 8,000 biblical portions per month, 5,000 New Testaments in tribal languages, and five hundred Torch audio Bibles.
- ARMENIA: you will help to distribute eight Bibles, 200 children’s Bibles and 2,500 Moving Gospel New Testament selections. It will also help train local priests to assist with the ‘Moving Gospel: Good News for Border Villages’ project.
- VIETNAM: you will be bringing free Bibles, New Testaments, New Reader portions, and children’s Bibles to Christians in poor, rural churches.
Sophia (whose name has been changed) is a young Hmong woman. Her parents became Christians after listening to Christian radio in the 1990s. Sophia still remembers the overwhelming feeling when she received her first Bible.
“I was in the 12th grade. I received it from a church member. After work, I quietly found a corner to sit and read the book. The more I read, the more love I felt for God. The Bible was like my best friend. At that time, I often struggled with loneliness and self-pity. The Bible pulled me out of those feelings. The Word of God brought me hope for the future,” said Sophia.
Can you help bring the Hope of the Word of God to more people living in isolated communities like Sophia?
