ENGAGE Hearts & Minds

With Scripture In The Gulf States, Liberia, and Slovenia

THE CAUSE

We believe in the life-changing power of God’s Word, and we’re dedicated to spreading its message around the world. Today, we prayerfully invite you to join us in supporting Bible engagement initiatives that are making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

In the Gulf States, Liberia, and Slovenia, Bible Societies are actively engaging migrant workers, new believers, and lay people with Scripture in meaningful ways. Through your support, we can empower these initiatives and bring the transformative power of God’s Word to those who need it most.

THE IMPACT

Your donation will help in:

  • Supporting seminars for migrant church leaders in the Gulf on Christian doctrine and theology, alongside Bible distribution.
  • Implementing the End2End Bible engagement programme in Liberia to nurture new believers in rural areas.
  • Reinvigorating the faith of lay people in Slovenia by establishing small Bible reading groups.

Currently, the Bible Society of Liberia is implementing its End2End programme to support new believers in rural regions, which comprises of four strands: Faith Comes by Hearing (FCBH) listening groups, literacy classes, Scripture distribution, and assisting new believers to connect with local churches.

The initiative fits well in this context, where 85 per cent of Liberia’s 5.5 million population identify as Christian. But many challenges persist, such as an estimated 50 per cent living below the poverty line and literacy rates being low.

An important strand of the work is literacy classes. One who has benefitted from the literacy classes is mother and grandmother, Rebecca. “I am old, but the literacy programme at my church has helped me to read and write in my own language. I now read Scripture lessons in my church and teach my children and grandchildren at home. My literacy abilities have even led to my selection as a reviewer for the Maan Bible translation team. What a promotion!” says Rebecca.

Your support will help bring the transformative power of God’s Word to more lives like Rebecca’s.  Join us in standing with the Bible Societies in the Gulf, Liberia and Slovenia, so together, we can strengthen the faith of believers in these countries.
