The Satisfied Smile of the Sena! June 26

On the one hand, the "Sinai for Sena" project has now reached its conclusion; the mountain was climbed, funds were raised, Bibles were bought and delivered, with 3000 distributed so far. On the other hand, the effects of that project are only just being felt, and will rumble on into eternity as the distribution continues! Why? Because God’s Word is living and active, and “is able to make people wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15)……………………..

From Tyndale to Today — The Evolution of Bible Smuggling

Remember Tyndale’s illegal New Testaments that were smuggled in from Germany, hidden inside Monmouth’s bolts of luxurious cloth? In sixteenth-century England, this was the only way to get Scripture into the hands of the working classes, despite both men facing the death penalty for their actions. It reads like fiction, but people are going to the same lengths today to get God’s Word into hostile countries around the world. The difference is that nowadays the entire Bible fits on something smaller than a fingernail.

Significance in Serbia & Resurrection Reality!

April the 8th is an important date for the Romani people; it's the International Romani Day.

Reaching to Read & Powerful Prefacing!

One of my favourite photos from last year's collection was one that I took whilst at the launch of the Lambya Bible in Malawi. It’s a photo I often use when visiting churches. Across the top of the photo I quote from Psalm 119:48, which says: “I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees”. I then ask people to look at the faces of those who are eagerly reaching out for a copy of God’s Word………...

Notable Numbers & the Marvellous Match!

The New Year is a chance to look forward, but also a chance to look back to assess what we've been doing in previous years. This issue is therefore all about numbers…… whilst also recognising that it’s not all about numbers! Because, hiding behind every number, there are real precious lives that have been changed and influenced by the Word of God………………….
