How Great is the Need?
Believers in both North Korea and China fervently pray for Bibles. In China there is only one legal Bible available for every four million believers. The danger of being on the government registry for buying a Bible is too risky for underground church members. In North Korea owning a Bible is punishable with a concentration camp sentence.
Through your prayers and your generous giving, you are a direct answer to their cries for spiritual nourishment. Every Bible is treasured, and will often be hand copied to be shared with as many people as possible.
Bibles are desperately needed for sound doctrine and to inoculate against heresy and ever prevalent cults. Thank you for the very real expansion of the Kingdom of God in recent months through the delivery of scriptures. Out of the first shipment of 200 MP3 players, 130 souls were led to Christ.
Delivered so far this year:
1248 Chinese Bibles
1500 mini North Korean New Testaments
200 MP3 players (with 270 more in progress)
Great post…the need for Bibles around the world is so great; even though Amity press (in China) prints Bibles…it’s still leaving millions of people without the word of God.

As I read this, I had a thought, maybe you’ve already thought of this, but I’ll share it, just in case.
With the technology that we have now. We could just purchase a computer and a printer for each pastor or select elder and they could print the bible from online. We could provide ink and the website with permission to print. They could print one book at a time and even rename the books with code names. We could smuggle the word in without actually carrying it across the border physically.
Love you guys!
