Bible Senders
It has been estimated that 50% of the world has never even seen one verse of Scripture. 75% of the world do not own a Bible 94% of all Christian workers minister to only 6% of the world's population, using 94% of all contributions to do so. Our focus is the other 94% of the world. How sad these statistics are. With the world's population at approximately 6.4 billion that is about 4.8 billion people who do not own a bible. The Bibles says in Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." How can this world be reached with such a lack of scriptures. The World is starved for Bibles while we in America take ours for granted. I remember reading a story about a church in India who were blessed enough to have one bible for the entire congregation. Do you know how they got bibles for the rest of the church. They would divide the bibles among the members 20 pages to one family 20 pages to another. The family would then take the pages home and copy them and then swap until they had a complete bible.
Bible Senders of Walworth Baptist Church hopes to change this. In 2003 we started a ministry where we send new and used bibles as well as tracts and other scriptures to places all over the world including the 10/40 window. The 10/40 Window is an area of the world that contains the largest population of non-Christians in the world. The area extends from 10 degrees to 40 degrees North of the equator, and stretches from North Africa across to China. It is estimated that half the world's population lives in this area and it is the least evangelized. If you are interested in helping this ministry here are a few ideas. First and foremost Please pray for God's blessing and leading in this work. Secondly we are looking for churches collect to bibles. When I first started this ministry my family had 7 bibles in our house. Many Christians have multiple bibles why not put them to good use. Thirdly we are praying for other churches to partner with us financially to help with this work. Bibles and Donations can be sent to Bible Senders 39241 120th Ave Ulen, Mn 56585 E-mail me at biblesenders@gmail.com or visit our website at www.thebiblesenders.info |

BibleSender, I wish I can help financially but I will surely pray for Bibles to Madagascar. The link you posted on Madagascar broke my heart about missions. God bless your Bible sending ministry!
