Free Bible Distribution Project
Population: 30,000 | 2022 Budget: ₦45000000.00 | Project Number: 000036
A former armed robber, now an Evangelist, changed his language from, “Your money or your life!” to, “God bless you”, having met Jesus Christ in prison through our free Bible distribution efforts. There are many more like him in the prisons, people living without a hope in IDP Camps, hospital beds and similar places who need God's word to make a message of their mess. The Free Bible Distribution Project is a unique intervention to bridge this gap. The programme was created to ensure the wide
spread of the Bible through Evangelism. It is designed to encourage donation
for Bible on monthly and or quarterly basis
to support the free distribution of Bibles in different languages as the needs
and requests arise, to Prisons, Churches, IDP
Camps, Destitute, Women of easy virtue, Hospital
wards and ultimately, Evangelical Missions. Not all
Evangelical Missions can afford the Bibles they need for evangelism. Daily,
weekly and on monthly basis, we receive requests from Churches, individuals and
evangelical missions for free supply of Bibles to support their new comers to the Church and evangelism drives.
Unfortunately, many of these requests go unmet due to lack of provisions for
the same. It is desired that this project will meet identified and indicated
needs and requests respectively for Scriptures from evangelical
missions. Essentially, the reason for running this project is to meet
areas of needs identified above. We plan to visit Prisons, IDP Camps, and Hospital wards every quarter of the year from October 2022 to distribute the Bibles free in
conjunction with prison and hospital ministries to achieve the following:
- Put the Bible in the hand of
every willing prisoner we encounter in a language and format they can read and
understand
- Ensure that every
Nigerian home has at least a copy of the Bible in a language and format they can read
and understand
- Ensure that requests for Bibles from
evangelical missions and Churches to meet the needs of their new converts are met
- Ensure hospital wards without the Bible are equipped with the Scriptures
- Meet the Scriptural needs of Nigerians who desire a copy of the Bible but cannot afford the same
- Meet the Scriptural needs of internally displaced persons and others in like situations and so on.
The approach is to have willing Nigerians heartily donate for 5,000 copies of the Bible every quarter at a unit rate of #1,500 per copy.
