BIBLE FOR THE NEW MEMBERS: What efforts are you undertaking to promote the expansion of the Kingdom of God worldwide?
Surprisingly, many individuals possess multiple Bibles in their homes, churches, and libraries. Yet, in another part of the world, thousands have never read the Bible in their mother tongue since their conversion to Christianity. As our mission is to “Make Christlike Disciples,” reading God's Word is a powerful way to bring people closer to this path.
By contributing funds for one to get a Bible, you are directly enabling a person's first-time reading of the Bible in their language, a truly transformative experience. The ongoing war in South Sudan has led to the displacement of millions of people to neighboring countries, disrupting all essential services. Discipleship is mandatory for new believers, and it requires a lot of attention. However, thousands of Nazarene congregations and church members don't have a Bible, making it difficult for them to read and grow spiritually.
We need 5,000 Bibles, with 4,500 copies in Nuer, 300 in Dinka, 100 in Arabic, and 100 in English. Each Bible costs $10, and we seek your support to provide these congregations with at least the Word of God. We ask that you keep them in your prayers as well.
