Staff Reports From the Middle East: 50,000 Bibles Needed!

#2781619

“Great things are happening . . . This past year we saw more [Middle Eastern people] ask for a Bible than ever before . . . [one team] ran out of Bibles.”
— Cru® staff leader for the Middle East and North Africa

Despite being isolated in a highly secure country, Omar* came to Christ several years ago.

At the time, he hadn’t met a missionary. He hadn’t found a church. He hadn’t even found the truth online.

He had discovered a copy of God’s Word. And that was enough.

A Cru staff member explains:

“[He] grew as the Holy Spirit taught him through God’s Word, without meeting any other believers or receiving help from anyone. As he learned he began to share about his new faith with trusted friends and established a small group.

“They continued to read and study the Bible as a group . . . [eventually] the group was able to meet other Christians and interested people in their town and together they formed a church.”

This is just one of the amazing accounts we’ve seen from the Middle East of the power of the Holy Spirit at work! We are seeing incredible, unprecedented demand for God’s Word in the Middle East and North Africa.

Right now, Cru staff working in this region are asking for 50,000 more Bibles in languages like Arabic, Turkish, Persian and more.

With so many doors opening wide, will you help put God’s Word into many more hands?

Each Bible, translated into the heart language of the recipient, costs an average of just $6.75! That includes all the expenses for printing, shipping and distribution, even into the very secure nations in the Middle East.

Any amount you feel led to give, whether $20.25 for 3 Bibles, or even $101.25 for 15 Bibles, will be a tremendous blessing to those who hunger for truth but do not have God’s Word.

Thank you for your heart to send Bibles around the world!
