China needs more Bibles than expected

Apr 22, 2016

CHINA: On a recent trip, Bibles for China helped come alongside China’s churches. During the visit, Bibles for China helped resource the Church with 10,000 Bibles. Still, this isn’t enough to quench the ever-growing thirst for God’s Word.

“The need that exists is not a need that goes away…the new believers that are coming to Christ probably exceed the number of Bibles that we’re able to deliver,” Bibles for China’s Wendell Rovenstine explains with.

Those 10,000 Bibles were just a drop in a bucket. Truthfully, it’s a great problem to have. But, it’s a problem because these churches are continually sharing the Good News with others. Some churches are even reaching out to communities suffering from HIV and AIDS.

“They are teaching. They are training. They’re involved in ministry. They’re speaking the Truth. They’re inviting people to Christ. It’s a pretty healthy body of believers that have a great need for God’s Word,” Rovenstine says. 

As Rovenstine and other team members prepared to leave China and head back to the United States, church leaders asked him if the next time he came, that he would bring even more Bibles. To answer this request, Rovenstine is inviting you to come and walk alongside China’s churches, too.--MNN
