Africa is the second largest continent in the world with over 900 million people, a number which is expected to triple by 2050. In this land of 3,500 ethnic groups and over 2,000 languages, where one third of the people live on less than one dollar a day, the most pressing need is not economic reform, political reform, or even basic sustenance. The most pressing need is for Bibles. The vast majority of African Christians do not have a Bible they can study for themselves, and the even greater number of African Muslims do not have access to a Bible which they are in fact eager to read for themselves. The Bible League is helping to end this Bible famine by providing copies of God’s Word to people who participate in bible studies and then help plant churches. For every four dollars you contribute, an African desperate to study the Bible for herself receives one. You can call 1-800-YES-WORD (1-800-937-9673) or click on this link to send the most valuable form of aid you can to these precious people.
