The Bible League helps by providing God’s Word to people
around the world who complete a series of Bible studies designed
to lead them from evangelism to discipleship. The strategy
behind the studies is based on the story in Acts 8, where Philip
explains an Old Testament passage to a traveling Ethiopian,
who then accepts Christ:
“Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip
asked. “How can I,” [the Ethiopian] said, “unless
someone explains it to me.” So he invited Philip to
come up and sit with him.
(Acts 8:30-31)
We teach Christians from local churches around the world how
to explain the Good News to family members, friends, neighbors,
and others in their communities through Bible studies. As new
believers study side-by-side with local Christians, their understanding
of Scripture increases, their relationships with local churches
deepen, and their new faith is fed by fellowship with other
church members. When those people finish the studies, they
receive their own copies of God’s Word, which they can
then share with others.
The key is discipleship.
Discipleship combined with Bible study is essential for nurturing
faith. Without it, such faith is like a seed on rocky soil—it
cannot last without roots. Our Bible studies supply fertile
soil.
In 2007, the Bible League placed 17,713,004 Scriptures with
people around the world who hunger for His Word. Since 1938,
the Bible League has provided God’s Word to people in
more than 60 countries, and in over 700 languages. But millions
of people are still waiting for their own Bible.
