God's Word Impacts Lives

As Bible League International is entering a new year it is good to reflect and be aware of our goal to end the Bible Famine.

Bible League receives many encouraging stories of lives changed and the impact that God's Word has upon lives:



“I was amazed when I first heard the Word of God,” says Wang, who received a Bible of his very own. “I began to read the Bible daily, and my life changed. God told me to feed thousands of people with the Word of God! Since then, there’s been no turning back. Only His Word can satisfy people’s spiritual hunger.”  Wang, Asia-Pacific

“I was immediately pleased and touched by how the people truly cared for me,” she says. “At the camp, I studied God’s Word and came to understand that Jesus loves me. I learned I can have a personal relationship with Him." Umut, Kyrgyzstan

"It (Bible) is a great tool for evangelism! It is very likely that Turkish Muslims will read the Easy-to-Read™ New Testament, because it offers a style they are familiar with for a Holy Book. The language is also very good for street evangelism and correspondence courses. The ultimate objective has to be to connect people to a church." Pastor, Turkey  

Bibles and portions
  • Bible League International provides Bibles and portions through partnerships with churches and ministries that have a commitment to evangelism and discipleship.
  • Thousands receive Scriptures provided by Bible League International every day, opening the opportunity for lives to be transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • The goal is to provide complete Bibles in an easy-to-read form in the 100 most widely-spoken languages of the world. While translation is underway, we provide portions electronically as they become available.
  • Where Easy-to-Read™ Bibles are not yet available we will supply other translations.
  • ERV Scriptures that BLI provides include:
    • Complete Bible
    • New Testament
    • Gospels, and
    • Book of Proverbs
    • The Life of Jesus, a composite of the Gospels from Easy-to-ReadTM translations. 
    • The Easy-to-ReadIllustrated Bible is used by children and adults.
    • Bible-based literacy curricula
During 2012 Bible League International provided more than 1.6 million Bibles/New Testaments to ministry partners in 42 countries.  

It is a great privilege and wonderful experience to be involved in a ministry that touches thousands of lives and has eternal consequences.  May God continue to be honoured and glorified through Bible League International.
