Michigan—In South Africa, the hunger for God’s Word far outweighs the supply. These dear people thirst for the knowledge of God and His word. But sadly, there aren’t enough Bibles to go around! That’s why Remnant Publications has agreed to head a powerful movement to collect and send 4 million Bibles to southern Africa. Yes, that seems like a big number, but Remnant believes if we work together we can ensure it happens.

Dwight Hall, Remnant's president, said, "How many Bibles are in your home? We all have them—Bibles that aren’t being used. You have the opportunity to take that extra Bible or two or three and put it into the hands of someone who will use and cherish it forever."

Remnant Publications is partnering with the South African Division. The Division president, Paul Ratsara, promises that every Bible will be given to a South African Christian who has pledged to lead at least one person to Christ during the next year. That’s an awesome pledge, but Hall says they can’t do it without Bibles. "How will they give Bible studies? How will they share hope in discouragement without God’s Word?

"That’s where you and Remnant get involved! Will you make a commitment to share a Bible or two or three—and even make a financial gift for more Bibles? We have worked out an incredible deal to purchase even more Bibles for just $2 per Bible."

With so many people involved in this project, the ways people collect Bibles vary as much as the different Bibles we receive. Here are a few ideas that have been shared with Remnant.
