A SCRIPTURE STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY

WE GIVE MORE
THAN JUST BIBLES

Today, millions still do not have access to God's Word. That is real... and placing Scripture into someone's hands for the first time is a profound joy, but the greater crisis runs deeper than just distribution.

The world needs Scripture driven discipleship, owned and championed by the local church. This is what we do. We train pastors, place Scripture into hands, and equip local churches to carry God's Word forward, generation after generation.

SHEPHERD

THE WORD
We train pastors to teach God’s Word faithfully and clearly.

SEND

THE WORD
We give God’s Word to churches in a form that is best received.

SOUND

THE WORD
We equip churches to share God’s Word into local communities.

Keeps a village pastor in accessible Biblical Training: meals, shelter, printed curriculum, and real, in person, localized discipleship, taught in his own heart language.

After 11 months, a stack of translated Bibles is entrusted to his church, and an Audio Bible Listening Group begins within the community, extending gospel impact from one pastor, to the members, and to the entire community for years to come.
