Challenges!
I challenge you to go through your house and count how many Bibles you have. Please post a comment with the number you find.
While in Malawi last fall I was impacted with a great need for Bibles. Everywhere we went people asked us to share the word. They would walk great distances to hear the word. They would wait a long time to hear the word. They would sit in the hot sun or under a tree on the ground while we shared the word. They also begged for Bibles. The Bibles that we did see in Malawi were well used.
We spent several days working in one prison. There were over 500 inmates sharing 4 Bibles! This was not unusual!
The cost for Bibles is very comparable to the United States. But income levels are not. For about $10 a Bible can be purchased in Malawi. $10 in the USA is not much money. When your annual income is less than $500 that puts things in a new light.
I challenge you to do two things.
Spend more time in the Word of God! Value the Bible you do have and show it by using it and applying it!
Consider helping to buy Bibles for new Christians in Malawi!
How many Bibles do you have?
I found 18 in my house!
