Project Information:
If there was one Book that you would want to share what would that be? Which Book would you invest time, effort and finance into?
Over the last couple of years we have been connected with an exciting large project to print an ideal sharing Bible with good features and low prices. This international project is now coming to fruition with the initial print run starting soon. The ‘Blue Bibles’ have the full KJV Bible text with good size print and approximately 150 additional pages of study aids and information about the Bible.
We have the opportunity to get a large amount of these at their production costs and are aiming to bring a shipping container loaded with these Bibles into New Zealand and we need your help to make this project most effective!
There is a large initial outlay for these Bibles and we are initially aiming to raise about $45,000 to help offset shipping and printing costs which will get the Bibles down to a very affordable $5 each. We already have a little over $5000 raised from some folk who have been aware of the project coming up. The more that is raised the lower the price can be, or the more Bibles we can get in the future.
You can help in two ways: You can donate to help reduce the costs, or you can commit to purchasing and sharing Bibles. We look forward to working with you to get Bibles into the hands of anyone with a need for God’s Word.
You can donate directly to our bank account (details on back page) or via our website. Or feel free to contact us directly to learn more about this exciting project which aims to get the Best Book into the hands and homes of as many people as possible
Since the Bible is so valuable in passing the messages of truth we have ongoing projects to share these as much as possible especially in areas that have great needs. We work with individual projects and trusted contacts in each of these locations. Sometimes we work with local Bible Societies and other times we send Bibles directly from us.
There has been amazing support for this ongoing project to supply Bibles in various foreign countries as well as projects here in New Zealand, both supplying Bibles or enabling people to get them to share. As well as the needs there are also people who have a passion for sharing God's word and are willing to contribute to support each mission field.
We aim to connect these needs and people like you who may be willing to help with a regular fund for Bible projects. Any excess funds for one project will follow over to the next.

By the time we came to the ministry Monday, August 1, all 200 Bibles were paid for.
