Someone is still counting on you for a Bible 61 million Bibles is not enough. That’s how many Bibles have been openly distributed in China since the Cultural Revolution. But there’s still a huge unmet need. Each year the local churches ask for 1.5 million extra Bibles, on top of what is printed. These are Bibles made affordable because Bible Societies subsidise the paper cost. Affordable Bibles are a vital part of the 3-4 million Bibles printed in China. In fact, the 2.5 million affordable Bibles form more than half of the Scriptures distributed in China. But there’s still a massive need, like the Guo family of eight which shares two Bibles, or Ding Jujin whose old Bible was starting to fall apart. That’s why we’ve set our targets high for 2014: * Paper for 2.5 million Bibles * 50,000 free Bibles for the rural poor * Literacy lessons for 55,000 in rural areas
