Open Doors USA, a U.S.-based ministry that monitors religious persecution around the world has reached its goal of raising enough money in late November to send 100,000 Bibles to persecuted Christians in areas such as Afghanistan, North Korea, and Nigeria.
It costs about $7 per Bible to “get Scripture and discipleship materials into the hands of a persecuted Christian,”
2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Open Doors said. David Curry, President of Open Doors, called it the “greatest outpouring of support” the ministry has seen in the U.S. “It will make a tremendous difference in the lives of persecuted Christians around the world.”
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
“This includes making their own choice to own a copy of God’s Word for themselves rather than having the government or militants make that decision for them.
Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God is alive and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
We know from experience that having access to Scripture can provide not only spiritual growth but comfort and strength when faced with difficult circumstances.”
