Re-purposing Bibles for the curious

We have the opportunity to live in a time where nearly everyone has access to the Bible in their own language. According to Wikipedia, the Bible has been translated into 670 languages, the New Testament has been translated into 1,521 languages and other portions of the Bible have been translated into 1,121 languages.

​

Recent estimates place the number of Bibles printed at over 5 billion. Today, there are enough for each person in the world to have a personal Bible. This would have been unthinkable just 500 years ago, let alone 2000 years ago at Jesus' time.

​

Yet many Bibles end up unused collecting dust on a shelf, in thrift stores, or at the back of our mind. Although a quarter of the world's population professes to believe in the Bible, only a fraction has actually read it.

We utilize social media and online marketplaces to connect donated Bibles with curious people.
