Did you know that the extra Bible you have sitting on the shelf, sitting in a desk drawer or taking up space in your closet is in great demand? People all over the world are clamoring for Bibles. There are those that pray regularly that somehow, someday, God will provide them a copy of His Word.
So imagine if there was a ministry that collects Bibles and distributes them around the world to meet that need. Well there is and its name is Mission Cry. Jason Woolford is president and executive director and he joined Jim to speak about this organization and how it mobilizes everyday Christians to help them distribute used Bibles to those in need.
Operating since 1956, Mission Cry began with a junk dealer who found some used Bibles and Christian books and didn’t want to throw them out. He saved them until they became one full box and sent it off to India. Since then, Mission Cry has sent over 480 million dollars worth of used Bibles and Christian materials to over 178 nations. They came via people from around America as statistics show that the average American home has 6 Bibles sitting on shelves.
At Mission Cry the Bibles they take in get sorted, palletized and shrink wrapped. Then when they’re sponsored (sponsoring a container costs $11,000), they’re put on a sea container (a container has half a million dollars worth of free materials/30,000 people being reached per container) and get shipped to various distribution points. From there they are freely distributed to lending libraries, seminaries, colleges and for evangelism. In 2023, nations that benefited from these materials included Colombia, Pakistan, the Solomon Islands, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, India, Tanzania, Liberia, Mexico, Zambia, Nigeria and Ghana.
So if you think used, printed Bibles have no place in this era of smart phones and unlimited data plans, think again. Review this broadcast to hear just how valuable English Bibles are around the world, how you can send them from your area or perhaps sponsor your own container!
