Ministry distributing tens of thousands of Bibles in China where there's a 'thirst to learn more about Jesus'

Even though Christians are heavily persecuted in China, there has been a steady increase of Christianity in the country over the years. In fact, the ministry Bibles for China believes China is slowly shaping up to be one of the world's most Christian nations.

Bibles for China has been distributing Bibles in the Asian country for almost five years now, and they have already handed out tens of thousands of Bibles. Just last December, they were able to distribute 10,000 Bibles.

"Constantly, we hear (the people) say to us, 'This Bible will touch a generation for Christ because it will be shared with family and their families,'" Bibles for China's Wendell Rovenstine told Mission News Network. "We feel sowing God's Word in the interior part of China opens up a great opportunity for God to move."

Bibles for China plans to expand its mission by training local pastors to help spread God's Good News. During their upcoming mission trip to China, the ministry's representatives will be staying "one day longer with a pastor that is prepared and equipped."

"We have power point presentations that they can work from. The pastor is spending a day of just giving leadership principles from God's Word," shared Rovenstine.

Bibles for China says there is a "thirst among the Chinese to learn more about Jesus Christ and develop a deeper relationship with Him." This is why the ministry's leaders are planning to raise enough funds to enable them to distribute Bibles written in China's primary language, Mandarin. They said they have already partnered with 28 ministry organisations from different countries to achieve this goal.

"He's provided. We just thank Him and thank our partners that are going to Bibles for China's website and accepting the leadership of the Lord to do what He calls them to do," said Rovenstine.
