This year, God opened new doors for Bible distribution. At the heart of this ministry is one word: partnership. We don’t simply deliver Bibles and walk away. We come alongside international pastors, churches, and leaders who long to see God’s Word transform their communities.

For example, we recently purchased Bibles in Uganda and covered 90% of the cost. The local church raised the remaining 10%. Their pastor said he was amazed by what his congregation gave—this step made it easier for the church to actively disciple within the community of believers.

In many places, churches are now contributing toward the Bibles they receive. These subsidized Bibles empower indigenous believers in discipleship because God’s Word is more accessible.

So far in 2025, we have distributed 149,000 Bibles worldwide. Of these:

75% were fully funded by Heralds of Hope. 25% (over 40,000 Bibles) were subsidized in partnership with indigenous churches.

This is a beautiful picture of the goal we are pursuing: self-sustaining, disciple-making communities around the world.

In other places, partnership looks different. In Ghana, we cover the entire cost of Bible orders because the recipients are children in school. Each child studies through a series of workbooks, and upon graduating from the course, they receive their own Bible. What a beautiful picture of what your support is bringing about in Africa!

The fruit of this ministry is seen in lives changed: In Pakistan, Brother R. testified, “I had been in sin all my life, but after hearing God’s Word, I confessed, repented, and came to know my value in God’s sight.” He received a Bible with joy, thanking God for this gift.
