We are in the midst of sending emails to thousands of churches around the world, letting them know about the free Bible story resources at Bible for Children. We have begun with the English-speaking countries of Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK and South Africa. Many Christians everywhere are searching for resources in their own language, and they are so thankful when they discover our website.
Our immediate plan is to contact 15,000 churches in 27 countries. This may seem a lot, but there are probably over a million churches on this planet, so we have barely begun. Our email has to be translated into the language of each non-English country.
To help complete this project, we need many volunteers willing to search the Internet to find church email addresses in a country the Lord may lay upon their heart.
Blessing 10,000 Winnipeg Homes
This Fall, with the help of many volunteers, we will distribute Bible story tracts to 10,000 homes in Winnipeg. Each house will receive a set of 6 Bible stories: When God Made Everything; The Start of Man’s Sadness; Noah and the Great Flood; The Birth of Jesus; The First Easter; and Heaven - God’s Beautiful Home. Please pray for a great impact for the Gospel, with many children coming to know Jesus.
What a wonderful opportunity you have to reach children in your area. You may want to tackle a similar outreach in Winnipeg, or in another city, or perhaps a smaller one just on your street. We have full-colour Bible story tracts in many languages. BFC will supply all the Bible stories you need at no cost to you. Just email us.
Bible For Children knows no borders. We rejoice when new inroads are made to people groups where there is little or no Gospel material in their mother tongue. However, we also want to be conscious of the spiritual needs right here in our own ‘backyard’.
An entry in Wikipedia reads as follows: More than a hundred languages are spoken in Winnipeg, of which the most common is English. Other languages spoken as a mother tongue include Tagalog (5.0%), German (2.5%), Punjabi and Ukrainian (both 1.4%). Aboriginal languages are also spoken, such as Ojibwe (.3%) and Cree (.2%).
Further, the 2011 National Household Survey reported the religious make-up of Winnipeg as: 63.7% Christian (all branches of Christendom); 1.7% Muslim; 1.6% Jewish; 1.5% Sikh; 1.0% Hindu; 1.0% Buddhist; 0.3% traditional (Aboriginal) spirituality; 0.4%
