4 Life Bibles - Soroti Youth Camp

We have purchased 1,000 New Testament Youth Bible’s!! After quite a bit of work and prayer getting them to Uganda, we have been able to give out our first 75 to youth camp in a small town in Soroti, Uganda about a six hour bus ride outside of the city. Help from Portland Bible College, Origin Young Adults and City Christian Highschool made the purchase possible at $3 a Bible. As you can see in the picture these Bible’s are trendy and catchy. They include cool quotes, analogies, and stories scattered throughout the Bible that increase the relevancy of the words to young people. Actually, they are so popular and attractive that if anything, we have had difficulty making sure that these young people can actually, really read English! But, many of the young people do not own their own Bible and this Bible includes studies, on salvation, abstinence, self-worth and peer pressure. We continue to look for, pray for and strategize for opportunities where these Bible’s will have a live-changing impact.
