Bibles for China

Mission Statement

Bibles for China exists to provide Bibles, free of charge, to Christians living in remote, economically depressed areas of rural mainland China in their own language.

Ministry Description

Bibles for China serves people who already know the love of God, but whose incomes do not allow them to purchase anything other than basic needs. Their Bible reading is restricted to pages they have copied, passages they have memorized, or tattered Bibles shared among the village.

Previous generations have not had the opportunity to openly distribute Bibles to those in China for fear of negative consequences from authorities. Today, that is no longer true. The door is open to give rural Chinese Christians the spiritual resources they need and pray for — the resources they need to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and bring new people into the family of God

There are approximately 1.3 billion people in China, nearly one fifth of the world’s population. It is estimated that there are over 100 million Christians in China and that as many as 30,000 more are coming to faith in Christ each day, most of whom will never be able to afford their own Bible. Because Bibles for China is committed to operating openly and legally, the organization is treated as a welcome guest in China. They are permitted to verify the distribution of complete copies of God’s Holy Word in many provinces with the assistance of the local authorities. God has called Bibles for China to put His Word into the hands of His people in economically depressed rural areas of China.
