Bibles For The World is a catalyst for individual
and cultural transformation through
Christ and the power of God's Word
While the Bible remains the most popular, most read book across the globe, more than 2 billion people have never had a chance to read God’s Word. That’s why BFTW works to provide Scriptures in regions where there is little or no access to the Bible.
Since 1973, when the Partnership Mission Society became Bibles For The World, friends and partners like you have helped provide God’s Word to people in 123 Nations in a variety of forms — New Testaments, Gospels, and full Bibles. You can have a dramatic impact by helping place Scriptures in hands that are eager to read the life-transforming message of God’s love and forgiveness!

Bibles For The World works in areas where there is restricted access to God’s Word, where copies are scarce or among peoples where Christianity is beginning to take root — such as Nepal, Cambodia, areas of India and other Asian and SE Asian nations. We often provide copies of the New Testament or Gospels of John, like the ones pictured at right.

Overview of the Bible – Part 2
Continuing our series on the Bible’s storyline, this week’s look at the middle sections of Scripture picks up after the death of Moses and follows the establishment of God’s people in the Promised Land. It includes the rise and fall of Israel and Judah and the ultimate exile of the Jews because of their disobedience to God. Continuing the Bible’s Storyline… 6. The Conquest: Joshua led the next generation of Israelites into the Promised Land (1406 BC). As Moses led them through the Red Sea (Exodus 14:29), Joshua led them across the Jordan River on dry ground (Joshua 3:17). With God’s help, […]
Overview of the Bible – Part 1
Understanding the Bible should be the goal of every believer in Christ. But, unfortunately, too many people give little time to actual Bible study. Bible verses or books are picked at random to read because they are popular or they speak to a situation the reader is going through. Your understanding of God’s Word will take on an exciting and enriching dynamic when you learn the “larger story” of Scripture and how ALL of the Bible fits into a narrative that starts “in the beginning” and ends with the Revelation written by the Apostle John. The 66 books of the Bible are […]
Giving Tuesday 2020 is DECEMBER 1!
This #GivingTuesday — December 1 — you can help provide God’s Word to people in several regions of China… One significant event that HASN’T changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic is GIVING TUESDAY 2020 — that special day in the midst of so-called “consumer holidays”, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

In Memoriam: Pastor Elson J. Thiek
On September 14, EFCI Child Evangelist, Pastor Elson J. Thiek, suffered a fall from about 20′ while helping with a church construction at Hmarkhawlien. He was rushed to a nearby clinic, and then to a hospital at Silchar, where they were able to do a CAT scan. Pastor Thiek had suffered severe head injuries, and needed emergency surgery at Gauhati, but while they were arranging transportation to Gauhati, he passed into the arms of our Savior before surgery could be performed. Pastor Elson was one of the first graduates from the Partnership Mission Society English School, and received his B.Th. (2010) […]
A Harvest in Asia
For the past several years, Bibles For The World has explored ways to reach the difficult regions of East and Southeast Asia. Recent work in China and Cambodia has resulted in more than one million people receiving printed copies of God’s Word. But now God is prompting Bibles For The World and a number of strategic partners to advance the reach of the Gospel throughout East and Southeast Asia . God is preparing for an enormous spiritual harvest of souls in places like: Vietnam – Cambodia – Myanmar – Mongolia – China – Japan and more! That’s why Bibles For […]
Loss of a Friend
Bibles For The World joins with millions of Christ-followers in mourning the loss of Ravi Zacharias, who passed away May 19 after a brief battle with sarcoma, a very aggressive cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. Dr. Ravi came to faith through the ministry of Youth for Christ. Since that moment, he dedicated his life as a servant for God, spreading the Gospel and sharing his wisdom on apologetics around the globe. His home going was a bittersweet event for Bibles For The World president and CEO John L. Pudaite. “Ravi and my dad, Rochunga […]
CARE Packages for Families in India
While the corona virus has raced across the globe, it has left in its wake different kinds of suffering. For many, it has been the “inconvenience” of sheltering in place. Others have faced weeks of painful symptoms and hospitalization. And, tragically, hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. Some regions, however, tend to suffer more than others — especially those where millions live in extreme poverty, where the loss of even a meager income can mean devastation to a family. That is the case in NE India, where Bibles For The World’s many ministry activities are focused. BFTW employs nearly […]
Sielmat Christian Hospital Prepares for COVID-19
For decades, Bibles For The World has helped meet the healthcare needs of the poor in its home region in Manipur, NE India. Sielmat Christian Hospital treats thousands of patients each year for a variety of injuries, diseases and preventive actions. The Hospital has been directed by the Manipur state government to prepare 10 beds in an isolation ward for a possible outbreak of COVID-19 in the state. This order has been complied with, though the Hospital is severely lacking in the equipment/supplies to fully comply. As India has now gone into a 21-day lockdown until April 15, there is […]
Expand the Reach of the Gospel
It still seems unfathomable that large portions of the world’s population remain unreached with the Gospel… Take a look at the map above. The red dots indicate the locations of identifiable people groups with at least 5,000 people that have yet to be reached with the message of God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. “How can it be,” people are inclined to ask, “that after two centuries the work of the Great Commission is not yet completed?” It’s a valid question. What is shocking is the sheer number of unreached people groups — and the total population — of […]
Bibles For Bogota Blesses Thousands

Being a Blessing
When the opportunity comes to be a blessing to others, you take it. Bibles For The World provided such an opportunity to a group of World Racers and a group from Project Cure last week. The groups combined with staff from Sielmat Christian Hospital to bless the lives of thousands of residents of Churachandpur, a community in northeast India’s Manipur State. A free Medical Camp was held to provide services and treatments to people in poverty who would, otherwise, be unable to afford medical care. “We had quite a four-day event,” said John Pudaite, president of Bibles For The World.

Remembering Billy Graham
Bibles For The World joins with millions to mourn the passing of Rev. Billy Graham. BFTW founder Dr. Rochunga Pudaite met Rev. Graham in Glasgow in 1955 where the evangelist was preparing to hold crusades. “Ro” was a young student at the Bible Training Institute in Glasgow and had volunteered to help promote the upcoming crusade by the American evangelist. Ro was surprised to receive phone call inviting him to meet Graham at his hotel. “I’ve heard reports from various prayer groups that your whole tribe back in India is praying for our crusade in Scotland,” said Graham. “It is true,” […]
Learn the Bible (in a YEAR!)
Bibles For The World launches new initiative to promote Bible knowledge. “People who READ the Bible have a greater appreciation of the power of God’s Word to transform lives overseas,” says John Pudaite, president of Bibles For The World. While the ministry focuses the vast majority of its activity across regions of the world where God’s Word is scarce, Pudaite is concerned about the growing level of Bible illiteracy in the United States. “Because of our focus on the power of God’s Word to transform lives we have a unique opportunity to help foster a new appreciation for the Bible […]

Turn on the LIGHT for Children in India
You Can Help Provide the Gift of LIGHT to Dispel the Darkness in India! Turn on the light. The darkness that shrouds your home at night gives way to the warm glow of a reading lamp — or a nice, shaded table lamp ideal for watching TV. Light pushes away darkness and the fears that sometimes accompany inky, black nights. You and I are accustomed to flipping a switch that makes this magic happen every evening when the sun slips below the horizon. But for the thousands of children attending Bibles For The World’s schools in India — children sponsored by […]
Update on Seiboi — God is Working Miracles!
You may have read the earlier post about Seiboi, a young father who had a tragic accident while working that left him paralyzed and bedridden — Provide Healing and HOPE for this Young Man By the grace of God, Seiboi has improved daily with the help of a physiotherapist who has decided to treat the young father at Sielmat Christian Hospital so he would not have to journey to treatment he and his family could not afford.

Physicians don’t expect […]
