2) What is the reason that BIBLES FOR AFRICA is a more urgent project for the world church to consider doing right now?
Answer: BIBLES FOR AFRICA are urgently needed because 70 percent of the people infected with AIDS in the world live in Africa. With a life expectancy of 46 years, many of these people will go to Christless graves unless they are reached with the truth of God’s Word—and quickly! The church in Africa is too poor to buy Bibles for members, and some people will go three days without food in order to save enough money to buy a Bible. Urgent? Yes!

4) How much does a new Bible cost and how many people will have access to it?
Answer: By God’s grace, Remnant has secured an amazing price for quality Bibles—just $2 each. That means for every $10 you give, five Bibles will go to Africa. And better yet, through sharing, up to 20 people will be blessed by a single Bible—meaning 100 people will hear about Jesus! Imagine what $50, $175, or even $1,000 could do! A donation of $1,000 will buy 500 BIBLES FOR AFRICA, which has the possibility of reaching 10,000 souls with the Word of Life.

7) Is there a special kind of Bible that you want us to collect for the BIBLES FOR AFRICA project?
Answer: We hope that most people will prefer to sponsor the new Bibles published by Remnant Publications. But regarding used Bibles, only Bibles that are in good to very good condition can be sent to Africa. We do not have any facility to repair damaged or old Bibles, so save the postage and do not send those. A personal note is appreciated, but please do not include your address. Marked or highlighted Bibles are great. Please do not buy dollar-store Bibles. Often they are printed on newsprint and the type is usually too small. We are told they wear out very quickly. At this time we are also requesting full Bibles only and no "New Testament" editions.
