Why Scripture?
Why the Printed Bible Still Matters
In our increasingly digital age, the printed Word of God remains an essential tool for evangelism and discipleship. A physical copy of Scripture can go where digital devices cannot. It doesn't require electricity, an internet connection, or technical literacy. For many people in remote villages, a printed copy of John and Romans or a New Testament might be the first book they ever own. It becomes a cherished possession that is read, re-read, and passed among family and friends, continuing to bear fruit long after it is first received.
Why Scripture Distribution Still Works
God has promised that His Word will not return void. Throughout history, countless souls have been saved simply by reading a copy of Scripture that was placed in their hands. When missionaries and national pastors distribute the printed Word, they are leaving behind a silent witness that speaks to the heart long after they have moved on. Scripture distribution is a proven, effective method for penetrating closed countries, reaching isolated communities, and planting the seed of the Gospel in hearts around the world.
Why Local Churches Should Be Involved
The Great Commission was given to the local church, and part of that commission is ensuring that the Gospel is published and distributed to all nations. When a local church gets involved in Scripture assembly and distribution, it unites the congregation around a tangible, global purpose. It allows every member—from children to senior adults—to have a direct, hands-on role in worldwide missions. This involvement not only sends the Word of God to the lost but also sparks a greater passion for evangelism within the church itself.
