Church Planters Need Bibles!
Many of our church planters do not have a Bible. While that may seem hard to believe, it is their reality. We recently discovered that, on average, 45 percent of our church planters do not own a Bible in the Village Church Planting or VCP regions where OMS serves.
The math works this way.
-
We have approximately 550 VCP centers.
-
Each training center has approximately 15 men or women church planter students. Each will plant his/her first church within the first year. That’s approximately 8,250 church planters.
-
If 45 percent do not have a Bible, the need is about 3,710 Bibles.
-
By God’s grace and his peoples’ provision, over the past few months we have purchased 415 Bibles.
-
The remaining need is about 3,300 Bibles.
