What if the nearest Bible is an hour walk away - would you go to read it?

Day 2
Where's the nearest Bible that you can access to read right now? Your home? Your desk? Or even in your handbag?

In Australia, it's easy to get access to a Bible and we can read it whenever we want.

But in many places around the world, Bibles are rare. Many persecuted Christians have to travel long distances in order to read the Bible. So whenever they have the opportunity to read God's Word, they really value it.

I've read a testimony about a new believer named Zan who lives in a remote area in Northeast Asia. When Zan was presented with his own copy of the Bible after he completed the Project Philip Bible League Bible study, he held the Bible carefully and said, "Are you really giving me this valuable book? Is that right?" His face glowed with joy.


How important is the Bible for you? If the nearest Bible is an hour walk away and you would not have other access to a Bible - would you go to read it?
