Dear Champion of the Bible,
The way God takes our simple offerings and multiplies them never ceases to amaze me. A single cup of water becomes a well that overflows, sending life-giving streams into dry places in ways we could never expect or imagine.
Your prayers and generosity are one of those offerings, and they are flowing into places that might surprise you.
In rural China, you helped two local Christian women make 3,000 Bibles available for only $2 each. Families who could never afford Scripture now have the Word of God in their homes—a stream flowing in a dry and thirsty land.
In South Africa, the Reach4Life Bible became available in Braille for the first time. What fits in one pocket as a printed book became three substantial Braille volumes, allowing blind teenagers to encounter the Gospel with their own fingers.
And in India, a shepherd named Subban received an audio Bible in Tamil. For 68 years, he visited temples searching for something he never found. Now he and his entire family gather daily to listen to God’s Word. The man who never knew joy says he’s never been as happy as he is today.
Stories like these remind us of why it’s so critical to make Scripture available to everyone in a way they can access and understand. Audio Bibles, apps, new translations, and innovative formats are reaching farther than ever before—breaking down barriers for millions who’ve been locked out by literacy, disability, or circumstance.
God is multiplying the faithful generosity of investors like you into streams of Living Water, bringing new life to dry places. Thank you for being part of this community as we work together to bring His Word to every person on earth.

Introducing the First Braille Reach4Life Bible:
Bringing Scripture to the Visually Impaired
As Biblica pursues its mission of reaching underserved populations with God’s Word, one often-overlooked group lives right in our communities: those who are visually impaired.
They’re our neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and family members, present in every society yet frequently left behind when it comes to accessing Scripture in formats they can use.
Thanks to our partnership with Phakhama Projects and Pioneer Printers in South Africa, the Reach4Life Bible, a Gospel resource that has already transformed over a million young lives, is now available in Braille and large print editions.
“The Things We Take for Granted”
For most of us, picking up a book and reading its pages is something we do without a second thought. But for millions of visually impaired people around the world, that simple act is impossible.
While the original Reach4Life Bible is compact enough to slip into a pocket or purse, a convenient size that has helped it reach young people in schools, communities, and churches across multiple countries, the Braille edition expands into three substantial volumes. The large print edition, designed for those with impaired vision who can still see text if it’s sufficiently enlarged, is also considerably bigger than the original.
These size differences illustrate a profound point about accessibility and inclusion. The convenience of a pocket-sized book, the ease of reading small print, the ability to quickly flip through pages and find a passage, are all privileges that many never consider. For someone who is blind or has severely impaired vision, access to Scripture has often meant relying on someone else to read aloud, listening to audio recordings, or simply going without.
“The things we take for granted,” our partner reflects, acknowledging how the simple act of independently reading God’s Word has been out of reach for so many visually impaired young people who desperately need its message of hope and transformation.
The Wait Is Over
The Gospel has become accessible in a whole new way. Three volumes instead of one, large print instead of pocket-sized, but every bit as powerful and transformational.
For the blind teenager in Johannesburg, the visually impaired student in Cape Town, and countless other young people across South Africa and beyond, God’s Word has arrived in a format made just for them.
The reality has been that while millions have had easy access to this Gospel resource, visually impaired youth have had to wait. That wait has now ended.

Two Women in China Made the Bible Available for the Cost of a Burger
In the midst of increased government persecution, two women came together to advocate for the Contemporary Chinese Bible.
With a shared passion for the Gospel, a successful retired woman partnered with another faithful woman to share God’s Word with those who couldn’t afford it.
Together, they have sponsored almost 3,000 copies to be distributed in rural and minority areas in China where access to Scripture is severely limited.
“God is good,” a local ministry director said.
“Because of their gift, we were able to distribute the Bibles for an average cost of about $2, when the actual cost should have been $5-7 per Bible!”
As another wave of persecution hits, the two dedicated local Christians are planning to seek local funding for the next round of Bibles.
“My slogan for this opportunity is that for the cost of a burger you can get someone a Bible and truly impact their life,” our contact said.
Praise God for these strong Christian women who are helping change people’s lives with the Gospel.
Your gift today can help deliver more Reach4Life Braille Bibles, put Scripture into the hands of some of the hardest to reach places in Asia and across the world, or help God’s Word come to life through audio Bibles.
“I Have Never Been This Happy in My Entire Life”
Subban, a 68-year-old shepherd in India, is illiterate. Unable to read or write in Tamil, his native language, because he never attended school, he says that he and his family have always lived in “ignorance, sadness, and hopelessness.”
Then one day, a pastor gave him the gift of an audio Bible in his own language. He patiently taught Subban how to use it. From that day forward, Subban’s life has never been the same. He was able to hear God’s Word for the first time in a way that he could understand.
Subban now listens to the Word of God daily with his entire family. Their home is filled with His presence, power, and peace.
“Before, I was a non-believer, but today I believe in Jesus fully,” Subban said. “I have never been this happy in my entire life.”
Through the Word of God, Subban has learned to face his problems with courage and live in freedom.
“Praise be to Jesus, and glory to God’s Word, which has set me free from all my bondages,” Subban said.
Packers, Purpose, and Passing It On
The Green Bay Packers football team is a publicly owned nonprofit corporation, the property of more than 500,000 shareholders who love the team and the Green Bay community.
Shares can’t be traded; they can only be passed between immediate family members, as a gift or through inheritance. The result? A football franchise that thrives in a small market and a legacy of loving tradition that’s handed off between generations.
As you draw up your own legacy game plan, there are some helpful takeaways from the Packers and their fans.
- Your legacy is as unique as you are. Like those who pass off their Packers shares, you also have a distinctive legacy for those who come after you, including the principles and purpose that have guided your life.
- Invest in what’s important to you. Consider your relationships, your faith, and the causes close to your heart like the work of Biblica.
- Legacy keeps on giving. Create a lasting legacy by including Biblica in your will, a gift that will impact lives for generations.
