MINISTRIES TO SEND 54,000 BIBLES TO PERSECUTED COLOMBIAN BELIEVERSA pair of Christian ministries have joined forces to bring hope and encouragement to thousands of Colombian believers who face persecution from FARC guerrillas. Bibles for the World (BFTW) is working in conjunction with Voice of the Martyrs to distribute 54,000 Bibles in the hill country of Colombia, says BFTW spokesman Eric Foley. “The guerrillas become very threatened anytime that anyone accepts Jesus Christ, because when they accept Christ they drop out of the guerrilla army and instead serve a different master. In order to make an example of people who have become Christians, they literally will go and slaughter Christians—either torturing them, or simply shooting them and killing them for making a profession of Jesus Christ.”Foley says time is crucial. “These are Christians whose lives are in danger from the moment they make a profession. And we want to get them Bibles as quickly as possible so that they can grow in Christ and share their faith with others.” Colombia is BFTW’s July project in its “Billion Bible Campaign.”From the news flow at Intercessors Network
