Oasis Friend,

Across the continent, Oasis is witnessing God move through partnerships, innovation, and cultural connection. From launching Bibles in supermarkets in Kinshasa to empowering youth pastors in Cameroon, we’re seeing lives transformed through access to God’s Word in relevant contexts. Leaders like Rev. Why Duvenhage in South Africa are customizing Bibles for law enforcement, while Bible study groups in Johannesburg are reaching their communities with hope. In Nairobi, our presence at the Sunday Marketplace is opening doors to reach thousands more. Together, we are amplifying the Gospel and building a generation rooted in truth. Thank you for praying, giving, and journeying with us.

Dr. Emmanuel Tangumonkem, National Youth Secretary for Full Gospel Mission Cameroon, shares how discovering La Bible d'étude: perspectives africaines or BEPA, the French edition of the Africa Study Bible, has transformed his ministry.

As a youth pastor and chaplain, Dr. Tangumonkem was deeply impacted by BEPA’s integration of African cultural perspectives—something he had long searched for. “This Bible is practical,” he says, “and helps me speak to people from their own stories.”

He emphasizes the need for Scripture study notes that resonate with local realities. He now advocates for wider access to culturally relevant Bibles, believing they can equip a new generation of pastors and community leaders across Africa.

Pastors and leaders from different regions of Cameroon, including Dr Emmanuel  Tangumokem, receiving BEPAs for discipleship, ministry work, and personal growth.

Cameroon has two language zones: the Anglophone and Francophone. Many Biblical resources are available in English but not in French. The BEPA is a precious resource. Dr Emmanuel believes he is the only one who has it in the North West where he preaches.

You can help make Dr Tangumonkem's vision of equipping leaders across Africa with Bibles a reality. Your gift today can put culturally resonant Bibles like BEPA and the Africa Study Bible into the hands of more leaders, empowering them to connect Scripture with the hearts of their communities. Donate now and be part of a vision transforming lives across Africa.

Rev Why Duvenhage, a South African pastor and former police chaplain, has dedicated his life to supporting law enforcement officers spiritually and emotionally. Why represents Africa on the board of the International Christian Police Fellowship.

His latest milestone? The launch of a customized New Living Translation (NLT) Police Bible for Africa—a long-awaited resource tailored to the unique challenges and realities officers face. “It really brings the Word of God closer to the hearts of the police,” Rev Why shares. So far, 1,500 copies are being distributed across South Africa and Eswatini, with growing demand from Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and beyond.

At a golf estate near Johannesburg, the Higher Ground Ladies Bible Study Group started with prayer, tea, and shortbread. But when locals began asking for Bibles, the group took action—partnering with Oasis to gift beautiful, easy-to-read New Living Translation (NLT) Text Bibles: Africa Edition to security guards, domestic staff, and young girls in need of hope and guidance.

“Having your own Bible is a beautiful thing,” says group member Beauty Malabie.

Now, they dream of reaching girls across their region with God’s Word—and they need your help. Join their growing ministry. Give the gift of God’s Word today.

The Africa Study Bible is now available in Kinshasa supermarkets!

In a creative twist on Bible distribution, Oasis Media Center, a partner of Oasis International,  has brought La Bible d'étude: perspectives africaines (Africa Study Bible French Edition) to the book sections of upscale supermarkets in Kinshasa—with plans to expand across all 27 districts.

Oasis is building strategic partnerships across the DRC to equip schools, churches, and communities with biblical resources. Pray with us that God will use these resources to open doors for discipleship, Bible distribution, and lasting spiritual impact.

We’re excited to share a new opportunity to bring God’s Word closer to hearts in Nairobi, Kenya! Oasis has begun showcasing and selling our titles at Nairobi Chapel—a vibrant non-denominational church serving over 3,500 congregants—through their Sunday Marketplace.

“Our partnership at Nairobi Chapel allows us to provide our catalogue through their marketplace,” shares Malele Ngalu, Oasis Regional Director for East Africa.

This new platform is not just about increasing visibility—it’s about igniting spiritual growth. Join us in praying that each book and Bible will open lives to truth, transformation, and hope.
