Welcome to our first newsletter this year! This month, we're looking back and celebrating the School Bible Program, highlighting a new initiative to support mission trips, and sharing stories of transformed lives thanks to your support!

Our 2024 Impact Report highlights the urgent need for Bibles among Africa's 250 million literate believers. Through the Ignite Project, we distributed Bibles in Nigeria's Jigawa, Kebbi, Katsina, and Kano States, reaching thousands of young people from Muslim homes with the Gospel message.

After receiving her first Bible, a 17-year-old girl said, "I was once too afraid to ask questions about God and the Christian faith, but now I share my joy about Jesus with my friends."

Through our local partner network, together we trained over 10,000 pastors and have successfully distributed a cumulative total of 100,000 School Bibles. The report showcases bringing La Bible d’étude: Perspectives Africaines, the French edition of the Africa Study Bible, into Gabon and Guinea, which were firsts for us.

Jacob Lee, Reaching Africa’s Unreached co-founder, is thrilled to announce the arrival of the first 6,100 copies of Africa Study Bibles in Northern Uganda! We are incredibly grateful to our generous donors for raising $50,000, which was matched by ChristianBook International Outreach. This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission.

At the end of last year, the Men's Book Breakfast (MBB) in Nairobi, Kenya, contributed 492 books to the Prison Book Drive organized by Oasis, led by Malele Ngalu, Partnership Director for East Africa.

Together with Good News Global, Nairobi Chapel, and Clean Start Africa, MBB distributed a total of 5,210 books to three prisons, fostering hope and transformation.

Your generous support has empowered many with God’s wisdom and truth. Thank you for standing with us in this important mission!

LightWk Ministry in Nigeria

We're so grateful for your recent generosity in providing Bibles to thousands of children! Thanks to your incredible support, by the end of 2024, over 100,000 kids were proud owners of their very first Bibles. This wouldn't have been possible without you!

Our amazing partners, like Sight of God Ministries in Ghana and Focus Kenya, have been actively distributing these Africa Edition Bibles to children in schools and Bible clubs, where they can be used for study and spiritual growth.

 Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey!

Joackim Kunda of Teen Missions South Africa shared his inspiring story with Oasis:

“I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of God's Word in the lives of young people in South Africa. Many have been engaged in drug use and criminal activities. Still, I have witnessed how access to the Bible and compassionate guidance has given them the discipline and resilience to overcome these obstacles. Oasis provided Bibles for one of our most exciting initiatives, The Lord’s Boot Camp, an energetic youth camp that Teen Missions conducts each December."

We're excited about a new initiative that will help U.S. churches, teachers, college groups, and service teams who are organizing or participating in mission trips to Africa.

Bibles for Mission Trips helps these groups focus entirely on planning their mission trips while we ensure you have all the Bibles you need, either waiting for you at your project in Africa or delivered in the U.S.

It's never too late to start a daily Bible-reading habit. This is a plan to give you an overview of the whole Bible in one year by reading the length of a chapter six days a week.
