As a nonprofit, every year the Chara Project hosts a ministry update to go behind the scenes and take a heartfelt look at how God has been at work through our growing community. Instead of a live virtual event, this year’s update comes in podcast form, packed with reflections on what God has done and where He’s leading next.

Over the past six years, The Chara Project has continued to empower people to study the Bible with confidence—on their own and with their neighbors. In this episode, you’ll hear how that mission is thriving: from a brand-new website, new podcast episodes and online resources, to expanded partnerships with churches and schools using the CHARA Bible Study Guide as a teaching resource.

Heather and Sarah also share exciting plans for 2026—including a mobile app and what new guide is coming next. You’ll also hear encouraging stories of impact from the community and learn how you can help sustain this ministry through prayer, partnership, and giving.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the Chara Project, this episode will inspire you with what God is doing through this community—and invite you to join in helping people everywhere, not just read the Bible, but understand and share it.

This podcast is also released as a video podcast on YouTube here.

The Chara Project is a nonprofit organization with a mission to help build confidence in studying the Bible on your own and with your neighbor. Chara is the Greek word for JOY, and the Chara team offers resources and teaching to empower people to find joy as they explore the Bible, grow in their Biblical understanding, and help others do the same.
