The Crossway Podcast

In this episode, Amir talks about the intense persecution faced by Christians in India, the challenges of smuggling and distributing Bibles, and the various efforts to support and protect new converts and vulnerable children from exploitation.

Amir works directly with Crossway as a part of our ongoing One Million Bibles Initiative. Over the last two years, more than 875,000 Bibles have been funded through our One Million Bibles Initiative. By God’s grace, 656,000 Bibles have been distributed to ministry partners in 27 countries throughout the Global South, with the remaining 219,000 copies in the process of being distributed. Would you prayerfully consider a gift to help distribute God’s Word to those with little or no access? Every $40 you give delivers 10 copies of the Bible to Christians in need. The overall goal of the One Million Bibles Initiative is to distribute one million Bibles in the Global South. Our objective is to finish the funding for this initiative by December 31, 2024, to support the printing and distribution of the final 125,000 Bibles. A generous donor has agreed to match gifts dollar for dollar, up to $250,000. In partnering with us, your gift will have double the impact and help us surpass our overall goal to distribute one million Bibles.
