This project involves various partners purchasing a variety of local MP3/MP4/5 players and SD cards and loading them with the FCBH Chinese dramatized New Testament via master thumb drive that we provide to them. The devices will be distributed through discipleship base leaders and other networks inside of China (and, in select cases, in South Korea).

Due to increased government restrictions on religious services in recent times, more and more Chinese Christians have found themselves no longer able to attend church. Our distributions of Bible devices have brought help to Chinese Christians as it becomes increasingly more dangerous for them to gather together for Christian worship and fellowship. As one of our distribution partners commented, “The situation in China is more difficult than one might think. I think Christians are greatly suffering. I think Chinese missions are as important as North Korean missions.”

Many Chinese Christians in rural areas are keeping their faith, but just do not have a way to meet together and hear the word of God. This is why many of our distributions to Chinese Christians took the form of partners running into neighborhood Christians on the street and handing them Bible devices. These distributions have provided them and their familes a way to hear the word of God even despite the inability to gather together.

Below are some letters we have received from some the recipients of the Bible device distributions.

“China also has many children of God. But recently, Christianity in China has been in crisis. Churches are falling apart. Although there are many causes, I think it is time for the world to pray for the Chinese Church and Chinese believers. And I would be grateful if more of God’s word could be sent to our descendants. China is facing various difficulties behind the scenes. It is a time to rely on God in prayer.”

Underground Chinese Believer A

“Hello. Thank you so much for sending God’s word that the children can see and learn from. I think if more Bibles are sent, many Chinese children can know God and obtain salvation of their souls. Thank you to (those) who work hard for China and pray to God. Amen.”

Underground Chinese Believer B

“Hello from China. First of all, thank God for allowing me to see useful Bible (devices) and thank you all. China’s economy is in difficulty and (the situation of) people’s lives is (now) the worst in recent years. In such very difficult times, the only thing you can rely on is the Bible and the word of God. Please keep praying for China. Please remember Chinese Christians. Amen.”

• Pray for Chinese Christians – Government restrictions make it impossible for Christians to meet in the ways that they have become accustomed to meeting. Please pray for them to continue to find ways to meet and hear God’s word, such as by using Bible devices.
