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).

In 2022 when this project commenced, we were largely unable to distribute MP3s inside of China due to severe travel restrictions related to COVID-19—not only for foreigners visiting China but even for Chinese citizens themselves to be able to travel domestically. We decided to focus our efforts on developing future distribution routes in China while attending to crucial immediate distribution opportunities to under-served Chinese populations in South Korea.

By the end of 2022, we were able to shift our distributions inside of China. Our partner explained, “The situation in China is more difficult than one might think. Christians are greatly suffering. Chinese missions are as important as North Korean missions.” So now, nearly all of of our distributions are taking place inside of China, to isolated Chinese men, women and children (both Christian and non-Christian) who don’t have access to God’s word.

We received testimonies from individual Chinese believers who had received Bible devices. A sample of these follows:

The current situation of Chinese churches and believers is very difficult. There are many people who are facing death and suffering financially. The bigger problem is that the church has been closed for a long time due to the epidemic. The precious Chinese Bible gives me hope. Pray for China. – Believer A

Thank you to those who pray for our China. The church in China is currently in a very difficult situation. Chinese Christians are falling apart and even Bibles are hard to come by. Thank you for sending us your precious Chinese Bibles. Amen – Believer W

The words of the Chinese Bible are very precious and we need them very much. Because of the epidemic, I can’t even go to church, so I cannot deliver the word of God to the children. Please pray for the Chinese church and believers, for the children of God. Amen. – Believer C

• Pray for Orphans in China – As the Chinese government cuts fundings to orphanages, many orphans in China face even more hardships. Please pray that they are able to access Bible devices, come close to God through His word, and rely on Him as their Father.
• Pray for Distribution of Bible devices to individual Chinese-speaking Christians – Pray for Chinese Christians who have been cut off from their churches to receive Bible devices through our partners and to regain access to the word of God.
