Bibles to AFRICA!

WEO has teamed up with "Bearing Precious Seed" a Bible printing ministry of First Baptist Church in Milford, OH to distribute Bibles to West Africa.

The Story Behind the Bibles...

In October 2022, WEO visited the BPS Print Facility in Milford, Ohio to get a tour and discuss the possibility of getting Bibles to distribute to AFRICA.

To our surprise, Al Braley (Production Director) offered to send 30,000 pieces of scripture (New Testaments, John and Romans booklets, and whole Bibles)!!! Needless to say, we were absolutely speechless.

As time went on the 30,000 Bibles grew to over 110,000 pieces of scripture with country flags printed on the covers and some Bibles printed in French.

In April 2023, the Bibles were loaded into a 20 foot shipping container and sent off to Freetown, Sierra Leone where they will be offloaded and stored initially in a warehouse, and eventually distributed to the countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria and Ivory Coast.

We praise the good Lord and the generous and hard working folks at BPS for such a HUGE blessing. Thank you BPS for helping bring the gospel to Africa!

Stay with us for updates on the delivery and distribution of the Bibles!!!
