Uganda Bible Project Blog

Uganda Bible Project is dedicated to giving Bibles to all in Uganda who yearn to read and study God’s Word, but lack access or the means to get a Bible. God’s Word in the hands of the people is a simple, yet powerful tool that is bringing transformation to individuals, families, and communities. UBP distributes Bibles through established, ongoing partnerships with local ministries and churches in Uganda who demonstrate a commitment to outreach and discipleship. Just $6 buys a Bible for someone in Uganda with 100% of all donations going directly to the purchase of Bibles.

84.

Yesterday was a day I have been eagerly anticipating for a long time. After countless times sharing the need for Bibles and telling stories of the people who have inspired this project, we were finally on our way to buy Bibles.

Kennedy and I drove to the the Uganda office for Biblica (formerly International Bible Society) to meet our contact Christopher for the first of hopefully many trips to buy Bibles. Kennedy contacted Christopher a few weeks ago to let them know we would need a large quantity of Bibles. However, I don’t think they quite understood how serious we were. We were prepared to buy over 300 Bibles but had to settle for 84. Their entire stock in the styles we needed. These 84 will be plenty to get us started, and another shipment arrives from Kenya tomorrow.

Already, university students have heard the news and have begun coming to Kennedy’s office seeking Bibles.

Fredrick and Justin, both new believers, receive their first Bible from Kennedy before heading to an evening Bible study.
