“Everyone is thankful for the opportunity to read the Bible more! Thanks be to God, thanks to the United Bible Societies (UBS), thanks to all who donated the Bibles, and thanks to the pastors of the provincial Christian Council (CC) & Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) for their care and concern!” – Leader of a church in Shaanxi province
Earlier this year, Shaanxi CC & TSPM, with the support of UBS, distributed Bibles to churches and the Shaanxi Bible School in Shaanxi province. A total of 4,500 Bibles were given to needy believers in 31 districts and counties across the province. We thank God for the privilege of distributing these Bibles which have touched the hearts of the believers. We pray that God’s Word will provide them with spiritual nourishment as they read His Word and grow in their faith.
With faces beaming with joy and their new Bibles in their hands, some of the believers from various Shaanxi churches share their thanksgiving messages. All praise and honour to our Almighty God!

67-year-old Deng Xiang shares: “I thank our God for allowing you to manifest His great love in this way, so that many elderly sisters, older brothers in our church, and friends who have come to church for the first time, have received the Bible and your care. Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude.”

Wangyi District Church is one of the many churches in Shaanxi province that received the free Bibles that were distributed by Shaanxi CC&TSPM with the support of UBS.


“We are deeply grateful and overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you for not forgetting us in the remote mountain churches, and our impoverished and disadvantaged brothers and sisters. The gift of these Bibles is not just material assistance but also spiritual support, providing encouragement in our faith journey.”



“Thank God! We are grateful to the brothers and sisters who donated the Bibles. Reading the Bible helps develop our spiritual lives. The Bible is rich in content and profound in meaning. Through understanding and studying the Bible, we realise how precious God's words are! It points out the direction and the value of life for us. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Through studying the Bible, we can learn how to love others, thereby building a more harmonious society, glorifying God and benefiting people.”
