Why this matters

Many congregations have no Bibles among many believers. This drive helps place Scriptures into churches and hands that will read, teach, and disciple — week after week.

Where the Bibles go

Distributed to 500+ interdenominational congregations across Kilifi, Nairobi, and Meru, coordinated by St. Joseph House of Hope with local church leadership and accountability.
