Stopping Violence with the Word of God
In South Sudan, in order to stop violence, child abductions, and cattle raids, we must deliver the Word of God. As South Sudan is struggling to maintain their independence and stifle the violence in their country, we need Bibles to support our efforts to disciple and heal hearts of the South Sudanese people. Favor’s initiative is to expend resources to order and distribute stocks of Bibles, so that teams can go out to minister and supply Bibles in our many avenues (i.e. prison ministry, door-to-door evangelism, PBS’s, radio ministry).
We prioritize Bible distribution by ordering Bibles, storing them, and as well as hiring translation teams to provide Bibles in new languages. Just in PBS graduations, an average of approximately 5,000 graduates will receive a Bible. That means that an average of 5,000 Bibles are being supplied to just PBS graduates.
Because 95% of rural people in South Sudan and Uganda are illiterate, they make much use out of audio Bibles in their language-listening from prisons, cattle camps, rowing in a river fishing boat, farming in their fields, or sitting around their huts together. The audio format is extremely resourceful. As we grow our programs and resources, sometimes adult literacy programs aren’t just yet available to certain villages. But, thanks to the audio format, we can deliver the Bible to all peoples faster and more resourcefully.
Distributing Bibles
Favor distributes thousands of Bibles in printed and audio format in dozens of languages - through relationship - in every ministry we conduct. All PBS (Portable Bible School) graduates receive a Bible. The youth programs are diligently centered on a lifestyle of Bible study. We teach adult literacy in the villages, which gives us the opportunity to use the Bible as a primary resource for reading practice. Even through the two radio stations, we allow those who call in with a testimony of how the radio has impacted them are invited to the station to pick up a free Bible.
With the majority of the populations we minister to, the Word is the essential core of our foundations. People across South Sudan and Uganda, and beyond, know that Favor is known for the Word of God in action, and for Bibles. If one person can’t read, they find someone in the village who can and they have them read aloud every evening around the campfire, while the village families gather and listen. It’s a beautiful sight to see as God uses all avenues in Favor to deliver His Hope in His Word to all His people in Uganda and South Sudan.
