The hunger for God's Word out in the remote communities never stops with high demands on Bibles as our pilots open up their Bible Boxes.

'When you come tomorrow, can you please bring Bibles?'
It was now the next day and I was armed with a freshly restocked Bible Box. After I landed in Yenkisa and the local MAF agent opened the back pod compartment to retrieve the chocks and tailstand, there was a murmur of excitement as people saw the Bible Box inside. As I opened it, a crowd quickly gathered.

'Audio Bible?'
'Forty kina,' I replied.

The agent fumbled in his pocket and handed me some money. As I gave him the little device another woman tried to rip it out of my hand.

'Wait, wait,' I said. It was the last one I had left.

Audio Bibles are the only way for people who can't read, to hear the word of God. And even for those who can read, poor eyesight can prevent them from doing so.
The elderly often ask for the bigger sized Buk Bibles rather than the pocket sized ones.

It’s exciting isn’t it? Together, we can send Bibles into the remote communities of Papua New Guineans – where people are thirsty for the Word of God!

You may be wondering how it all works in terms of cost. The pilots don’t give the Bibles away for free. This is important. It brings a value to the Bible and ensures that they are treasured.

But the fee is nominal, depending on the economy of the local community. It's about a quarter of the real costs thanks to donors from overseas.

I’m sure you’ll agree, that’s money well spent!
