02 Activities
What the charity does
Our aim is to introduce others to the Christian faith, through personal witnessing by members of the charity and through providing Bibles and New Testaments in many different areas of everyday life. Members operate in branches throughout the British Isles and also certain places in Eastern Europe. Funds are also used to provide Scriptures in other countries alongside local Christians.
