CAR: hungry for the Bible

People long for the Bible in the most volatile and dangerous places.

In a country broken by civil war, where violence and kidnappings are widespread and where beyond the capital the country is lawless, people are turning to the Bible for answers. Families use scarce resources to travel to get a Bible. The place is in crisis – yet amid the chaos, people want Bibles.

Workers support a group of women who come together to read and learn from God’s word, using Bibles and study notes provided by Bible Society. The brave women arrive by bike or on foot, regardless of the insecurity and risk, and their passion to understand the Bible is deeply moving.
