God's Word for Africa Champions

You can be a God's Word for Africa Champion! Through the God’s Word for Africa program, you can equip leaders who will impact thousands.

Many of the projects, training programs, and Bible schools have less than 100 leaders per class, which means a cost of about $2,500 per project (varies according to distribution cost).

So, for less than the cost of most Africa missions trips, you can transform 100 leaders’ ministries who will then touch and lead thousands more.

Many men and women complete years of training and leave without the books needed to equip them fully for ministry. The Africa Study Bible is like a mini-library that will equip a pastor for years of leading the Church!

What greater value for investment in the Kingdom of God can we imagine?

Ryan Faber was one of Oasis’s first God’s Word for Africa Champions when the ASB was hot off the press. Ryan remembers,

“When I traveled to Kenya to do some short-term teaching, I wanted to connect our church family in North America with the pastors and church leaders I would be teaching. Members of my church donated funds for 104 Africa Study Bibles and each person wrote a personal message on a label which I put into the Bibles. Those messages connected them personally with the pastor receiving the study Bible. What a joy to facilitate these relationships for our church family with their brothers and sisters in Africa!”

Must you go on a mission trip to impact Africa personally? Not so, when you become a God's Word for Africa Champion. You can connect with pastors and leaders by equipping them with the only study Bible created to disciple the Church across Africa!

“I am greatly blessed reading a Bible in our own African context and we thank the vision development of this initiative that have greatly blessed poor pastors like me serving in Muslims dominated areas of Malawi. More Bible are needed here in Malawi.” –Bishop Ephraim Chiwaya, Gospel Ministries, Mangochi, Malawi.

“The African church needs affordable and culturally relevant books to help build a strong foundation for the growing church. The goals and plans established by Oasis will go a long way toward meeting these needs. I commend this program to our friends in the West as a way to help establish deeper roots for the African church and its leaders.” -Mark D. Taylor, Chairman/CEO, Tyndale House Publishers
