Jacob Joji of Jacob Children says,” The Bibles you sent to us went a long way to put a great smile on the faces of many people in some villages here in Nigeria.” These Bibles you gifted have impacted those in the mission field. They were so happy that the Bibles made so much difference to the new-converts and the missionaries taking them through the Bible classes as well.

Yeshua Passion Commission is a non-denominational Christian group in Ghana that organizes missions mostly in the rural areas. They equip rural pastors through seminary-like training as well as conduct revival programs. As part of its partnership with Oasis, pastors in Nsawam Township, Ghana received 50 Africa Study Bibles distributed by the Yeshua Passion Commission – YPC.

The pastors there turned out in significant numbers to receive their copies of the Africa Study Bible. This was their first exposure to this valuable resource, which they believe will greatly aid them in preaching to their local congregations. What an impactful testimony!

“It was a big miracle for Light And Life Mission family in Cameroon who received bibles 20 study Bibles and 60 small Bibles from our partner, Oasis International Ltd. Because of the war which has taken place in the two English-speaking regions of Cameroon, many people lost all their properties so this a big blessing to them to have Bibles. Thanks so much and God bless you all.”

–Rev Sone Charles, Light and Life Missions, Cameroon
