Austria - Bibles for African Refugees (Non Tax Deductible)
The need
Life can be bleak and stressful for refugees detained in Austria’s prisons and holding centres. Already traumatised by past experiences, they live in fear of possible deportation in overcrowded conditions with extremely limited resources. Bible Society is offering hope and new life to refugees by supplying them with Bibles and other Scriptures in 20 languages.
Making a difference
The Scriptures are received with joy wherever they’re distributed. When you have left behind every earthly possession, receiving your own copy of God’s Word is a precious gift indeed!
Every Bible has the potential to impact lives far beyond the person who receives it. If refugees are sent back to their home country they inevitably want to take their copy of the Bible with them – especially exciting when so many return to nations where access to God’s Word has been limited.
Your gift will help many more refugees find hope and comfort in God’s Word by supplying Scriptures in many different languages for distribution by the Austrian Bible Society and its partner International Teams.
Changed lives
Your provision allows refugees from countries all-but closed to the Gospel the opportunity to read the Bible for the first time!
“A growing number from Iran are asking for Bibles,” says Bible Society’s Jutta Henna. “Some are not yet believers, but rather ‘God-seekers’. They are looking for an alternative to the religion of their birth, and are eager to study the Bible.”
Others know all too well just how precious God’s Word is. “I met a family who had left Iran because of their faith in Jesus Christ: they had been sentenced to death! They showed me their Bible – a very old, scholarly translation,” says Jutta. “We prayed for this family and the following day I sent them new translation of the Farsi Bible. Their joy was so great they felt they had to share it with their fellow refugees, so we have already sent another to take its place!”
