3 Letter from the President and CEO Robert T. Frank All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness II Timothy 3:16 NKJV Dear friends, The Bible League International Annual Report tells an amazing story of the power of God s Word across the world. We equip under-resourced local churches globally with Bibles, biblical resources, and training, as they share God s Word with men, women, and children longing for the hope of salvation in Jesus Christ. We equip, they serve, and lives are transformed. Our work with local churches around the world has been our unique mission since Bible League International began in We equip churches with the Word of God in a way they can read, understand and share it with their neighbors. Your prayerful and generous support enables Bible League International to fulfill this mission, and together we enjoy the success God promises for His Word. God s Word. Local Church. Global Strategy. God s Word is central in our unique ministry. We believe it is through the power of God s Word shared, read, and understood that lives are transformed through faith in Jesus Christ. This is clear in our work with local churches globally. In 2014, Bible League International provided more than 3.2 million Bibles and biblical resources to under-resourced churches around the world. God s Word changes both the course and quality of human lives. We provided more than 15 million Scripture resources this year ministry program training resources, digital downloads and licensee Scripture use. These materials help in evangelism, discipleship, and training by clearly explaining God s Word. This is how God s Word builds the local church, and this is Bible League International s global strategy. Global Strategy for Local Impact Our Project Philip evangelism and discipleship program is at the heart of Bible League International s work around the world. Project Philip is inspired by the story of Acts 8, where God places a disciple named Philip alongside an Ethiopian who is reading God s Word. Philip asks, Do you understand what you are reading? and the Ethiopian responds, How can I understand? I need someone to explain it to me. We help train people like Philip, who in turn help more and more people read and understand God s Word through Bible studies and personal interaction. In turn, those reached become part of local churches throughout the world. In 2014 over 90,000 Philips were trained, and over 2 million people were reached. Project Philip is a proven global strategy. God s Word Local Church Global Strategy 3

4 Letter from the President and CEO Robert T. Frank Project Philip is also important in our Church Planter Training program. Bible League International provides extensive training through experienced evangelists and church planters in their countries, along with the Bibles needed as new churches begin. These trained church planters understand their neighbors, language and culture, and they are able to lead others to faith in Jesus Christ. This program is crucial in our global strategy. Our Bible-based Literacy program adds important dimension to Project Philip. With approximately one in ten adults considered illiterate, this is a significant barrier to accessing God s Word, and discipleship in new faith. Bible League International has already trained over 1,900 literacy instructors, and over 6,800 people have learned to read and write using our Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Bible. Our Bible-based Literacy program gives local churches in difficult circumstances an important tool to bring the Gospel to people in need. The effectiveness of our strategy is measured by the transformation of lives through the Gospel. The blessing of God has been obvious in Serving local churches globally in 56 countries, Bible League International has trained more than 94,000 people who have reached over 2 million people, and planted 736 churches through Project Philip, Church Planter Training, and Bible-based Literacy worldwide. We are focused and faithful in our mission, ready to adapt in order to reach more for Jesus Christ, and eager to increase our service to the underresourced Church. And we believe God is leading Bible League International so we will be able to multiply our efforts to equip local churches with God s Word. Poised for Growth This is an exciting time in the ministry of Bible League International. We are more focused and effective in programs, and our global directors and ministry partners share a clear and unified vision for growth. With a refreshed and reinvigorated spirit, we are enjoying the creative spiritual vision of the churches we serve around the world. Through Project Philip, Church Planter Training, and Bible-based Literacy we are able to provide biblical resources in differing global circumstances. Standardizing Project Philip materials has opened up access to God s Word in these diverse local cultures. Focusing on the power of God s Word, we see promising new inroads in more and more churches. Serving the under-resourced Church globally through the provision of Bibles, biblical resources, and training to transform lives worldwide through God s Word. 4 Annual Report Fiscal Year 2014

5 Our translation work is integrated in our ministry programs. Because our ministry focuses on reaching those in need of God s Word, this drives our translation efforts. We are very pleased with our easy-to-read translations of the Bible, and working closely with ministry partners in the field we determine where new easy-to-read translations will be most effective. This focused approach improves our stewardship and ministry success. We are uniquely poised to continue our successful growth in 2015, and beyond. Reports from the field in Africa include plans to provide three times the amount of a new easy-to-read French translation among children. In the Middle East, our ministry partners plan to increase the number reached through Project Philip evangelistic Bible studies. In the coming year we plan on expanding our operations in Asia, and opening a new divisional office in Hong Kong. And worldwide, we project a 24% increase in the Bibles and New Testaments we provide in 2015 from over 1.4 million to almost 1.9 million. God has prepared Bible League International for an exciting year. We tell a confident story about the way God has blessed Bible League International, and with good reason. One of our four cornerstone Bible verses is Isaiah 55:11: In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do. (ERV) God promises His Word will succeed, and Bible League International is aligned with God s Word in a unique way. People s lives are being transformed every day as God s Word gets results. This is the ministry you are part of, and your generosity makes this an exciting time to be involved. We are so thankful for what God accomplished through Bible League International in And we are prepared to see many more lives changed through this ministry and our ministry partners in the year ahead. Your gifts and prayers make this possible, and we thank you. In Him, Robert T. Frank President & CEO God s Word Local Church Global Strategy 5

8 Ministry Programs So he went toward the chariot, and he heard the man reading from Isaiah the prophet. Philip asked him, Do you understand what you are reading? The man answered, How can I understand? I need someone to explain it to me? Then he invited Philip to climb in and sit with him.

In FY14, we served churches in 14 African countries. As we provided Bibles and training, we reached more than 305,000 people for Jesus Christ. Among those were more than 85,000 children. One church leader in Ghana reports, As they came to understand the Gospel, many children asked to be baptized. They continue to grow in the Lord. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, 2 out of every 3 of the more than 61,000 people we reached were children. We introduced Project Philip in grades 1-12 in Christian schools as we served God s people in the central African nation for the first time. Local churches across Asia reached more than 675,000 Asians with the Gospel, including more than 65,000 children, by engaging them in Project Philip Bible studies. God s Word brought hope to thousands of indigenous people in Malaysia, as well as the country s migrant and refugee communities. About 10,000 children in rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia learned about Jesus great love for them. Bible League-trained Christians in Albania engaged nearly 66,800 people in God s Word. About 2 out of every 3 Albanians are Muslim. Currently, we re reaching Albania s Muslim, Roma (Gypsy), and prison populations. Across Europe, we reached almost 459,000 people for Jesus Christ through Project Philip, an increase of more than 25% over FY13. Drug trafficking, substance abuse, and crimes continue to plague communities across Latin America. Church leaders like Mauro Mendez in Mexico use Project Philip to help restore lives. You are a great blessing! says Mauro. You help reach people enslaved to drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, vandalism, theft, and more. Thank you! Bible League International expanded its focus in the United States. We provided Project Philip and Church Planter Training to Hispanic, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Korean, African-American, and Haitian churches in the U.S. Local Christians in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela are using the Word of God we provide them to reach prison inmates in their countries. Thanks to our Project Philip Bible studies, more than 200 young men in one Argentine prison alone came to know Jesus as Savior. Thank God for open doors and more opportunities to bring His Word to the Middle East. Trained believers in the Middle East reached more than 44,000 people for Jesus Christ in 2014, engaging them in one-onone or small group Bible study. 8 Annual Report Fiscal Year 2014

9 Church Planter Training Armenia Bangladesh Colombia Dominican Republic Ecuador Haiti India Kenya Macedonia Mexico Nepal Nicaragua Peru Senegal U.S. People Reached... 64,820 Church Planters Trained... 1,101 Churches Planted FY14 Impact Bible League-trained church planters established 736 churches. Worldwide, more than 1,000 church planters completed our year-long program and learned the five steps to planting a church: Evangelism, Discipleship, Commitment/Membership, Leadership, and Worship & Service. Each used Project Philip Bible studies to build their new churches on the firm foundation of God s Word. Pray that these churches will be places where new Christ-followers will grow in faith. Out of 736 new churches, about 2 of every 3 were in Latin America. Bible League-trained church planters in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Mexico, and Peru established 491 new churches in Church leaders in Senegal tell us how important our church planter training program is for their efforts to touch people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Most people in Senegal follow Islam. Under-resourced churches in the Philippines are grateful for our Church Planter Training program. They are working among tribal and mountain people, in agricultural and remote areas. Church Planter Training in the U.S. provides training to churches passionate about planting new churches. We held trainings in California, Texas, and Colorado. Bible-based Literacy Armenia Bangladesh Cambodia Dominican Republic Democratic Republic of Congo Ethiopia Ghana Haiti India Malaysia Moldova Mozambique Nepal Peru Philippines Russia Rwanda Thailand Uganda U.S. Zambia Zimbabwe Students...6,897 Instructors Trained...1,936 FY14 Impact Bible League International engaged over 6,600 people in God s Word through Bible-based Literacy. We established Bible-based Literacy in Asia and Africa where more than 6,200 people completed the program, learning how to read and write while also learning about the Good News. Today, these graduates have their own easy-to-read Bible that they can read for themselves. English language Bible-based Literacy is taking hold in Armenia, offering another way to reach more people for Jesus Christ, especially young people. What interested me most about the English lessons was that we studied Bible passages and read from an English Bible each time. It was more than language training. It was an opportunity to hear the Word of God, says Pap, who s now involved in a local church. We praise God that we successfully implemented Bible-based Literacy in Malaysia bringing God s Word to the indigenous Semai people in West Malaysia, as well as among stateless immigrant children in Sabah, East Malaysia and helping many refugee children coming out of Myanmar acquire English language skills while learning the Word of God. Translations and First Printings Bible League s Easy-to-Read (ERV) Bible translations are written in everyday language that makes God s Word understandable to people who read at a basic level and for those who aren t familiar with the Bible.

Humbled. Grateful to God for His never-ending faithfulness. And thankful to all of you who provide Bibles and support this ministry with your gifts and prayers. I can t help but think of my grandparents today. It was back on April 15, 1938 Good Friday that they first went doorto-door in Walkerton, Indiana. They had a couple of simple questions for everyone they met. Do you have a Bible? And, if the answer was no, Will you promise to read this one if we give it to you. Since then, God has used Bible League International to take His Word to the nations. He s restored broken families. Freed prison inmates from the bondage of sin. Transformed jihadists into Christ-followers. Given hope to the hopeless. And more. My grandparents never could have imagined all the amazing ways God would work through Bible League and through you, too. We can t bring His Word to the world without your help. In this New Year, I look forward to the amazing things God will do through our partnership together. Thank you for your gifts and prayers.
