China (MNN) – Throughout the month of July, violence and natural disasters have riddled Chinese news headlines.

Riots in the Xinjiang region left 192 dead as Muslim Uighurs protests became violent against Han Chinese.

Then, a devastating earthquake in southwest China claimed 300 lives and destroyed 10,000 homes, though the magnitude and destruction were not nearly as horrific as last summer’s earthquake near Chengdu.

While many in China reel from each event hitting their country, now more than ever they need the hope of Jesus Christ, and each event has set the stage for God to move in their lives.

Thus, World Bible Translation Center wants to distribute up to 100,000 easy-to-read Chinese Bibles in China this next year, and make the scriptures more available to China’s 150 million Christians.

With the help of a new partner, WBTC will move the Bibles into China through a series of smaller, legal shipments.

Among the Bibles, WTBC hopes to create a new printed version, using new Chinese characters. From there, they hope to deliver 25,000 copies of those Bibles to Hong Kong.

They also hope to develop a Chinese/English New Testament and also deliver 25,000 copies of these New Testaments to Hong Kong.

Finally, they hope to print and deliver 50,000 of their “Life of Jesus” books. These books are a collection of selected passages from the four Gospels. The passages have been re-written in story form for easier understanding and reading.

For WTBC to reach this goal, they need to raise $25,000. Go to www.wbtc.com/site/ PageServer to learn more.
