Colombia (MNN) — Colombia is a largely Christian nation, but only 10% of the population is Evangelical. For this small Evangelical Church, tools like Scripture booklets from World Missionary Press are helpful for teaching, training, and sharing the Gospel.
Helen Williams with World Missionary Press says, in the last few months, “We’ve sent over 2.7 million booklets into Colombia through two or three different major distributors.”

A group of 300 pastors in Colombia receive and distribute these Scripture booklets in their communities.
“They’ll have parades, they’ll have outings, they’ll have food distributions, or they’ll have something like that and the booklets will go along,” says Williams.
The Colombian pastors even take these Scripture booklets across the borders into Venezuela and Brazil. “They had one pastor who’s from a small ethnic tribe, the population was somewhere [around] 25,000.
“This pastor sent a message. He’s holding the booklets in his hand and he’s thanking us for them. He speaks Spanish, of course, but he also speaks the language of his people, and so he can take the message to them through these booklets and preach to them.”
World Missionary Press is always fielding more requests for Scripture booklets as people are desperate for God’s Word! You can support this ministry here.
Also, Williams says, “I would ask people that they would pray for each of those booklets, that it would go to someone with a heart prepared to receive it.”
