People around the world are craving God's Word and that's especially true even in Africa where pagan beliefs and practices have defined the continent for hundreds of years. Today's episode includes it all... fierce opposition to planting a church, mysterious deaths in a village where witchcraft is dominant, severe drought, and God at work in the midst of it all.

Malaysia is one the world's largest Muslim-majority countries, and there's many people living in bustling cities and remote villages who follow pagan beliefs and practices.

Sharing your Christian faith with others in India can get you thrown in jail. In the world's most populous country, the party in power has stated that there's no room for Christianity in its Hindu nation and has passed anti-conversion laws to discourage evangelism.

In spite of this opposition, believers in India are living out who they are in Jesus even when it means giving up rights, privileges and a comfortable life. Pastor Mahesh became a believer and was shunned by his family, forced into homelessness, and attacked, before his church was shut down by authorities. Bible League programs, such as Project Philip and Church Planter Training, are providing the tools for Christians to endure and share the hope of the Gospel.

Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Bobby (last name withheld for security purposes), for a firsthand look at Christian persecution in India. Subscribe and invite others to listen. Length: 20:05.

Conflict, suffering, and loss have defined the Middle East for thousands of years, as evidenced by the current Israel/Hamas conflict.

But God is at work in this region through His faithful followers and Bible League International.

Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Kareem (last name withheld for security reasons) for a captivating discussion on ministering in the Middle East. Subscribe and invite someone to listen with you. Length: 31:15.

Ten years ago, Bible League International (BLI) and Prison Fellowship International (PFI) joined together to minister around the US and the world to those in prison, their families and even those they've offended.

Andy Corley and Jos Snoep each serves as President and CEO of their respective organizations, PFI and BLI, and they recently sat down to recall the first ten years of this precious partnership. You'll be blessed as you hear Andy and Jos speak about their love and concern for the prison population, and as they share two profound memories from visits with inmates who benefited from our programs.

Bosco suffered a terrible tragedy as a child when his parents were murdered in a conflict within the country of Burundi, Africa. Throughout his teenage years, he lived with unforgiveness and rage, even wanting to take revenge on his family's killers, but God transformed Bosco's life and brought him peace after he heard the Gospel preached in a church he visited.

Today, Bosco leads Igniting Communities for Jesus (ICJ), a partner of Bible League International, that creates brighter tomorrows for the people of Burundi, often touted as the world's poorest country, and disciples them as new believers. ICJ has found favor among Burundi's government schools and the Muslim community. As a result, people are hungry for the Gospel and asking for more Bibles and study materials to share Christ with others.
