Audio Bible Imports Banned

Despite Benin having a significant Christian population of 30%, front-line workers were recently told they could not import audio Bibles into the country. “We have a shipment that had been repeatedly turned away by customs officials,” said a front-line worker about the devices that are very effective in a country with around 50% illiteracy. “We kept resubmitting the boxes for approval, and finally they told us that shipments of audio Bibles would no longer be allowed into the country.” The front-line worker said they are trying to find a way to appeal the decision and asked for prayer that this prohibition against God’s Word will be lifted.
