Audio Bible Imports Banned

[4] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Bible distribution.

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.

  • Oh God we pray that these audio Bibles will be allowed into the country for the edification of believers and the spreading of your word. Move in the hearts of the authorities to see that only good will come from allowing your word into the country.
    This we pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

  • Beloved Abba: Please soften the hearts of Beninese officials that they would reverse their decision & allow the importation of audio Bibles. Please allow the front line workers to creatively bypass official channels so that the Bibles may be smuggled into Benin. Destroy the power of Satan over this nation. We pray in the Blessed Name of Jesus Christ.
