Audio, Print Bibles Help Displaced Christians

A pastor’s distribution of Bibles is encouraging displaced Christians. In northern Togo, radical Muslims have attacked villages and churches and killed Christians, displacing thousands. Kodjo, a local pastor, said his church is currently serving 200 of those displaced Christians. He often hears gunfire near his house and has witnessed Muslim militants kill people. One member of Kodjo’s church was shot in the arm while running away from Islamic terrorists who had dragged a man out of his home and killed him. His regional leader advised him to leave the area. “But he refused, as this is where God has called him to work,” a front-line worker said. Pastor Kodjo regularly distributes Bibles to bring hope to the community. “So many people were so excited to receive a Bible, especially the audio Bibles,” the front-line worker said. “These Bibles have been such an encouragement to the believers.”
