Today, we have a special episode highlighting the state of the Christian church and Ken Mbugua's work in equipping pastors and churches across the continent.

Kenneth Mbugua is the senior pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nairobi, Kenya and is a Council member of The Gospel Coalition Africa. He is the Managing Director of Ekklesia Africa which promotes biblical resources for building healthy churches.

Every $3.50 given provides someone in need with their own copy of God’s Word. Would you prayerfully consider joining us in this effort to provide the Word of God to those in need in the Global South? A generous donor has agreed to match gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $400,000 (228,572 Bibles). And 100% of your gift will go directly toward Bible distribution. Your gift will help us reach our goal of raising enough funds by December 31, 2025, to support the initial distribution of 250,000 Bibles.
