Africa

Africa teems with beauty and life found nowhere else on earth. Yet, the continent is torn by political unrest, poverty, malnutrition, and AIDS. Biblica responds by mobilizing resources to see hurting people find hope through the Bible. Discover God's heart by exploring Biblica's African ministries and how you might get involved.

It is said, "If you want to get close to God, get close to the things that break God's heart." God's heart is breaking every day for the continent of Africa.

AIDS Prevention through Bible Programs
The Reach for Life program connects youth at risk for HIV throughout this region devastated by AIDS with practical guidance through God's word.

Kids and Teens
Biblica's Children and Youth Ministries reach thousands of Kids through programs such as Children for Christ, Reach4Life, Teens for Christ Discipleship, Children at Risk and Bible Adventures.

Bible Translation
More than 2,100 languages are spoken in Africa. Biblica has completed 25 major Bible translations in Africa with the potential to reach 200 million people.

Scripture Outreach
Biblica provides the Bible in local African languages to new Christians, church leaders, children, and those who have yet to encounter Jesus Christ.

Leadership Training
Biblica equips African pastors to engage people with God's Word.

Bible & Church Engagement
The Church is growing rapidly in Africa. Pastors are often self-taught blending superstition and traditional religions. Biblica's Equipping Leaders program provides a solid grounding through basic biblical training for impoverished African church leaders.

Churches in Africa are excited about the opportunity to study God’s Word together through Community Bible Experience.

Prison Ministry
African prisons are severely overcrowded, dirty, brutal and lacking in adequate food and health care, they resemble death camps. Partnering with local churches and ministries, Biblica is reaching these people with the hope of the Bible. Biblica also reaches prisoners in Zimbabwe with Hope for Prisoners booklets.

Missions

Biblica is driven to reach this region with the Bible. From teenagers choosing abstinence through encountering God's Word in the Reach4Life program, to pastors trained to preach Scripture with authority, Biblica's work in Africa is transforming a continent.
