Statistics indicate that there are fewer Bibles published and made available to the world's 1.2 billion Muslims than for any other major people group. In response to this need, two partners have banded together to sponsor and facilitate Bibles4Muslims.
Over the past few years, the ministries listed in this section have partnered in developing a distribution network in the Muslim world for the Word of God. Obviously because of security reasons and the sensitive nature of this information, the names of the countries and specific facts will not be given. Hundreds of believers at great risk have made this network a reality.
The purpose of these ministries is to work with believers and leaders in various nations across the 10/40 Window in this network and supply them with the Scriptures. Bibles4Muslims is a ministry that is dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission.
FirstBible International began in 2003 under the direction of Dr. Charles Keen. After 35 years of pastoring and leading First Baptist Church of Milford, Ohio to be one of the greatest missions churches of our generation, the Lord gave Keen a vision for the unreached people groups of the world. Today the ministry is engaged in partnering in the translation of the Bible into the languages of unreached peoples and giving them their "first Bible." Additionally, First Bible supports the printing and distribution of dozens of languages where the Gospel has yet to penetrate the darkness.
