Updated Bible Access List Reveals Restrictions, Opportunities
We've always known that people everywhere need God's Word. The Bible Access List (bibleleague.org/BAL) confirms that gut feeling and reveals the numbers of Christians around the world who are waiting for their very own Bible.
On today's podcast, host Michael Woolworth is joined by Jos Snoep, President and CEO of Bible League International, who shares why we joined with other Bible agencies to identify where the greatest restrictions and the greatest need for God's Word exist. If you're thinking that Bibles are available everywhere, or that smartphones are the answer to the shortage, today's program will tell us otherwise.

Poverty Meets Hope in Kenyan Slum
Brian is a thirteen-year-old living in the Kiamburi slum in central Kenya, Africa. Because of extreme poverty and malnutrition, he could easily pass as nine years old.
There's no father in Brian's life and his mother's poor choices, including substance abuse and abandoning her family for days, mean that he and his siblings are alone and hungry in a home where hope is in short supply.
But enter the hope of the Gospel and the work of Bible League International to introduce Brian to Jesus. Join host Michael Woolworth and his colleague, Jennifer Macharia, to hear a story that's undoubtedly filled with heartache, but one with Scripture-rooted change that impacts a life and brings lasting joy.

Growing Thriving Churches in Ghana
Every four hours somewhere in the world, Bible League International helps plant a new church by coming alongside pastors to provide resources to grow their churches to the glory of God.
That’s happening all over Africa, and especially in Ghana in the western part of this big continent. Often, pastors battle issues like syncretism, the blending of pagan beliefs and practices with Christianity, or are forced to be bi-vocational because their congregations aren’t able to support them full time.
And yet, host Michael Woolworth and his colleagues, Thobi Qinisile and Jason Lauthers, will share that the Church is growing and thriving in places like Ghana on today’s The Word in Action Podcast.
