A Bible to Start

An article highlights the ongoing relevance of Mary Jones in various contexts around the world. It emphasizes that many people still do not know the Bible, despite the increasing interest in faith and scripture. The organization aims to support new Bible readers by providing resources that simplify the reading experience. Their mission is to ensure that the Bible has a meaningful impact on people's lives.

Last year, the organization released De Bijbel voor beginners, which includes selections from the Old Testament and the complete New Testament, along with information and questions to guide new readers. During the New Wine Summer Conference, they launched a campaign called Share What Touches You, inviting people to nominate someone to receive a beginner's Bible.

There have been inspiring stories from individuals who have shown interest in faith through this initiative, demonstrating how Mary Jones' legacy continues to resonate in contemporary society. The organization is offering another 50 beginner's Bibles for free, specifically for readers who express interest through an online form. The first 50 submissions will receive a Bible sent directly to them.

The director encourages sharing motivations for requesting a Bible and highlights the program's intent to reach those eager to begin their journey with the scripture. This effort aligns with their goal of making the Bible accessible and meaningful for every individual, fostering a deeper connection to God and Jesus through scripture reading.
