TV-Bible School in North Africa

In recent weeks, a Word of Life Bible School has been launched in Cairo for Sudanese refugees. The initiative is carried out by a Russian organization that operates a school for Sudanese refugee children. As they sought ways to provide solid and high-quality Bible teaching for parents and friends, they came into contact with Word of Life Moscow, through which they learned about our TV Bible School. This program is now being implemented in cooperation.

The Bible School was recorded in Uppsala several years ago in both Arabic and Farsi and has been broadcast via satellite television across Iran and the entire Farsi-speaking region. Today, the Arabic version is streamed throughout North Africa.

The program is also distributed on hard drives, making it possible to establish local Bible schools. Word of Life’s Bible School is highly sought after, and this approach enables the training to reach areas that would otherwise have limited or no access to biblical education. It is also well suited for underground Bible schools in regions where open Christian ministry is restricted.

At present, 80 Sudanese students are participating in Word of Life’s Bible School in Arabic, where the teaching has been received with great joy and appreciation. In the near future, three additional schools will be launched, reaching another 140 students, most of whom are Sudanese refugees.

We rejoice to see the vision of equipping God’s people with His Word of faith reaching new nations and people groups, and we look forward to seeing these students raised up and sent out to serve the Lord in victory.

LOBC-Team: Healing and restoration in Bolivia

It was Wednesday morning when we arrived, exhausted after a dramatic 36-hour journey and running on barely two hours of sleep. A kind man from a local church picked us up and welcomed us into his home. As we sat together making small talk, he began to sing a Swedish worship song, sharing from his time as a missionary there. In that moment, the weight of the journey caught up with us, and we began to cry. Questions filled our minds: what was going to happen on this trip, could God really use us like this, and did we even have the strength to be there? He gently encouraged us to rest, and after a short nap we were picked up by the pastor and reunited with the rest of the team. After breakfast and several hours of sleep, we felt more alive—still tired, but ready. We were reminded that in our weakness, God is our strength.

It is time for Laos!

So wonderful to be back in Laos. I was here the first time 25 years ago, and ever since that visit, something in my heart has remained connected to this beautiful nation. I have always wanted to come back—and now, finally, I am here again. Walking these streets, meeting the people, and sensing God’s presence so strongly reminds me that His timing is always perfect.
