The South Pacific Division (SPD) is calling for Bible donations to support the growing number of new believers in Papua New Guinea following the recent PNG for Christ campaign. The nationwide evangelistic campaign resulted in the largest number of baptisms in South Pacific history.

“There is an ongoing urgent need for more Bibles,” said SPD leader Dr. Nick Kross, who has been receiving constant requests for Bibles to be sent to various locations in PNG.

While new World Changer Bibles are being provided, a large number of new members still need access to Bibles.

Donations of new or second-hand Bibles are being sent to the SPD office in Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia. “If you or someone you know has any spare Bibles you would be willing to donate, please drop them off at the SPD office. These Bibles will go directly to the new believers in Papua New Guinea,” Kross said.
