“(In some places of the world), the church is a 1000 miles wide and half an inch deep.” J.I. PackerWhy Bible Engagement
The Challenge: In many places in the world, the church is expanding, yet is riddled with unbiblical thinking and behavior due to its lack of scriptural understanding and application. This lack of discipleship in the ways of God has resulted in broken families, divided churches struggling with sinful habits, and communities marked by vice and lost in hopelessness and pain.
Picking (the Bible) up, you need to remind yourself that you hold in your hands not only the most famous book in the world, but one that has extraordinary power to change lives, to change communities, to change the world. It’s done it before and it can do it again.

Our Vision is to see communities and people groups transformed by the Word of God through empowering church and community leaders who have limited access to Biblical training. Our mission is to partner with mission organizations (prioritizing Wycliffe Bible Translators) and indigenous churches to develop leaders through culturally relevant Bible training that teaches them to apply the Scriptures to every area of life and equips them to teach and influence others. 2 Tim 2:2
Our Impact: With more than 270 seminars conducted in 37 nations, participants share the effect the training had.
“This BELT project is transforming people’s hearts and minds, and has already started to transform aspects in society; and I believe it is going to transform the Congo.”
