Your Generosity is Empowering Indigenous Youth

and their families - with God's Word

Imagine a park in Far North Queensland – alive with the laughter and voices of Indigenous children. Now imagine those same children, eyes wide with wonder, sitting together beneath the sky, reading God’s Word – and understanding it for the very first time.

Because of generous friends, Bibles and biblical resources are being provided, placing the truth and hope of Jesus into the hands – and hearts – of the under-resourced Church in some of Australia’s most remote places.

Recently, an Indigenous ministry worker shared,

“There were all these kids and as soon as they saw me... they see Auntie coming, so they run up.”

She gathered about 20-30 Indigenous schoolchildren – some as young as Grade 6 – and shared the Good News with them.

Together, they opened the Plain English Version (PEV) Bibles, turning to John 3 and the story of new birth. Speaking about the impact of the children receiving the PEV Bible, she said:

“When they had a read of it, they could understand it straight away.”

The message resonated deeply – many children chose to give their lives to Jesus right then. One child, amazed by the stories of Holy Spirit power in Acts 2, asked,

“Auntie – can we receive that power? Is it more powerful than witchcraft?”

She prayed for them – and for the Holy Spirit to fill them – and their joy was unmistakable. But the impact didn’t end there. One by one, these young believers came asking for extra Bibles – “I wanna take two Bibles for my mum and dad!” – “Can I take one for my brother – so he can receive this power as well?”

When you support this work, you can help entire families be introduced to Jesus – with the Plain English Version Bibles making His message clear and accessible. Together, you can help light the way to transformation – for this generation, and the next.
