An Algerian Woman’s Long Wait for Truth

Despite all the difficulties Christians face in the countries like Algeria, they are experiencing a great revival!
But now they face two problems:

1. They lack the funds for transport, customs, and distribution.
2. The authorities are refusing to grant an import permit.
   

So now they need your help with two things: First, they need prayer, that the import permit will be granted as soon as possible. Second, they need donations, so the Bibles can be transported the moment permissions are received.

You might wonder, why are they asking for money for transport before they know if the authorities will say ‘yes’? This translation project has taken years and has faced countless obstacles. Yet God has kept his hand over the work. Now that the Bibles are finally printed, we believe he will also overcome this last hurdle. When the permit comes, the Bibles must be ready to be transported immediately and that’s only possible if the funds are already in place.

And it’s not just Christians who are acting in faith in Algeria others are too! Rezki a colleague in Algeria was visited by two women, veiled in traditional Islamic dress. One of them shared that she had recently seen a vision of a figure placing his hands on her head. She didn’t understand who it was. Later that night, she dreamed that the figure was Jesus. But she knew nothing about Christianity, and in the dream, she asked for a sign!

Not long after, she met two women on the road who were talking about Jesus—and they sent her to speak with Rezki. She told him that until recently, she had been a radical Muslim, but this encounter with Jesus changed her life completely.

These two women—and many more like them—are now waiting for a Bible in their own language.
