The need for God's Word in the Global South has never been greater.

Across Africa, Latin America, and South and Southeast Asia, the church is expanding at an

unprecedented pace, with nearly 7 out of 10 Christians worldwide living in the global south.

Yet countless believers have no Bible of their own.

And that's why Crossway is committed to distributing another 1 million ESB Bibles throughout the Global South.

This fall, we want to invite you to help provide Bibles to those in need.

A generous donor has agreed to match gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $400,000.

This means that with your gift of $35, combined with this partner's match, you can help provide $400,000. This means that with your gift of $35, combined with this partner's match,

you can help provide 20 people with a Bible. By the end of the year, we're hoping to raise enough funds

to support an initial distribution of 250,000 Bibles, and 100% of your donation will go directly

to that end.

Thanks. There's something particularly powerful about singing in community and encouraging one another by singing together and seeing each other and hearing each other.

There's a really beautiful fellowship there.

Singing is just a marker of human community.

It's something really unique and distinctive about people and particularly about multiple people

altogether. It binds people together in this really powerful way, even beyond the church.
