The goal of this project is to provide Scriptures to individuals and especially churches who aim to bring the comforting and encouraging message of God’s love to Ukrainian people amidst a time of war. The project will focus the Bible distribution on four main areas: frontline areas, recently freed territories, occupied territories and the rest of the country where displaced people and those affected with the war live. This project aims to reach various audiences — children, youth, adults and elderly people — all who feel fear and uncertainty at this time and are looking for hope.

From January to March 2023, planning for the project will take place, as they prepare the Scriptures for distribution and plan production and delivery early in the year. From January to November, Bible distribution and project visits will take place. An evaluation and reporting of the project is planned by the end of the year.

This project aims to distribute around 150,500 Bibles for various audiences would be distributed which includes 39,500 regular Bibles, 11,000 youth Bibles, 52,000 New Testament and 48,000 children’s Bibles.

So far, in 2022, the estimated number of people impacted by this project is at 119,000. Bible Society Ukraine expect that at least two people will be impacted by every copy of Scripture distributed, as they are shared with family, friends and neighbours. The total number of people this project aims to impact for 2023 is 301,000.

Through this project, Bible Society Ukraine hopes to continue supporting Ukrainian individuals and churches in an attempt to bring message of hope, peace and encouragement to people living in Ukraine. This is a unique opportunity as people are in desperate need in certainty and firm ground —something God, through his word, freely offers.
