25,000 Children’s Bibles Project: Help us print 25,000 in multiple languages

During a trip to our CLC ministry in Chiang Mai, Thailand last year, I was struck by how few Bibles were available for children in the Thai language. I knew that we had to do something about this lack of materials for different age groups for our precious children. As I spoke to some colleagues, we realised that this was a problem in many countries.

Meet: Justin Chellappan, ELS National Director

The youngest of six, Justin was born into a pastoral family. His father, born Hindu, accepted Jesus as his Saviour after seeing the Lord move greatly in his family. Justin committed his life to the Lord at 14 years old, but because of the hardships he saw in the ministry, he decided to follow a different path.

Publishing In India

Through the publishing ministry, our teams can help shape and influence the reading culture in their respective countries. To this day, the Lord continues to use the printed page as a tool for evangelism, hope, equipping, and transformation.

The Bible Story Book for Starters

When my husband and I first encountered The Bible Storybook for Starters, published by Copenhagen Publishing House, at CBA (Rights and Licensing Fair) in 2018, we immediately felt that many children and their parents would love this book. I definitely wanted to read this story, in both English and Korean, to our own two young daughters.
