Texas Ministry Given Government Approval to Donate Bibles to Children In North Macedonia
A Texas-based Christian ministry recently delivered its largest donation of Bibles to North Macedonia, where many lack access to the Word of God in their language.
North Macedonia’s government allowed the Eastern European Missions (EEM) to donate over 225,000 children’s Bibles in the region in July after hearing about the organization’s previous work, including the delivery of 650,000 Bibles to public schools in Croatia last year.
“God’s word is a seed that we’ve been planting, and we team and come together with a number of different organizations to help us do that,” EEM President Bob Burckle told The Christian Post in an interview. “We go to major Bible translators like Bible League and then different Bible societies to get their translations. And then they take, and they format the books, put them into the printed word, and then we print, publish and distribute.”
Burckle noted that churches and individuals are responsible for most of the group’s funding, adding that at least 1,082 U.S churches are currently supporting EEM’s mission.
After EEM delivered the Bibles, North Macedonia’s Department of Religious Relations distributed the books to churches and individuals. Burckle and EEM’s Vice President of European Operations, Bart Rybinski, also attended a ceremony celebrating the donation and sharing copies of the Bible with schoolchildren.
