This lady carries her new Chitonga Bible proudly. Few people in rural areas of Zambia can afford to buy Bibles, so the books are a highly valued item. Every year Christians in Abilene organize a drive to purchase thousands of Bibles in the Chitonga language. The Bibles are distributed free of charge to church leaders, new Christians, congregations, and other individuals. It's easy for us to take our Bibles for granted since most of us have a collection to choose from. Watching the Zambians receive their Bibles with such joy humbled me and reminded me that God's word is very precious indeed.
