Have you ever wondered about how many people in the world don’t know what the Bible is? Have you ever met someone who’s never heard of Jesus? Our guest in this edition, Chay Harty, works for the UK's Bible Society. Chay’s working with the Bible Society to ensure people all over the world can find out more about God by reading His word for themselves. Chay passion for the Word of God is clear. He shares the many and varied ways the Bible Society has created for people to engage with Scripture; talks us through their impressive spread of Bibles for different learning styles and age groups; and highlights the many accessible and free resources they have to help local churches engage with the Word of God. Chay tells us about “Festive Fred” - and how this happy little chappy in storybook form - can give you what you need to serve your local community with a fabulous and fun Christmas event. There’s even a free 'Pop up Christmas' resource you can grab to ensure your Christmas season goes off without a hitch. If you dont get to listen in time for this Christmas, then there's lots of ideas for Christmas 2024 - start planning now! Join Sharon Tedford as she chats with Chay; and learn more about how you can support the work of Bible Society through a variety of ways.
