FirstBible International Launched to Give "First Bible" to the Unreached

Dr. Charles Keen announces the founding of First Bible International. This new ministry will focus on Scripture publishing and church planting among the unreached people groups of our world.

MANSFIELD, Ohio (PRWEB) January 23, 2004 --

Dr. Charles Keen announces the founding of First Bible International. This new ministry will focus on Scripture publishing and church planting among the unreached people groups of our world. Special emphasis will be given to the 10/40 Window, an area between the 10th and 40th parallels and from the west of Africa to Japan in the east, where as many as 97% of all unreached people reside.

The goal of the ministry is to provide the "first Bible" in the heart language of people groups and assist in the rapid multiplying of indigenous churches. A people group is a large number of individuals who have a close relationship and affinity for one another because of a common origin, such as tribe, race, ethnicity, as well as a common culture that would include language, religion, or occupation.

FirstBible is committed to reaching it's goal by establishing a Bible translation/printing hub on every continent under the authority of local churches.

Well on it's way, FirstBible has already established a printing press operation in Bangalore, India, for reaching millions of people who desperately need to hear, in their own language, that Christ died for them. This South Asia facility contains a state-of-the-art Web press housed in a 6300-square-foot printing center that churns out thousands of Scripture portions weekly.

FirstBible International is a 501c3 ministry under the authority of Westside Baptist Church of Mansfield, Ohio, Rev. Kenneth Fielder, pastor.
