Goal: 8,000 Bibles this year  ·  14+ nations

42% of the world has never heard that Jesus loves them.

In thousands of villages, believers have fasted and prayed for years for a single Bible. $7 answers that prayer — and $500 builds an entire village its own offline Bible library.

The promise of one Bible

$7

A single native-language Bible, hand-delivered by runners who go two-by-two into rural villages. In many places, one Bible is read aloud and shared among 200–500 people.

When a believer receives their Bible, they promise three things:

  • 1Read their Bible every day for the rest of their life.
  • 2Obey Jesus' commands and the New Testament.
  • 3Share the Gospel with the people they love.

The VillageServer Initiative

A whole village's Bible library. No internet required.

Where a paper Bible reaches one set of hands, a VillageServer reaches a village. It's a solar-powered Raspberry Pi that creates its own local WiFi — so anyone nearby can open Scripture, audio Bibles, and video in their own language on the phone already in their pocket. Completely offline.

☀️

1 · Solar power

A folding solar suitcase keeps the whole kit running through the day — no grid, no generator.

🍓

2 · Raspberry Pi server

A palm-sized computer holds Bibles, audio, and video pre-loaded in local languages.

📶

3 · Local WiFi hotspot

A travel router broadcasts a private network that covers the gathering — no data plan needed.

📱

4 · Every phone connects

People join the hotspot and read, listen, and watch — then share phone-to-phone to neighbors.

Full kit cost: ~$483–$550  ·  You fund it at $500
