Under my ministr(ies), an abiding missions emphasis has been the distribution of subsidised or free Bibles, in various languages. Where they were subsidised, we generally sold them at half of wholesale price, in the Church -- and there was constant demand -- we were repeatedly sold out. There was special demand for rarer languages, which were harder to obtain. As minister, I was authorised to give away single copies free. We gave away an evangelistic booklet with each Bible, too. OBSERVATION: However, we did need to wise up to people buying subsidised Bibles to re-sell them. It all began with an old man I visited. I asked him whether I could read something from the Bible. He said he didn't have one.
