What is Project Philip?

We call our strategy "Project Philip", after the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Project Philip goes beyond providing Bibles and getting "decisions". Through Project Philip, people are invited by their friends to participate in a Bible study. By completing the studies, they can earn a New Testament and then a whole Bible.

Throughout the process, these people are studying God's Word side-by-side with local Christians. As they complete the lessons, their interest in the Bible increases, their relationship with the local church is strengthened, and many come to faith in Christ. The Bible they earn and the fellowship they join then feed their new faith.

The Bible study and discipleship process is essential. Faith that is not grounded in God's Word and nurtured by fellowship with other Christians is like a seed on rocky soil. It has no root, so it cannot last.
