Bible Courses Distributed
You've heard that over 1.3 MILLION correspondece courses were distributed just last year. But perhaps you're wondering, "Where did all those Bible study courses go?"
ECS correspondence courses are distributed in over 100 languages in more than 110 countries across the globe. It's difficult to maintain precise records for all these languages and countries, but below are the most current records we have for the year 2008.
Taking God's Word to so many people requires financial supporters to cover printing and mailing expenses. Will you partner with ECS Ministries by providing a financial gift for the ministry? Be part of this dynamic ministry and together let's help bring "The Word to the World."
