3,000,000th Chinese Fire Bible Presented

In response to an urgent request a few years ago to provide the Chinese Fire Bible for 3 million house church pastors in China, the Assemblies of God Bible Alliance and Light for the Lost partnered together to make it happen.

On Nov. 7, Assemblies of God Bible Alliance director Herb Griffin presented the 3 millionth Chinese Fire Bible, just off the press, to an Assemblies of God representative who works with house church leaders in China. He also presented a copy to Linda Stamps-Dissmore, widow of missionary Donald Stamps who authored the Pentecostal notes for the Fire Bible (originally Full Life Study Bible) prior to his death in 1991.

This historic presentation took place at the sixth annual Fire Bible Summit in Palm Springs, Calif., attended by many U.S. pastors, district leaders and lay people who faithfully supported this project.

To date the Fire Bible has been produced in 23 language editions, and 32 additional language editions are in development.
