People need spiritual fulfillment. There is a huge demand for what we do.
Li Chunnong, manager of Nanjing Amity Printing Company, in Nanjing, China, China’s only state-sanctioned Bible printer. Since it’s founding in 1988, the company (which is a joint venture between the United Bible Societies and a Chinese Christian charity) has printed more than 50,000,000 copies in 75 languages, which have been exported to more than 60 countries. It currently prints about 12,000,000 copies of the Word of God per year. Officially atheistic China could well become the world’s #1 printer of Bibles.
