(China)–Meanwhile, reports indicate the number of Bibles printed in China is on the decline – a 20-percent decrease over the last three years. That’s the word from Open Doors, an organization ministering to the persecuted church. Open Doors plans to deliver two-point-two million Bibles to China. Officials say this is no time to cut production as there’s been an incredible increase in the number of converts in China. The Unite Bible Societies report that 40-percent of all Christians still don’t have their own Bibles.
