More than 100 Million Church Goers in South Africa Do Not Yet Have a Bible
Operation World informs us that there are 500 million people who identify as Christians in Africa. Over 100 Million
church-goers in Africa do not yet have a copy of a Bible, or even a New Testament. The needs are great, the opportunities
are huge and urgent. You can view Bibles for Africa and Literature4Africa videos online. “So, then faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Romans 10:17
Christian Liberty Books – 25 Years
To mark 25 years of providing resources for Reformation and Revival and textbooks for Home educators, we completed
a visual tour of our Christian Liberty Bookshop.
Launched in July 1995, Christian Liberty Books
(CLB) is a non-profit Christian ministry, dedicated
to fulfilling the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus
Christ by providing quality Bible-based resources
for Home Education, Missions, Evangelism,
Christian History, Creation Science, Reformation
and Revival. Our bookshop in Rondebosch stocks
over 6,000 titles of books, teaching manuals and
audio-visual resources. Most of our materials
are imported from trusted publishers overseas,
but we have also produced over 100 titles inhouse.
As a Missionary bookshop, CLB, from
the very beginning, has been deeply involved
in promoting Home Education in South Africa.
CLB has donated many thousands of our books to
Bible colleges, Missions, Ministries and churches
throughout Africa. CLB is fully involved in the
pro-life, pro-family movement, participating in
Life Chains, the March for Life, outreaches in
shopping malls and Boxes with Love to destitute
prisoners and pensioners in Zimbabwe. CLB is
also fully involved in the Biblical Worldview Summits and Reformation 500 Coalition on Revival movement. If you
visit the CLB Facebook page, you will see a visual tour of the bookshop and its treasure trove of resources to equip and
empower home educators, missionaries, evangelists and teachers. You can view the new CLB Interactive Catalogue
online. Most customers order online and make use of couriers. Visit www.ChristianLibertyBooks.co.za.

the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
