Over 50 yrs. ago IBL (India Bible Literature) came into existence, founded by Bill Scott with a mission to put the Bible in every home in India. Over 25 years ago it was determined that only 26% of the population could read. This need gave way to the formation of LIT (Literacy India Trust) which this year celebrates its 25th Silver Anniversary.
My primary reason for being in India is to be part of the LIT celebration. The history of LEI and LIT includes LEI’s work in 17 different languages creating Bible content primers (basic readers).
What God has done through our partnership with LIT over the 25 year period is nothing short of amazing…
- IBL has impacted 200 people groups in 18 States of India
- 820,467 illiterates have become Bible readers
- 60% of the learners came to believe in Jesus Christ and began to follow him
- 20,000 house churches have been formed
May God continue to richly bless our partnership!
