Try doing missions ministries (spiritual ministries, not going to dig a well or to build a bungalow or to outfit a camp) without a Bible. From where do you get the gospel message?&#8211;the local newspaper? What will a new believer read in order to grow spiritually?&#8211;the Bible in a language different than his own?
