What is Project Philip?

Project Philip- unleashing the power of one!

"Do you understand what you are reading?? Philip asked.

"How can I" [The Ethiopian] said, "unless someone explains it to me? "

Acts 8:30-31
Unlike traditional approaches, the Bible League does not randomly distribute Bibles. Instead, we work with churches around the world to employ Project Philip?a proven model of ministry that has reaped results worldwide. Its model is based on the example in Acts 8, when Philip asked the traveling Ethiopian if he understood the Scripture he was reading. The Ethiopian admitted he could not understand unless someone explained it to him. So Philip climbed into the chariot, sat with the Ethiopian and helped him understand.

One Philip can touch hundreds of people
Following his example, the Bible League trains ?Philips? around the world to lead Bible studies, thereby helping people understand God?s Word. As group members complete the Bible study course, they ?earn? their own Bible?a precious treasure, since Bibles are so scarce. Many Bible study graduates accept Jesus and are baptized into church membership. Then they often become Philips too?igniting a chain reaction of leading people to Christ and the Church, through sharing His Word. You can see how one Philip has the potential to reach hundreds of people!

We partner with local churches
The Bible League provides training and materials to churches worldwide to begin Project Philip. Churches use this literature to equip their own Philips for evangelism and discipleship. In order to receive more materials, churches demonstrate that they are being used effectively. The Bible League?s international office staff then follows up to measure results. That?s how we can confidently state?
