In Kurdish communities in Central Asia, distributions of children’s Bibles were conducted by Portas Abertas partners, reaching both Christian families and households unfamiliar with the gospel.
In a specific case, the five-year-old daughter of a Kurdish couple was ill and required constant care. When the parents were away, the girl was cared for by an 11-year-old cousin, who began reading the Bible stories aloud from the children’s Bible received through Portas Abertas partners. Local reports indicate that the reading coincided with improvements in the child’s health. When the parents returned, they were curious about the book’s content after noting the health changes.
Today, the girl is well, and the parents have shown interest in continuing to read the children’s Bible to learn more about Jesus. The distribution of Scriptures remains a key support for the church in the region, where many Christians face opposition. Stories like this illustrate how access to Scripture can open doors for conversations about faith and bring families closer to the Christian faith.
