Thank you for always remembering and praying for the works of New Life Ministries. We would like to share about the recently printed Bibles and the Bibles we are planning to print.
New Life Ministries has printed and sent out 25,000 Ukrainian New Testaments this year. They are already being distributed with relief supplies in the region.
In response to further requests from the Ukrainian Bible Society, it was decided to print another 110,000 Ukrainian Bibles, which will be sent out soon.
A total of eight different Bible designs have been produced, two different translations with four different covers each. These Bibles will be shipped from Japan in December. Please remember to pray for the continued production and safe delivery of these Bibles, for our mission partners in the field, and for the necessary funds to be met.
We plan to print more Ukrainian Bibles of various types next year.
We continue to seek support for this project.

Next year, projects for Arabic manga and manga for India, which had been on pause because of COVID, will also restart again, and we also plan to print a number of manga for the countries around the Caribbean and for Cambodia.
New manga projects for Japan are also in the works, and we expect to print a lot in 2023.
We will report more about the manga project later on.
We’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and support as we were able to print more Bibles this year than we ever imagined.
Due to the rising cost of fuel, the cost of electricity has nearly doubled. We are still short about 1 million yen for equipment repairs, and the situation continues to be unpredictable.
Please continue to remember us in your prayers so that we can continue our work.
New Life Ministries is a non-denominational Christian ministry committed to serving the Lord by printing and sending Bibles and Gospel literature to Japan and the rest of the world, in each people group’s heart language.
Beginning in 1954, under the name New Life League, the ministry reached out to children, provided Gospel literature, and did evangelism through radio broadcast.
Later on, the work shifted more to the collection and printing of Gospel literature as the main focus.
Throughout history, there has always been a call for the supply of Bibles, and New Life Ministries has continued to do all that it can to meet the demand. Our purpose is to see Japan changed for Jesus, and that the whole world be filled with His precious Word.
