Local ministry Give the Word is asking for help to purchase 30,000 Bibles.

Currently, the organization is $6,775.00 shy of reaching their year-end goal of restocking its warehouse with Bibles for the first part of the new year.

"You guys are amazing!" says Ryan Rempel, director and founder of Give the Word.

Every five dollars donated allows the ministry to purchase and give away one Bible to someone who needs one.

"Every story you read on our page is because someone has supported Give The Word which allows us to be able to give the Bible for FREE," Rempel says in an online post.

In his post, Rempel asks for people to consider providing Give the Word with a donation to help them reach their goal for the end of 2019.

Rempel thanks all who have supported Give the Word and its mission to equip, evangelize, encourage, and engage.

"Huge thanks to all those are have supported in the past and even those who have chosen to support other/different causes. There are so many great places to give and we are just one out thousands to give to. However, you have chosen to give and to whoever you have given to...Thank you!"

Christian ministries based in Winnipeg and Manitoba that regularly receive donations of Bibles from Give the Word include Union Gospel Mission, Charis Centre, Crisis Pregnancy Centres, Siloam Mission, Teen Challenge, and Youth For Christ.

The organization has also sent thousands of Bibles around the world.
