Bible Translation
Currently, we purchase Swahili Bibles from the Tanzania Bible Society, and they raise their price almost every six months. Most people can not afford to buy a Bible. We are thankful that we have mission partners who have donated many funds to help us get Bibles to thousands of people, but the demand is greater than our supply. We’ve asked permission to print the current translations and to pay royalties but have been denied. Our only option to get Bibles in mass production at the best prices is translating it ourselves. This is an opportunity to have an excellent translation in modern Swahili to make it easy to read and understandable. It brings tears to many people’s eyes when they see how happy people are to receive their own Bibles. When they receive a Bible, they can deepen their walk with God and share their love of Jesus with others.
Staff Housing
Staff Housing Need $15,000 per staff house
Support Those Who Serve
As Kibidula’s ministries grow, so does the need for dedicated staff—teachers, Bible workers, press operators, health coaches, and support personnel. Many of these missionaries come from distant areas to serve full-time and sacrificially. But to continue expanding our impact, we must provide adequate housing for these faithful workers.
Currently, we face a shortage of suitable staff housing, limiting our ability to accommodate new workers and placing strain on those already here.
Your Support Will:
– Provide simple, functional homes for missionaries and their families
– Enable us to recruit and retain committed staff for long-term ministry
– Ensure our workers have a stable place to rest, study, and serve from
– When we care for those who serve, their ability to bless others multiplies.
– Help us build homes for those building God’s kingdom.

Bibles, Bible Studies, Books and Tracts
We already gave out more than 1,500 Swahili Bibles in 2023 because of mission partners’ donations. Eight hundred Bibles went to newly baptized people who made their stand to follow Jesus in just one set of efforts in May. These Bibles are being used in the prison ministry work, schools, outreach, etc. Many prisoners accepted Jesus as their savior after studying with prison ministry workers who were helped with Bibles, tracts, studies, and books from Kibidula. We are helping prison ministries in at least five different prisons currently. These prison ministry workers are reaching out to people with very little hope, but they are finding hope in Christ. One lady who was in prison in Mbeya after accepting Jesus was released and returned to her home country, where she is now working in prison ministry, bringing many others to Jesus! People of all backgrounds crowd to us to get Bibles and books. Even non-Christian religions are asking for Bibles and spiritual books. The demand for training literature and health literature is high. Bibles are $9 each, Bible studies $1 for two sets, 100 tracts for $1.00 (Yes – 1 cent to reach one person!), and Books from 50 cents and up.
