A significant challenge exists in helping people understand the Bible. Many have access to scripture, but struggle to comprehend its meaning. This issue is widespread, affecting communities globally.

A statement signed by 38 African church leaders from six nations addressed a related concern, the spread of a false gospel. This phenomenon has infiltrated various congregations, including those with strong historic roots. Further information on this topic is available from Mission Network News, which reports on efforts to address the Bible literacy crisis, including the work of Mission 66 and Trans World Radio.
