Around the world, illiteracy rates remain high especially among women and people living in extreme poverty. Many who have been denied access to education cannot even read a recipe or government form and are often overlooked for jobs and opportunities.

But Bible League International’s Bible-based Literacy not only teaches students to read and write in English or their native language but introduces them to the Gospel as they engage in God’s Word through reading assignments.

On today’s The Word in Action Podcast, host Michael Woolworth, is joined by MariAnne Dibbley, Director of Bible-based Literacy, and Bobby and Romi (last names withheld for security purposes), both communications specialists in the region of Asia, to share how this program is bringing hope to people all over the globe.
