An estimated 100 million copies are printed every year worldwide. The entire Bible has been translated into ~700 languages, more than any other book. Since the invention of the European printing press in 1454 by Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, at least 5 billion copies of the Bible have been printed.

    Let’s give Prayer for Israel a shout. Derek White faithfully produced this bulletin for years and brought Israel to the hearts and spirit of Christians. Christian Friends of Israel (CFI) continue to promote and support Israel. They produce a wide range of quality literature that brings Christians into a more messianic understanding.
