What if every believer in your church gave away one Bible a month? Karen and Dan Benson of Joy Creative Bibles share how Plant 12 makes that simple.

On this episode of The Church Around the World, host Dan Ehrman visits Joy Creative in the Chicago area. Karen is the hand-lettering artist behind their designs, and Dan leads the business. Since 2018, they've shipped more than 300,000 laser-engraved Bibles around the world. Now, in partnership with Tyndale House Ministries, they've launched Plant 12, a monthly evangelism challenge built on five steps: Pray, Listen, Act, Nurture, and Testify.

Key takeaways:

• Evangelism doesn't have to be intimidating. Giving away a Bible each month gives ordinary believers a simple, prayerful way to share their faith.
• Beauty invites people in. A cover that speaks to someone personally can make a hesitant reader more likely to open God's Word.
• Business can serve the global church. The Bensons share how God provided through setbacks and how their work has put Bibles in homes from Greece to Mongolia.

You'll also hear moving stories of Scripture changing lives, including a letter from a woman God met through cancer and heartbreak.

"It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it." — Isaiah 55:11 (NLT)

For pastors and small group leaders seeking gospel-centered outreach, Plant 12 offers a practical way to help your church plant seeds in your community.
