christ-centered resources and events Grants
ISM Inc. is blessed to offer $6,000 each year for Christ-Centered Resources Grants! Any ISM site may request up to $500 to purchase Bibles, other Christ-centered resources or to host a Christ-centered event for international students, scholars and their families.
Many international students who are curious about Christianity appreciate being given a Bible in their language or a bilingual Bible in which one column is their language and the other is English. The grant may also be used to purchase Bible studies, tracts, Gospel focused posters, Christian puzzles and story-telling aids for children, or other Christ-centered materials which assist in sharing the Gospel with internationals. The organizations below are excellent sources of materials:
You may also purchase materials from other vendors.
The website ScriptureEarth.org can help you learn what print and online versions of the Bible are available in any language of the world.
