FOUR and a half decades ago, 20 courageous believers carried out one of the most daring acts of faith in modern history. Under cover of darkness, a single barge quietly cut through Chinese waters — its cargo: 232 one-ton blocks of Bibles, each packed with 48 watertight boxes holding 90 Bibles apiece. One million Bibles total, bound for a church that had been waiting, praying, and suffering.
The mission was called Project Pearl.
By 1981, China's underground Christians had been stripped of everything — no church gatherings, no Bibles, no public expression of faith. Many were imprisoned. Many were tortured. Some were killed. And still, they believed.
So when that barge approached the shoreline in the dead of night, thousands of underground believers were already waiting. They didn't hesitate. They waded in — some jumping into the dark water — risking arrest, risking everything, just to get God's Word into their hands.
Project Pearl wasn't just a smuggling operation. It was the answer to years of desperate prayer.
Forty-five years later, we serve the same God who parted waters, protected His people, and moved through the darkness to deliver His Word. He is still doing miracles. He has not gone silent.
Let this anniversary stir your faith today. 🙏
