The Africa Study Bible is reaching people where they least expect it—while shopping for groceries! In an exciting development, the Oasis Media Centre, a partner of Oasis International,  has partnered with an upscale supermarket in Kinshasa, DRC, to offer the La Bible d'étude: perspectives africaines (or BEPA)–the French edition of the Africa Study Bible in its dedicated book section. Store management is thrilled to carry the Bible and has even invited Oasis to promote more titles in the future.

This creative distribution strategy is part of a larger goal: to make the BEPA available in all 27 districts of Kinshasa. With four locations already active, momentum is building rapidly.

 

 

Expanding South: Lubumbashi Next

Later this month, Pastor Leonard Kiswangi will take 40 BEPAs to Lubumbashi, extending reach into the southern DRC. This expansion is key to ensuring that this unique study Bible is accessible across all regions of the country.

Oasis is forging meaningful partnerships across the Democratic Republic of Congo with influential leaders and organizations committed to equipping students, churches, and communities with biblical resources. These relationships are opening doors in universities, high schools, and national ministries, providing strategic pathways to distribute Bibles, strengthen discipleship, and support spiritual growth.

Through God’s provision, Oasis is being welcomed into networks that are eager to share the hope of the Gospel, demonstrating a shared vision for transformation across the nation.
