CP – The American Bible Society is multiplying its Bible giveaway offer after receiving 6,000 requests for a copy of the Good News from Kanye West fans. In response to West’s conversion along with his newfound passion to evangelize across the world through his Sunday Service concerts, the American Bible Society announced on Oct. 30 that it would send up to 1,000 free Bibles to anyone in the U.S. who’s curious about the Christian faith.
After making the announcement, the organization had to increase its offer because it received “over 6,000 requests from all across the world.” In an update shared with The Christian Post, the American Bible Society said they will continue to fulfill requests for free Bibles until Nov. 22.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled at this unexpected demand,” John Farquhar Plake, director of ministry intelligence at the American Bible Society, said in a statement. “When we saw Google searches for Kanye, Jesus, and Bible spike, we saw an opportunity — but we never could have dreamed that we’d get such an overwhelming response.” “Our hope is that these Bibles will allow Kanye fans to get to know the extraordinary person of Jesus, who inspires not just musicians, but millions of believers around the world,” he added.
