In many churches (especially in the rural areas) most people do not possess a Bible and have no means of obtaining one. In 2012 an FGEA partner Association was formed and registered in Malawi with Pastor Elwyn Maliwa as Co-ordinator; Pastor Maliwa lives in Balaka in southern Malawi, and he is the translator of the books published by FGEA in the Chichewa language. The work of the FGEA has extended to Dem Rep Congo, centred in the city of Lubumbashi, and to Bujumbura the capital of Burundi.

FGEA has also received generous grants of Bibles and books from various organisations for free distribution through the FGEA partner associations in Africa. The Gospel Standard Trust has provided over 2000 books; likewise the Trinitarian Bible Society, the Bible League and the Bible Spreading Union has provided generous assistance with grants of Bibles, books and booklets on Bible versions. The need however is vastly above what has been distributed so far. 

Other Literature

FGEA has published books for free distribution in local languages (Shona, Bemba and Chichewa) as well as in English, Portuguese and French in a number of countries in southern and central Africa. These books may be downloaded by following the link to the Christian Literature webpage.
