- You Are Invited
Please journey with Biblica to the beautiful island of Zanzibar to witness the power of God’s Word in action.

This ministry opportunity includes visits to vulnerable areas, meetings with our determined church planting partners, and fellowship with believers in the beauty of Zanzibar.
- Trip Purpose
You will gain a full understanding of Bible ministry in Zanzibar while encouraging local church leaders working in challenging conditions. The goal of the trip is to highlight the urgency of Gospel mission and to raise generous support for critical Bible projects. Together, we will:
Give Bibles to frontline churches in least-reached communities.
See how barriers to the Bible are being demolished through the prayers and support of faithful Christ followers like you.
Every part of our itinerary will showcase the life-changing impact God’s Word in the midst of trauma, persecution, and poverty.

Zanzibar: Unleashing God’s Word for the Least-Reached
Biblica’s ministry focuses on the world’s least-reached places, like Zanzibar, so that millions of overloooked people can experience an abundant life with Jesus.
Although mainland Tanzania is 60% Christian, the island of Zanzibar is almost 100% Muslim. It is very difficult to be a Christian here. Bibles are urgently needed for evangelism and church planting efforts.
This trip is all about getting Bibles to churches in the mission field. For communities sharing a single Bible and for children who have never experienced the love of Jesus, your participation can make an eternal difference.
We hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable trip to experience God’s heart for the people of Zanzibar!
