As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, people are turning to the Bible in record numbers. That includes people from all walks of life and spiritual backgrounds.

"It's actually been pretty incredible," Ryan Rempel says about the past month for his ministry, Give The Word. Rempel's job is pretty simple: give away as many Bibles as he can, and find people to help pay for those Bibles.

While he's had to bring meetings with partners and donors to a halt he says that the other side of his job is increasing every day.

"We've seen a huge influx of people inquiring about the Word, about wanting to get a Bible for themself. And then, also, a huge influx of people who are taking opportunities, or using this pandemic as an opportunity to share the Gospel and asking for Bibles."

Rempel says he's also finding that many Christians are willing more than ever to share their faith with others, and one of the easiest ways they do that is by giving people a Bible.

"They're sending stories to us all the time of conversations that they've had with people which opened up the opportunity for them to give them a Bible. And then they're contacting us saying 'Hey, I met this person, here's the story, can I get one from you ... it's really really cool what's happening."

'My house has many rooms'

One of those stories came recently from a woman who became a Christian a few years ago after she received a Bible from Give The Word. Rempel says that the woman recently contacted him to let him know about another woman she had a conversation with who just happened to be a psychic.

The psychic had wanted to hire the woman for a writing project, which she declined because of her new Christian faith. As the woman explained her reasoning the psychic was understanding, Rempel says.

The woman told Rempel "Then (the psychic) called me the next and said 'I had this crazy vision from God where Jesus said 'In my house are many, many rooms.' What does that mean?'"

Give The Word was able to get her a Help Finder Bible which outlines over 600 sections for different life events and questions. The psychic called the woman back to let her know that after reading through the Scriptures she dedicated her life to Jesus and left behind her new age spirituality. 

While the psychic may not have seen her life taking that kind of turn it's a story that Rempel hears all the time because of people stepping out and sharing their faith, and Bibles, with others.
