DescIn 2023, we provided training and Christian education to close to 16,000 people through Bible study webinars, advanced trainings, discipleship intensives, accredited distance learning, specialized training for youth and children ministry, and our threemonth leadership and church-planting course. Over 1,000 women attended women's webinars, and 630 women participated in day conferences for women's ministry. Over 500 men participated in men's ministry events. Another 7,500+ Christians used Safar to engage in one-to-one discipleship. We provided support, mentoring, and strategic planning to a growing number of trained leaders who are providing pastoral care and Bible education to others. In 2023, we helped over 750 trained leaders in their ministry. We distributed Christian Scriptures widely and sent 25,000 Bibles and 200,000 New Testaments to print. 61 new titles were translated or written for print, and 60 titles were re-printed for use in discipleship and evangelism. We broadcast weekly Christian programming for women, children, Christian worship, and evangelism. More than 500 short video clips were filmed, along with new episodes of TV programming for children, women, and worship.
