The French Bible Society is set to distribute a special edition of the New Testament during the upcoming Paris Olympics. They will hand out 140,000 French and 60,000 English copies, aiming to leave a "lasting legacy beyond the athletic arenas." This edition includes testimonies from Christian athletes like French handball champion Joël Abati and Australian high jumper Nicola Olyslagers. The initiative, named "More Precious than Gold," is inspired by 1 Peter 7 and underscores the value of faith. The distribution is a collaborative effort with various Christian sporting ministries, highlighting shared values that transcend sport and spirituality. The initial plan to print 100,000 French and 30,000 English copies was expanded due to high demand. Over 11 million visitors are expected in Paris for the Olympics and Paralympics, which conclude on September 8. Jonathan Boulet, General Secretary of the French Bible Society, emphasized the enduring impact of the Bible and the importance of accessibility provided by Bible Societies worldwide. This initiative is one of over 500 Church and Christian ministry projects during the games. Visit www.lovefrance.world for more information.
