## Resource

A powerful conversation with Kevin Freeman, Bob Burkle, and Dirk Smith on the remarkable mission of Eastern European Mission—printing and distributing millions of Bibles across Eastern Europe and beyond. From covert “Marlboro Bibles” to truckloads after the Berlin Wall fell, discover how Scripture is transforming schools, prisons, and entire communities. Hear true stories like the traveling train Bible that sparked a village revival and how today’s Bibles for Kids campaign is changing young lives. Learn how to partner at eem.org and fuel a movement where demand for God’s Word is outpacing supply. @PirateMoney
