What is the ministry of Bible Alliance?
The Assemblies of God Bible Alliance is a growing ministry made up of churches and
individuals that are dedicated to producing the Fire Bible in the major languages of
the world. There are many study Bibles readily available in the English language to
help us understand and rightly divide the Word. However, there are those in the
world that are not as blessed. Most Pentecostals worldwide have no study Bible,
much less a Pentecostal study Bible, in a language they can read and understand. The
Assemblies of God Bible Alliance, with your help, is changing that equation through
the production of the Fire Bible. It is an awesome task, and we continue to need your
help to provide Fire Bibles for national pastors and lay workers overseas....
What languages has the Fire Bible been printed?

Fire Bible is the name for the international language editions of the *Full Life Study Bible,
one of the few Pentecostal study Bibles in existence.
Often referred to as a one-book Pentecostal library, this study Bible contains 77 theme
articles, a concordance, 43 maps and charts,introductions to each book of the Bible, and
Pentecostal study notes.
The Full Life Study Bible was started in the early 1980s as an individual missionary project
by the late missionary Don Stamps (1938-1991). While serving in Brazil, he recognized a
great need among pastors and lay workers for a study Bible written from a Pentecostal
perspective. Soon after the completion of the Pentecostal notes, Don went to be with the
Lord following a struggle with cancer.
A short time later, Assemblies of God World Missions leaders saw theworldwide potential
for this Pentecostal study Bible and asked Life Publishers to begin producing it in the major
languages of the world.
Today,pastors and lay workers in Burma, China, India, Indonesia, Madagascar,Russia and
many other countries have access to this study Bible intheir language. The Fire Bible is now
available in more than 26 language editions, with at least 31 more in development.
*The Life in the Spirit Study Bible (Full Life Study Bible in English) is now sold in many U.S.
Christian bookstores. Check it out.
Where did the name Fire Bible come from?
It was first called the Fire Bibleby believers in mainland China -
after they received their Bibles in Chinese - because of its Pentecostal
message. The Bible Alliance adopted that name because it is very
appropriate. The Fire Bible is fueling the flames of Pentecostal revival
around the world.
Is there a Fire Bible in large print?

| Donald Stamps (1938-1991) received the vision, call and urgency from God to begin work on the Full Life Study Bible (now called the Fire Bible)in 1980. He and his wife, Linda, were missionaries to Brazil at thetime. Don realized the great need to provide pastors and Christian workers a study Bible with notes that have a Pentecostal emphasis. Afterpresenting the idea to Assemblies of God World Missions leaders and receiving approval for the project, Don diligently started work on the Full Life Study Bible.In 1990 he was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly after he finished work onthe Bible and its Pentecostal notes, Don went to be with the Lord. In 1983 Assemblies of God World Missions leaders approved a project to produce the Fire Bible in the major languages of the world. Today Bible Alliance has helped translate and produce the Fire Bible in 26 language editions, and 32 more are in development. |  |

Ramadan Prayer Guide
 |
We are in the last full week of Ramadan. It will come to an end somewhere between the 8th and 10th of September depending on the sighting of the moon. Ramadan will end with a two-day celebration called “Eid Al-Fitr.” “Eid” is the Arabic word for “festivity” and “Al-Fitr” carries the idea of “to purify.” Thus, “Eid Al-Fitr” is the Festival of Purification.
Please pray with us that people
of this religious persuasion around the world will come to the knowledge that
only the blood of Jesus can purify them from their sins.
