Myanmar, with its 142 recognized people groups speaking 131 different languages, is fractured on political and ethnic levels. 54 people groups remain unreached, and Christians continue to be ruthlessly persecuted. Nevertheless, the Church is growing and the number one request is for Bibles and Christian resources.</p><p>The need to equip Myanmar's millions is imperative. The Burmese Treasures library of digital resources launches this multi-ministry effort to equip believers with a tool that can be shared and distributed on devices such as personal computers, tablets, smart phones, and Mp3 players. Burmese Treasures contains bibles, the Jesus film in two languages, the Hope Video, the Story of Jesus for Children, literacy tools, and a variety of Gospel recordings for inspiration, teaching and evangelism.</p>",

"description": "<p>The People's Republic of China is now the world’s most populated country with well over 1 billion people. Long before the 1949 Communist takeover, China was closed to the gospel, both because the cross was seen as a symbol of foreign oppression and because of sheer logistics. Now, with the explosive growth of Christianity and the rise of thousands of house churches, the need for Bibles and resources is unprecedented. Conservative estimates are that there are more than 100,000 believers in China – most still without Bibles. Moreover, China is emerging as a world leader in technology making the digital option the obvious method for equipping the Chinese churches with the resources they desperately need.</p><p>Since 2001, the Digital Bible Society has been serving the Chinese church with the production and distribution of Chinese Treasures – a digital Bible library loaded with a variety of Chinese Bibles, books, commentaries, tools, and resources contributed by over 30 organizations all beautifully presented in both Simplified and Traditional typeface. These free and free-to-copy libraries have placed priceless resources in the hands of millions of believers, enquirers, and leaders.</p>",

"description": "<p>French is, of course, associated with France but that’s not where most of its speakers live. According to a 2007 report by the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, an estimated 115 million Africans, spread across 31 Francophone countries like Algeria, Niger, Chad, and Senegal speak it as either a first or second language. As the church in Africa grows, so too does the need to provide believers with the discipleship tools they need to thrive. French Treasures is an effort to meet this need. It contains Bibles in audio and video format as well as a host of other useful resources like books and audio teachings. Like all, DBS Bible libraries, French Treasures is free and free-to-copy. You can download it here or order it on an SD-chip or DVD from our store.</p>",

Korean, the standard language of both South Korea and North Korea, is based on the dialect of the area around Seoul, though the northern standard after the Korean War has been influenced by the dialect of P'yŏngyang.</p><p>The separation of the two Korean states has resulted in increasing differences among the dialects that have emerged over time. Since the allies of the newly founded nations split the Korean peninsula in half after 1945, the newly formed Korean nations have since borrowed vocabulary extensively from their respective allies. As the Soviet Union helped industrialize North Korea and establish it as a communist state, the North Koreans therefore borrowed a number of Russian terms. Likewise, since the United States helped South Korea extensively to develop militarily, economically, and politically, South Koreans therefore borrowed extensively from English. The differences among northern and southern dialects have become so significant that many North Korean defectors reportedly have had great difficulty communicating with South Koreans after having initially settled into South Korea.</p><p>Christianity in Korea includes both Protestantism and Catholicism, accounting for 8.6 million and 5.3 million members, respectively. The growth of both denominations was gradual before 1945. In that year, approximately 2% of the population was Christian. Rapid growth ensued after the war, when Korea was freed from Japanese occupation by the Allies: by 1991, 18.4% of the population (8.0 million) was Protestant, and 6.7% (2.5 million) was Catholic. The Catholic Church has increased its membership by 70% in the ten years leading up to 2007. Numerous unorthodox sects, such as the Unification Church founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, have also developed in Korea.</p><p>As of 2014, about 30% of the South Korean population is Christian.</p>",

With 83.1 million speakers in 2019, Marathi ranks 10th in the list of most spoken languages in the world. Marathi has the third largest number of native speakers in India, after Hindi and Bengali. The language has some of the oldest literature of all modern Indian languages, dating back to around 600 AD. The major dialects of Marathi are Standard Marathi and the Varhadi dialect. Koli and Malvani Konkani have been heavily influenced by Marathi varieties.</p><p>Marathi is one of those languages that are less known abroad, simply because of the smaller amount of emigration from the Indian state of Maharashtra. It may be that Marathi coexisted with KANNADA as a spoken language for an extended period during the first millennium AD, and that heavy influence from both Kannada and Telugu led to its rather rapid differentiation from Sanskrit, as compared with the more conservative Hindi. Standard Marathi is based on dialects used by academics and the print media. Indic scholars distinguish 42 dialects of spoken Marathi. Dialects bordering other major language areas have many properties in common with those languages, further differentiating them from standard spoken Marathi. The bulk of the variation within these dialects is primarily lexical and phonological. Although the number of dialects is considerable, the degree of intelligibility within these dialects is relatively high.</p>",

By the 20th century, Iranian churches were virtually non-existent.</p><p>After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the nation of Iran took a turn for the worst. Civil liberties became nonexistent, and a once proud people were reduced to living under the tyranny of Islamic nationalism. That was thirty years ago. The original revolutionaries are now disillusioned with the system they helped instate, and their children are now rioting in the streets. Reports are coming in that Christianity is exploding with millions of believers now meeting across Iran in secret for fear of the regime.</p><p>Persian Treasures, the second library created by the Digital Bible Society, is intended to serve this movement. The compiled work of over 20 organizations, Persian Treasures provides a vast amount of resources and is available in libraries of 4 to 32 GB micro SD chips (or DVDs) and provides Persian Bibles, full commentaries, evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, children's, teen, and family resources, as well as worship resources, and a growing number of minority Bibles, videos and gospel recordings.</p>",

"description": "<p>According to the Somali government, there are 200 Christians in Somalia. This is a lie. Somalian authorities want foreigners to believe that they are a Muslim nation and that the only Christians are foreigners, Somali-born descendants of foreigners, and members of the Bantu minority ethnic group. The true number of Somali Christians is unknown, but whatever it is the Muslim majority is intent on seeing it dwindle. In 2014, a convert in Nairobi was thrown from a fourth floor balcony after Muslims learned that he left Islam for his Christian faith. Underground Somali churches cannot worship openly as leaving Islam is a crime punishable by death. The persecution of Christians is a reality that the international community has acknowledged, but done little to remedy it. Somali Treasures is a resource intended to aid the church in Somalia. It is an electronic resource library that can work on phones, projectors, and personal computers. Along with printable resources, Somali Treasures has discipleship and evangelistic books, movies, and (more importantly) the Bible in audio and video format, basically everything a Somalian church materially needs to grow and flourish.</p>",
