全球逾5亿基督徒面临圣经获取限制
据报告：芝加哥，2026年10月1日——Bible Access Initiative 发布第二届《Bible Access List》报告，估计全球超过5亿基督徒因政府管控、极端主义暴力、家庭与社群压力等与迫害相关的因素，在获取圣经时受到限制，其中约2.5亿人的处境被评估为“非常困难”。
报告覆盖106个国家。报告从迫害相关限制以及贫困、缺电、识字率低、网络受限等社会经济因素等多个维度评估圣经获取情况。“圣经限制榜”前五名为：
🇦🇫 阿富汗
🇾🇪 也门
🇸🇴 索马里
🇰🇵 朝鲜
🇪🇷 厄立特里亚
另一份“圣经短缺榜”估算有圣经需求、但尚未获得圣经的基督徒人数。报告称，刚果民主共和国、埃塞俄比亚、尼日利亚和印度的相关缺口均超过1000万人。
报告还指出，圣经“可得到”并不等于“能够获取”。报告估计，超过4亿基督徒生活在互联网接入受限的42个国家，数字圣经因此无法解决所有地区的圣经获取问题。

More Than 500 Million Christians Face Barriers to Bible Access
Report: Chicago, October 1, 2026 — Bible Access Initiative has released its second annual Bible Access List, estimating that more than 500 million Christians worldwide face restrictions in accessing the Bible due to persecution-related factors, including government controls, extremist violence, and pressure from families and communities. About 250 million are estimated to face “very difficult” conditions.
The report covers 106 countries. It assesses Bible access across multiple dimensions, including persecution-related restrictions as well as socioeconomic barriers such as poverty, lack of electricity, low literacy, and limited internet access. The top five countries on the report’s Bible Restrictions List are:
🇦🇫 Afghanistan
🇾🇪 Yemen
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇰🇵 North Korea
🇪🇷 Eritrea
A separate Bible Shortage List estimates the number of Christians who need a Bible but have not yet received one. The report estimates that the Bible shortage in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and India exceeds 10 million people in each country.
The report also emphasizes that “availability” does not always mean “access.” It estimates that more than 400 million Christians live in 42 countries where internet access is limited, meaning digital Bibles cannot solve every Bible-access challenge.

🙏 Prayer Focus
Pray for Christians around the world who cannot freely obtain a Bible. May God protect believers facing persecution and open doors for the translation, printing, transportation, and distribution of Scripture, so that more people can safely read God’s Word.
