Starting with no money, no resources, not even a boat, God supernaturally provided everything needed. The barge sailed from the Philippines to Hong Kong and then on to China. The delivery was successfully completed on the evening of 18 June, 1981. More than 10,000 Chinese believers gathered along a beach near the city of Shantou in southern China and took the one million Bibles away in trucks, cars, donkey carts, on bicycles and strung across bamboo poles.

In June 1981, a huge barge containing one million Chinese bibles slipped past Communist border patrols and anchored off a beach in South China.

Time magazine described it as “A remarkable mission…the largest operation of its kind in the history of China.” Many Chinese church leaders today say that Project Pearl was a pivotal moment in their history.

The Church had only just started to re-emerge after decades of brutal oppression and the desperate need of believers everywhere was for Bibles. A quarter of a century later reports are still being received of the tremendous impact those Bibles had on whole communities. Chinese Christians consider Project Pearl a key event which contributed greatly to the mighty revival presently sweeping the world’s most populous nation.
