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. Click here to see which Fire Bibles are already ministering around the world as well as those that are still in process.

 

What languages has the Fire Bible been printed?

What is the Fire Bible?
   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 the worldwide 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 in their language. The Fire Bible is now available in more than 25 language editions, with at least 30 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 Bible by 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?

Who is Don Stamps?
 

   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 the time. Don realized the great need to provide pastors and Christian workers a study Bible with notes that have a Pentecostal emphasis. 
   After presenting 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 on the 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.
