Description

A determined twelve‑year‑old girl in rural Wales spends six years gathering every spare penny she can, driven by a single longing: to own a Bible in her own language. When she finally has enough, she sets out on a barefoot trek of twenty‑five miles to the nearest town, hoping the shopkeeper will have the treasure she has imagined for so long.

Her quiet perseverance catches the attention of a local minister, whose concern for countless other families without a Bible sparks a wider movement. The modest act of one child becomes the seed of a society devoted to making the Scriptures affordable and accessible everywhere. Listeners will be moved by the simple power of faith and the ripple effect that one humble desire can create.
