These Drones Are Dropping Bibles, Not Bombs!

Credit :

 An evangelical church in the Swedish city of Uppsala plans to drop thousands of small, electronic Bibles into areas controlled by the Islamic State terror groups using drones "to pass on the hope and love of the Christian Gospel."

The Word of Life Church told the local television channel SVT about its plan to fly drones high in the sky over the territory of Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh, and throw the Bibles, according to The Local.
The church's mission director Christian Akerhielm was quoted as saying that the Bibles are the size of pill boxes and have a display, and that they require no electricity.

"Our ambition is to pass on the hope and love of the Christian gospel to a population living in closed areas where they are being denied human rights," the church said on its website. "We start our project in a few weeks and hope to drop thousands of Bibles."
