With the Russian/Ukrainian war in 2022, Bible paper became scarce. Bible publishers all over the world began mass-producing Ukrainian and Russian Bibles for shipment. To further complicate our situation, PrimaBible 45 gsm paper is only produced every few years in France. There was no production set for the near future. We were basically told that we were at the mercy of the paper mill and we would have to simply wait for them to decide to produce it.
I got an email from our printer towards the end of May 2023 stating that the paper mill “happened” to decide that they were going to produce this paper and that we could get in the order if we wished. It was a rare thing that the printer decided was a “coincidence”. Of course, we knew that God had put all that in place.
We were able to put the order in for all the paper we would need. We were only nervous about the cost. Being the highest quality Bible paper in the world, it isn’t cheap. We were blown away by the number that we were given to be able to get the order started. God provided the paper at a down payment price that we were just able to attain. The paper was ordered June 7, 2023 and is currently in storage waiting for the text for printing.
