As also mentioned earlier, the underground Christians in China engage in secret bible printing. When distributed directly to the Chinese underground house churches, these Bibles cost around $3 per copy.

bible printing – Advantages

For the same amount of funds, such local printing can deliver 3-4 times more Bibles to the underground house church Christians in China compared to Bible smuggling.

Bible Printing – Disadvantages

As also mentioned earlier, smuggling Bibles into China risks only a nominal fine for the Western Bible smugglers, to whom the confiscated Bibles are even returned on their out of China.

By contrast, Chinese Christians who are caught printing, warehousing and/or transporting Bibles that had been "illegally" printed inside China face prison sentences, and the confiscated Bibles are not returned.

One of the ways that Bibles reach China’s underground church today is through Bibles Unbound. Operated by Voice of the Martyrs, Bibles Unbound allows Christians in the West to pay $30 to mail 5 Chinese New Testaments to an underground house church Christian in China.

Bibles Unbound's New Testaments are printed clandestinely inside China by the underground house church Christians, smuggled out of China and sent across the world so that they can then be mailed back to other underground house church Christians inside China.

Bibles Unbound – Advantages

Bibles Unbound makes it easy for the senders to participate in Bible smuggling and therefore expands their base, raises awareness and generates revenues for Voice of the Martyrs’ other ministries.

Bibles Unbound – Disadvantages

Printing New Testaments inside China and then smuggling them out, shipping them half way around the world so that they can be shipped back by mail, which are customs-controlled, bears avoidable risks for the underground Chinese Christians who print and smuggle out these New Testaments.

It is also inefficient, as demonstrated by its price tag. If $30 were sent to China's underground house church Christians, they can buy 70-90 copies of the Amity New Testament at a Three Self church bookstore instead of receiving 5 copies by mail.
