I, personally, have been blessed by the JOY that comes from the Chara Project. I first learned about the Chara Project at a conference in West Jordan, Utah about a year ago. After hearing about their mission and vision statements, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Heather and Sarah and ask questions about Chara Project. It was then I realized these ladies had such a heart for Jesus! It was out of the overflow of their hearts pouring Jesus out that I began on a journey to learn and grow in how I study the Bible. I thought I knew how to read and understand the Bible, but not deeply. It wasn't until I took a class that the Chara Project teaches on how to read and understand the Bible that I realized how to use context, history the author and other resources to better help me in reading the Bible. I was also blessed with some sweet one-on-one mentorship by one of the precious ladies. It was then I realized their simplified tools work when it comes to understanding what I am reading in the Bible. I learned to not be told what to think when it comes to reading and studying the Bible but how to think on my own. This was LIFE CHANGING for me! Since I have used the Chara Bible Study Guide, the online Bible studies, and the podcasts of the Chara Project my relationship with Jesus has become deeper and sweeter! The JOY I have felt in diving deeper in the Bible recently is really what this non-profit is all about and I am learning how myself to share that JOY with others! Thank you Chara Project for showing me sweet JOY that comes from digging deeper in the Bible and my relationship with Jesus!

Chara Project is wonderful- the cofounders have hearts of gold, and Chara’s community is spreading joy. The study Bible giveaways have been so fun, and the content that Chara has created is very useful in enabling people to delve into the Bible, even if they’ve never opened one before. The Chara essentials acronym tool is a really helpful teaching tool. This ministry has a vital role in training and equipping individuals and the broader community in knowing God through reading God’s Word.

The founders of the Chara project are trustworthy, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. I've had the privilege of participating in some of their guided studies--the lessons and truths they extract are timely and precious. These three dynamic women are quick to listen, be supportive, and accepting. Regardless of your beliefs, you belong. It is an honor to know these women and reap the wealth of their study and experience.

I have been fortunate enough to be following the Chara project from the very first launch party. I was touched by the vision of unity and love that Chara has ... all through uniting women in the Bible.

The studies I've followed as part of their program have been well researched and thought provoking. I love learning more about the Bible. I love being united with all women regardless of religious background and learning together.

The Chara Project is changing lives by giving women the tools to discover Bible truths with others and the ability to study the Bible on their own. Women are encouraged to take the deeper dive into discovering truth for themselves while taking away the daunting challenge of where to begin. One of the important ways they do this is by making available a beautiful study Bible to anyone who needs one. It's been encouraging to see Chara's passionate team have a heart to meet the spiritual hunger of women wherever they are on their journey through the Bible. I am looking forward to watching the continued impact of changed lives as God uses this ministry in the coming months and years.

Have you ever gotten bogged down by trying to study the Bible and just don't know how to get going? Whether tenured or brand new to studying the Bible, this is a website for you. These three women have put together a practical way to get the most out of your Bible reading and studying that I have found. Using a study Bible and the references around the passage they guide you to find out what the passage means, who it was written to and the history of the time, the context around it, and how you can apply it to your own life. I highly recommend you try The Chara Project to explore a new way to have a fresh experience in Bible study. I love it!

The Chara Project is addressing a serious challenge faced by millions of believers; understanding how to effectively study the Bible.

Before finding the Chara Project I would often jump straight to applying what I'd read, missing so much of the meaning of the text. And this is coming from someone who grew up in the Christian community doing home church where I thought I knew how to study the Bible already!

I've seen a huge benefit from using their simple framework, Context, History, Author, Read, Apply, and other resources as I grow my personal relationship with Jesus. Now I've been able to lead my own small group and personal study with more confidence and richer insight. Very thankful for this ministry and the powerful women who lead it.
