A vicar has sent out more than 3,140 free Bibles on request after an impromptu offer he made on TikTok blew up his inbox.
In May last year, the Reverend David Sims from St Thomas Church in Aldridge, Walsall, put out "a ridiculous video" offering free Bibles to anyone who asked.
"I made up a little song which was, if you want a Bible, message me for a free one," he said.
He woke up the next morning to find himself inundated by requests. "I think I had about 500 messages overnight," he said. "It had tens of thousands of views. It just went on like that for a good few weeks."
Keen to not turn anyone away, his church sprang into action.
