A Prison Captain In A South Dakota Women’s Prison Reaches Out To Us With One Of The Most Moving Requests For Bibles We’ve Ever Received

Coils of barbed wire crown the tall chain-link fences, while heavy metal-and-glass entrance doors, guarded cell blocks, and camera-monitored entry points all testify to the intense security surrounding the South Dakota Women’s Prison in Pierre.This is a no-nonsense, maximum security prison for female offenders buried deep in the foothills of South Dakota. Captain Samantha Uhrig reached out to us this week with one of the most heartfelt requests for Bibles I think we’ve ever recieved. It will bless you.

“Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.” Psalm 142:7 (KJB)

Her starting email to us was polished, professional and a very straight-forward request for Bibles. It read, in part, “SDWP is currently the intake and maximum-security level facility for women incarcerated in the state of South Dakota. Our state currently incarcerates women at one of the highest rates in the world, we also have the challenge of being located in an area that has limited resources and volunteers due to the length of travel. Currently we house approximately 500 female offenders in our facility. I have been looking for some time to replace our stock of religious materials for our incarcerated population…” That’s about the the type of email request we usually get, so I immediately responded and told her Bibles Behind Bars could absolutely help her. She wrote back and said “Thank you! My stores are completely depleted at this time. If you could send me 250 copies that would help bolster my supply significantly.” I said we would be happy to do that, and that we could also send her one of our Book Boxes, packed with great Christian literature. (see below). It was at this point that the captain got a little emotional.

IN ADDITION TO SENDING KING JAMES BIBLES, WE ALSO SEND OUT OUR BOOK BOX WITH CHRISTIAN READING SELECTED ESPECIALLY FOR THE SPECIFIC FACILITY THAT REQUESTED IT

She went on to tell me that the person who was in charge of the chaplaincy vacated their position and, it was later discovered, left the prison library and Bible program utterly bereft. No books, no library, and worst of all, no Bibles. When it dawned on her that Bibles Behind Bars was able to rebuild her library, with quality books, as well as supplying her with hundreds of Bibles, at no charge, her gratitude was plainly evident. I told her that we would be praying for her, and that Lord would give her “fruit in that day”. Captain Uhrig replied “Thank you!!! I am at a loss for words. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you both. This big hard world needs more people like you who care.” Amen, Cap, that’s what we’re here for. Christian, this is what you are praying for when you pray for this outreach. We minister to the inmates, absolutely, but we also minister to the chaplains, captains, sheriffs, pastors, preachers and volunteers who go into the jails and prisons every day and do the hard work. When you donate, this is what you are supporting, and we need your help now more than ever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Behind Prison Walls At Coyote Ridge And Warren Correctional Institution, Inmates Need The Hope, Comfort, And Salvation Found In A King James Bible

The King James Bible has a power and a majesty to it that speaks with authority. It does not flatter the sinner, but it does point him to the Saviour. For the inmate who feels forgotten, the Bible tells him that God sees. For the prisoner crushed by guilt, the Bible tells him that the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away sin. For the man or woman inmate who thinks their life is over, the Bible tells them that new life can and will begin in Jesus Christ, even in the darkness of a prison cell, if they would only believe. This is what Bibles Behind Bars does every day of the week, this is why we exist.

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9 (KJB)

A personal Bible matters because it becomes more than a book. It becomes a lifeline, the inmate can underline verses in it. They can write prayers in the margins, mark the date when God spoke peace to their heart. He or she can go back again and again to the passages that carried them through despair. That Bible becomes a quiet companion in a place filled with sorrow. It becomes the one possession that reminds them they are not beyond the reach of the grace of God. This is why sending King James Bibles into places like Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution matters so much. We’re not merely mailing paper and ink, we are placing eternal truth into the hands of souls who need it desperately. Your gift is giving light to men and women who are walking in dark places. You are giving truth to those who have believed lies. You are giving comfort to the broken, warning to the hardened, and hope to the repentant. Prayerfully consider giving today to help provide King James Bibles for the inmates at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution. Your gift will place the scriptures into the hands of a prisoner who may be reading the words of life for the very first time. Come help us, we need you!

What Started As One Mother’s Plea For Her Two Incarcerated Sons Has Become An Open Door To Put King James Bibles Into The Hands Of Many Other Inmates

A mother contacted us today through our Bibles Behind Bars program with a heartfelt request for King James Bibles to be sent to her two sons incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility, but the Lord had a much bigger plan in mind. What began as one mother refusing to give up on her boys has now opened the door for many more inmates at that facility to receive the word of God as well. What a timely reminder that when someone steps out in faith, the Lord can take that one act of obedience and multiply it into a blessing that reaches far beyond the original request! Loaves and fishes, anyone?

“When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.” Mark 8:19 (KJB)

After we got the request, I got on the phone with Chaplain Ellis at Mid-State Correctional, confirmed the woman’s two sons (name withheld) as being incarcerated there, and he told me that Mid-State holds a little over 1,500 inmates. I told him we could send him a bunch more than just the two Bibles, at no charge, and he was genuinely surprised and quite grateful for the offer, which he immediately took me up on. What started out as one mother with a burden for her sons to have God’s preserved word is now turning into an open floodgate of witness and ministry. This is why Bibles Behind Bars matters so much, because we are not merely sending books into prisons, we are sending the living word of God into places filled with darkness, regret, and brokenness. Inmates are getting saved, over 1,000 we know of so far, and eternal destinies are forever changed. God has kicked open wide the door of end times opportunity, and we invite you to come and be a part of it. Christian, we need your prayers for this nationwide outreach, as well as your financial support. Come help us!
