Men At Roxbury Correctional Institution Are Coming To Chapel Services, But Some Cannot Afford A Bible—Bibles Behind Bars Is Ready To Answer The Call

Behind the razor wire and concrete walls of Roxbury Correctional Institution in Hagerstown, Maryland, are approximately 1,800 men, each with a story, a past, and a soul that matters to God. Some of these men are coming to chapel, listening to the preaching, and trying to follow along as the Word of God is opened—but they have no Bibles to take with them back to their cells. That is why this request from Chaplain Ralls is so important. It’s a request for the one Book that can pierce the darkness, convict the sinner, comfort the broken, and lead a captive man into the liberty found only in Jesus Christ.

“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (KJB)

Chaplain Ralls writes “RCI houses approximately 1800 Incarcerated Men. We would love to be able to provide men that are unable to afford a bible, a new bible so they can come to service and follow with the word being given. If possible, we would like to request English Bibles and Spanish Bibles. Thank you so much for your help!.” This is the mission of Bibles Behind Bars – to carry the Word of God into places filled with guilt, fear, anger, regret, and hopelessness. We are not excusing crime, minimizing victims, or pretending consequences do not matter. Because they do. What we are doing is declaring that the shed blood of Jesus Christ is still powerful enough to save the worst sinner, and that no prison sentence can place a man beyond the reach of God’s mercy. The same gospel that saved me and you is the very same gospel these men so desperately need. Come help us to answer the call and meet this need for God’s word!

From A Troubled Past To A True Gospel Ministry Opportunity, Allegheny County Jail Requests King James Bibles For Inmates Hungry For Hope And Truth

The Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh has been through a lot. Over the past few years, it has made headlines for all the wrong reasons — deaths in custody, allegations of poor medical care, staffing shortages, lockdowns, and conditions that have brought intense public scrutiny. But in 2025, new leadership came in with a mandate to change the atmosphere, improve conditions, and begin turning the page on a troubled past. Part of that change would seem to be the bringing in of King James Bibles for as many of their 2,000 inmates as we can handle.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJB)

This request from Chaplain Marmo at the Allegheny County Jail is a tremendous opportunity, think about it. They contacted us and asked for the Book. That means they are opening the prison doors for the word of God to go behind the walls, past the checkpoints, through the locked doors, and into the hands of inmates behind the bars who desperately need light in a dark place. We may never stand inside that jail and preach to those inmates face to face, but we can absolutely put a King James Bible in their hands. Allegheny County Jail is trying to move forward from a troubled past under new leadership. But what those inmates really need most is not merely a better institution around them — they need new life in Christ within them. Help us answer this request. Help us send the King James Bible into Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh. Help us put the Book in the hands of people who may be locked up physically, but who can still be made gloriously free in Jesus Christ. Come help us send 500 King James Bibles to Allegheny, they need you and we need you!!

He Was Broken, Hopeless And Behind Bars, Until A King James Bible From Bibles Behind Bars Showed Him The Saving Grace Of Jesus Christ And The Lord Changed His Life Forever

The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry in north Georgia is a collective of 10 different Baptist churches we supply Bibles to who all labour together in the half-dozen jails and prisons that populate the area, minstering to the thousands of inmates who are behind bars for a variety of reasons. I want to introduce you to a recently released prisoner by the name of Phillip Smith who has an amazing testimony of new life in Jesus Christ after sitting under faithful preaching and being given one of our King James Bibles.

“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.” 2 Timothy 2:9 (KJB)

Phillip recently wrote a letter of his testimony which was given to us, and this will warm your heart like little else will. Phillip writes: “Found myself in a mess and behind bars Aug 6, 2025. For 2 weeks I struggled being away from my friends and family. Thinking of the disappointment I’m sure they all felt in me, I contemplated ways to end my troubles. Lost everything I had worked my whole life praying for just to lose it all over a bad habit. I felt no desire to start all over, I thank God for Pastor Shane coming each Thursday night and preaching hope into my heart. Aug 15, 2025 I turned my life over to the Lord and spent the next 2 1/2 months with my eyes and hands full of this bible. I successfully read it from cover to cover. I’m currently working on my second time through. After getting out of jail at the end of Oct. Brother Shane baptized me on Nov 2, 2025, in Holly Creek. If you’re in Holly Creek Nov 2 you better love Jesus, cause its cold. I’ve been attending Anchor Holds Baptist Church since my release, never had a church make me feel so welcome. Love my sermons with Brother David. Love my whole church family and I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” There it is, another soul finding a seat on Flight #777, praise the Lord!

Christian, Bibles Behind Bars is the link in the supply chain for groups like the Gospel Truth Jail Ministry who desperately need ministries like us to keep them supplied with King James Bibles. The man in the top photo is holding the actual Bible we provided for him, the “scripture of truth” that led him to the Lord Jesus. Gospel Truth Jail Ministry has now used up all the Bibles we sent them last year, giving them to inmates like Phillip, and have just reached out asking if we can supply them with 500 more. We sure can, but it will cost $2,207.20 to do it, and that’s where we need your help. Come help us!!
