The Bibles Behind Bars Program is not just blossoming, it is exploding as chaplains and preachers who minister in jails, prisons and detention centers across America are reaching out and asking for Bibles!

As I have said before, the Lord really snuck this one in, giving us a whole, new ministry without even realizing it at the time. I am, of course, talking about the Bibles Behind Bars program launched back in July of this year. Our heavenly appointment the Lord set up for us with the Saint Lucie County Jail being the ‘game changer’ to break out from the Free Bible and Gospel Tract Program into something quite new and different indeed.

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 68:11 (KJB)

This Thursday I travel down south to meet Chaplain David and his assistant Virginia, she is the person who originally contacted us regarding getting some Bibles down to their facility. Please keep me in your prayers for traveling mercies, and that the Lord would give me an open door to minister the gospel of the grace of God to the souls there. Let me take a moment to give you just a piece of what the Bibles Behind Bars Program has been doing since its inception in July.

Saint Lucie County Jail – Ft. Pierce, Florida 1,654 Bibles
Martin County Jail – Ft. Pierce Florida 100 Bibles
Eliza Shirly House – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 150 Bibles
South Texas ICE Processing Center – Pearsall, Texas 1,100 Bibles
John B. Connally Unit – Kenedy, Texas 72 Bibles
Franklin County Sheriff’s Department – Carnesville, Georgia 100 Bibles
Chaplain James Remer – Taft, Oklahoma 48 Bibles
JH Lilley Correctional Center – Boley, Oklahoma 48 Bibles
Northeast OK Correctional Center – Vinita, Oklahoma 48 Bibles
Adair County Regional Jail – Columbia, Kentucky 110 Bibles
TDCJ E. Glossbrenner SAFPF Unit – San Diego, Texas 24 Bibles
Webb County Detention Center – Laredo, Texas 200 Bibles
Joseph Harp Correctional Center – Lexington, Oklahoma 48 Bibles

On top of this, we have another half dozen facilities just coming online now, like the facility in the Rio Grande, the Stephens County Detention Center and others all of whom are requesting King James Bibles in English and Spanish. All of this taking place since the middle of July, how amazing is that? The cost to send the Bibles in you see in just this list was $15,061.03, and it will cost roughly another $6,000.00 to get the newest facilities Bibles. Please note that all of this is an addition to the Free Bible Program that sends to individuals, street preachers, foreign missionaries and pastors around the world. But wait!! Did I mention the Cup Of Porridge Program? Wow, the Lord is really dumping it on us.

Chaplain Farwell Of The Elmira Correctional Facility In Upstate New York Writes To Tell Us Of The ‘Desperate Need’ Of Their Inmates For Copies Of The Word Of God

The Elmira Correctional Facility in update New York has an urgent need for hundreds of copies of God’s preserved word

Elmira Correctional is a maximum ‘A facility’ in upstate NY, writes Chap Farwell. He says “We house between 1500 – 1600 incarcerated men. Approximately 600 are in our Reception Center either as parole violators, recidivists, or first time offenders awaiting classification that will send them to another correctional facility to serve their sentences and to be enrolled into a program designed to correct their behavior. Most don’t have any faith life at all even though their families may have. However, when the reality of being incarcerated hits them they reach out in desperation, which is where we as chaplains come in.” Chaplain Farwell is serving on the front lines, and Bibles Behind Bars is keeping his supply lines open.

“But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” Genesis 39:21 (KJB)

Chap went on to say “Most ask for Bibles and for many it is their first one. As chaplains, we direct them to scripture and let them know that God loves them and quite possibly this is God’s plan for them. This is where they can encounter God, but they have to come to know God and the Bible helps them to do their part. We give these Bibles freely in the hope that they will give God a chance to speak to them and they can speak to God. We are constantly seeking Bibles and if you can be a source to provide them we would be most grateful. We especially need large print. Whatever you can do would be most appreciated. God bless you for your work.” Christian, God has called us to stand in the gap for the ‘least of these’ and to give them a copy of God’s preserved word. Come help us to do that, we need you!

The Leon County Detention Facility in Florida is struggling with an inability to keep their inmates supplied with Bibles as the need is great but the supplies are few

As many of you know, our whole family was hit with the Subclade K super flu this week, and all activity here at NTEB basically stopped. Lori and I want to thank everyone for your fervent and effectual prayer for our recovery. This is why we are a praying people, so thank you, everyone. Well, while I am not yet fully recovered, I thought I had better dust off the keyboard and write about something. Nothing in the news really interested me, and then I saw an email come over from Chaplain Marshall at the Leon County Detention Facility in Florida. What he had to say snapped me right to attention. Time to write.

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 (KJB)

Dr. Marshall’s email says “We really need your help. We are struggling with constant requests for the bible. We have over 1000 inmates. I am reaching out because we should never have to turn an inmate away who is seeking Gods word. The need is urgent so please send us as many bibles as possible on an ongoing basis. May God Bless You. We can only accept PAPER Bibles.” This is the very reason for which Bibles Behind Bars was raised up for, to send God’s preserved word into as many jail and prison cells as possible. They need a thousand Bibles are quickly as possible, and with your help we can do it. The cost to send these Bibles out is $4,550, please pray about joining with us to get this done. Bibles Behind Bars is the chaplain’s lifeline that allows them to do the work God has called them to do. Help us to keep the gospel supply lines open!

Chaplain Ron At The Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus In California, That Has Inmates As Young As 12-Years Old, Just Reached Out To Us For Bibles

The Juvenile Justice Campus in Fresno, California has inmates as young as 12-years old and up to 25 who need Bibles, come help us to send them

The Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus is used primarily as a detention facility to hold minors who have committed a law violation while they are being processed through the Juvenile Court. In addition to holding minors pending court action, the Juvenile Justice Campus provides secure confinement for minors pending delivery to the California Youth Authority, other juvenile and adult justice jurisdictions, foster and group home placements, and court ordered commitments. The ages range from as young as 12, and up to 25. I cannot imagine what it would be like for a 12-year old to find themselves behind bars. One thing’s for sure, they need Bibles and we need to give them to them.

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:14 (KJB)

Chaplain Ron reached out earlier today and said “I am the Senior Chaplain for the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus. We house youth ages 12 to 25 who have committed serious crimes. We have two components at our facility, Detention and Commitment. We currently have 125 inmates. We are always in need of Bibles and are grateful for any resources available. We would also love to have as many Comic Book Bibles as you could make available. The average reading level of our population is 3rd grade. What ever you can do to help us out would be greatly appreciated.” I asked Chaplain Ron if he could use a Bible for every inmate along with the Christian comics, and he replied with a very enthusiastic “yes!” This is where you come in, please help us to meet this urgent need for God’s preserved word. We need you!
