👉Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”👈

Does that mean your goals can be whatever, and you say “I am doing this for God,” while you do what you want? 🧐

No! That verse means that you should be planning your life according to the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit.👌

Whatever your heart pursues, let it honor and reflect Jesus. We simply do outreach for Him.

Hey folks! We hope everyone is staying safe in this weather. As it is currently very cold outside, please be praying for the people around you without homes to stay warm. These conditions are dangerous for them. We are also asking for the following donations: socks, coats, scarves, gloves, hand warmers, hats (anything warm), as well as any clothing, tote bags, string bags, soaps, deodorants, first aid kits, hand sanitizer, or anything else that could be useful (you can message me if you’re not sure). Read these verses and remember God’s sovereignty: Exodus 3:7-10 “The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Hey everyone! This winter we will be having a coat drive! Any extra coats that you have laying around your house would be of great use! Each and every coat that is donated will be given to people who are homeless or to a homeless shelter. We can pick up any coats from you or you can drop them off at one of our donation spots. Please either contact OR Homes for Bibles from homesforbibles.org OR you can DM this page if you have any extra coats. Of course, we will still be accepting other donations, but as the winter season approaches, we want to be ready.

Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Packing some more bags! Thank you to all who donated. Thank you God for providing for us every step of the way! Matthew 6:31-32 31 “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.”

Hey everyone! There have not been any posts in the past 6 months but that does not mean that we haven’t been busy. God has sustained this ministry for over 18 months now!

For those of you who are new to Homes for Bibles, we are a Christ-centered ministry that focuses on putting together ‘care packages’ for homeless people around Ohio. We pursue Christ through our efforts to reach people with the knowledge of Him. We first and foremost put a Holy Bible in these packages. We believe that the Bible is completely infallible and inspired by God for man. We annotate a few verses that are important to understand for people who have never read the Bible before. We also include soap, shampoo, deodorant, individually packages snacks, blankets, water bottles, devotionals, toys (for kids), and the #1 requested item, socks. We like to provide for the physical needs of people who are homeless, but our ministry goal is to provide the knowledge of Christ to those who do not understand. Now that we are 18 months in, we are evermore excited to keep on going!

If you have read this far then you are probably wondering what the purpose of this post is. Well, we made it for 2 reasons:

1. To let you know that God has provided for this ministry for 18 months now!

2. To let you know that we are always in need of monetary or supply donations.

Our website will tell you how you can donate if you tap or click on the “DONATE” tab from the home page. If none of the donation methods work for you, please FB message Homes for Bibles or Zach Lewald. We also have a page that provides information about HFB and any updates. We appreciate all your help so far!

Acts 20:32-35
32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing. 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions. 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

Homes for Bibles is a non-profit organization created by two teens from Ohio and their friends that gives Bibles to the homeless along with many other necessities.

This past year, God has given us so many opportunities to serve people around Columbus! However, we also got to indirectly help people in another country as well! Love Packages is a Christian organization that focuses on giving Bibles to people all around the world. They contact people and ask if they have any spare Bibles that could be donated (sound familiar?) and so we donated 280 of them! Those Bibles were given to people in Africa! God loves us here in the U.S. but He is also involved with those around the world! Please pray for these people, that God would open their hearts to Him so that they might know and love Him. 1 John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

God has blessed Homes for Bibles in many ways throughout the past year. One of the biggest blessings that we have received came in the form of a very large amount of Bibles! Through a few faithful friends, we were able to get in contact with Grace Polaris Church in Westerville. They had just recently finished a building project and found that they had a large number of extra Bibles. About 1000 to be more specific! We got in contact with them and they said that they've been looking for someone to give them to. It was God's plan for us to receive those Bibles because they have been a HUGE blessing to us! We have given away 400+ Bibles so far and plan to give them all away! We donated 280 of them to a Christian organization in Africa (another blog post about this coming soon) and have handed out over 120 to homeless people in Columbus! Through God's provision and guidance, we plan to continue giving Bibles to homeless people around Columbus and we thank all of you who have helped us in that!
