I would like to take a moment to wish Michael Ray Smith a Happy Birthday. Mike is the founded ICBM in 1975, the year he Graduated Kentucky Christian College. He has served with ICBM and many other outreaches to the blind in his years of ministry. He is a great Man of God that has had a great impact in his unique experience in life. Feel free to reach out to Mike or leave a comment wishing him a happy birthday today.

It was a great week at International Conference on Missions at Kentucky Christian University. We always enjoy getting to interact with the students and staff. Here are some pictures with descriptions of how the week progressed. Thank you to ICOM and KCU for this great event, and to all the students who came to talk and engage with the missionaries.

We are excited for this week, We get to participate in the International Conference on Missions(ICOM) at Kentucky Christian University(KCU).

David Empson was the guest speaker for Chapel today to kick off the events of ICOM at KCU. His message was given on the importance of the Great Commission to "Go and make Disciples."

Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

During this week on KCU campus, we get to talk with the students about missions and how they can get involved. It is a great opportunity to interact with students and get them interested in the possibility of Mission trips, volunteering or work in for a mission organization. Please lift the Students and staff of KCU and the mission organizations in prayer for these interactions this week to impact the lives of so many people.

We also are preparing for the ICOM gathering in St. Louis, MO on November 12-14, 2026. If you are planning to attend ICOM, we would love to see you, we will be set up at booth 606.

These are some pictures of what was going on last week. Andrew, Brooke, and I finished embossing and prepared the shipping of Everyday in God's Word devotional. While that was going on, Wendy was loading the audio Cartridges for the National Library Service player with the audio recordings that are done by our volunteer readers. If you would be interested in donate just a little bit of your time to record Audio materials, this would greatly help ICBM's Audio ministry. Please reach out to us if you are interested.

This article gives an accurate description the uphill battle the visually impaired community faces in Liberia, Africa. We have been working directly with the Grand Bassa School for the blind and the Christian Association of the blind to attempt to better these circumstances. These two locations are in the city of Buchannon in Grand Bassa County of Liberia, Africa. Please take a few moments to read the article. Thank you for your prayers and support that allows us to make a difference for the visually impaired community by sharing the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ with them and provide needs for schooling, education, and more. Please prayerfully consider support ICBM for these purposes. Thank you.

We are blessed to have our two main embossers that were broken down, up and running again, as well as the dust cleaned off of the Juliet Pro 120. It is a little bit slower, but it still works. The repairs to the Index fanfold ended up costing a little more than 5,000 dollars. If you are willing and able, I would ask your prayer and consideration to help mitigate this unexpected repair that needed to happen for our braille production to continue. Thank you for your prayer and consideration.

We received the Index fanfold yesterday from the manufacturer and immediately put it to work. We are currently embossing the daily Devotional "Everyday in God's Word" for the months of September through December. This will be mailed out next week for our readers to receive before September starts. This daily devotional is important for our audience in assisting them to get into God's scripture everyday.

Thank you for your support in prayer and helping us get the embossers fixed and working again. Thank you God for the work you establish for our hands.

Psalm 90:17
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.

It has been a wonderful summer of connection and outreach! In July, we attended the National Federation of the Blind convention, followed by the National Church Conference of the Blind in early August. These events allowed us to meet wonderful people, share the Gospel, hear inspiring testimonies, and welcome new subscribers to our mailing list.

An Urgent Need for Our Ministry

During the July convention, an attendee noticed that the Braille on one of our book covers was unreadable. Upon returning home, we inspected our equipment and discovered that both of our primary Braille embossers were malfunctioning and producing errors.

Here is where our equipment currently stands:

Index Fanfold Embosser (5–6 years old): After replacing several parts, we had to ship it back to the manufacturer for extensive repairs. It is still away for servicing.

Braille Express 150 (25 years old): The manufacturer no longer supports, repairs, or makes parts for this legacy model. I took the initiative to repair it myself by bypassing a faulty solenoid. It is working for now, but given its age, it is a temporary fix.

Because these two machines handle all of our printings and mailings, being without them has created a significant hurdle for our ministry over the past month.

How You Can Help

This experience highlighted our need to upgrade and expand our equipment so we can continue serving without interruption. We are actively researching new embossers and invite our community to support us in the following ways:

Prayer: Pray for God’s wisdom and direction as we make key decisions for ICBM.

Grant Leads: Share any grant opportunities or foundations that might fund equipment for a ministry like ours.

Financial Support: Consider donating to help fund our new embosser initiative.

Equipment Advice: Reach out if you or someone you know has recommendations or expertise regarding reliable Braille embossers.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we trust God to guide our path forward!

On Tuesday this week, ICBM was blessed to have a team from Pathways Church come to our office. They were such a blessing to the work at ICBM and helping with projects that keep ICBM moving forward to reach the blind community with God's scripture and the Gospel of Jesus. Thank you so much!!!
