Bibles 4 Children

01/25/2026

Today we lost my friend, mentor, and ministry partner. Larry Bennett was the Vice President of Bibles-4-Children. The three men in this photo (L-R) me, Larry, and Roscoe Brewer started this ministry together.

Both Larry and Roscoe are now with the Lord. Our passion was to provide Bibles and Gospel literature to the unreached and to help facilitate church planting. We worked extensively in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran in those early days. Over 1 million Bibles and Bible storybooks have been distributed in this region.

Larry, you will be greatly missed!

Just sent 200 “Lion Project” units to West Africa

01/12/2026

We just sent 200 “Lion Project” units to kids in west Africa. These cuddly stuffed animals contain a solar-powered MP3 player that has a full version of the Bible, Bible stories, and music in their language. Pray for these children and their families that God’s Word will be received and bring hope and salvation.

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,” ~Matthew 28:18

It’s overwhelming to think that nearly 3 billion people remain unreached by the transforming message of Gospel. These unreached people groups reside in distant corners of the globe and are often marginalized and isolated from the resources and opportunities available to many of us. Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations (all ethnic groups) obviously includes the unreached.

By “unreached” I don’t just mean the “unsaved.” I mean ethnic groups living in areas of the world where less than 2% of the population are believers in Christ and where there is no active and reproducing church capable of reaching its own people. Some people groups have no known believers whatsoever!

Jesus told us to pray for more laborers in His harvest. That doesn’t always mean more missionaries. What it does mean, however, is more of His church playing an active role in the Great Commission through prayer, giving, going, sending, and serving. Ask yourself this question, “What are you doing specifically, to engage in the harvest and to help finish the task Jesus gave to us?”

The Great Commission leaves us no option — we must focus our discipleship efforts on the unreached in order to make a tangible impact in bridging the gap to these marginalized groups.

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” ~Proverbs 16:9

One of my favorite places to shop is the Home Depot. It’s a DIY paradise! Their current theme is “How doers get more done.” I kinda think of myself as a doer. But if you’re like me, I often find myself biting off more than I can chew. What I thought would be a 3-day project ended up being three weeks and costing much more than my budget.

An ancient Chinese proverb says, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Queen Elizabeth II said, “It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.” The truth is, those small, incremental steps, over time, often make a huge difference.

I am reminded of Psalm 119:105. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

God’s word gives us just enough light each day to only see the next step. And it’s in that step-by-step process where we are transformed into the image of Christ (Romans 12:2).

Unfortunately, there are literally millions of people who have never been exposed to the Word of God. Of the over 7,000 spoken languages in the world, only 700 have a complete Bible in their language; 1,622 have the New Testament; and another 1,255 have only portions of the Bible. That leaves over 3,750 languages without any portion of God’s Word — not even one verse.

Here’s my “Home Depot” advice — let’s keep following God’s Word and doing the right things — little-by-little, step-by-step — with our families, at our jobs, in our communities, and even in our leisure. And let’s “get things done” by doing what we can to provide the Scriptures to those who have never had it. It is our responsibility to share Gods’ Word so that the “nations” can join us on our journey of faith.

Over time, we’ll see significant change. We’ll be much better people and every tribe, nation, and language will have an opportunity to be transformed by the truth of the Gospel.

While your kids are making a craft… they can also be making a difference!

Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, and other Children’s Ministry crafts are a fun and hands-on way to support biblical truth. It’s a great way to help kids learn and remember Bible stories and Spiritual lessons. Unfortunately, after a few days hanging on the refrigerator, many of those drawings and crafts will likely end up in the trash.

Here’s the sad reality — Over 4 billion people (50% of the world’s population) will be born and live their entire lives without ever hearing the Gospel message of salvation.

By giving to Bibles-4-Children, your kids will provide the Word of God to a child who would otherwise never hear the Gospel.

Making a craft is fun, but temporary. Providing the Word of God is meaningful and will last forever.

Give your kids an opportunity that will never end up in the garbage? Help them do something that will last for an eternity.

Just remember, the Holy Spirit is just as big in a 9-year-old as He is in a 59-year-old!
