Used Bibles Used Mightily !

     Do you have old Bibles lying on your shelf? Dust them off and
 donate them to us. You'll be surprised at how mightily they can work in  many different directions and spread the Word of God.

First Benefit

When you donate a used Bible, it is sold at an affordable cost to Christian leaders and pastors in India , many of whom may not be able to afford a new one. They spend many hours reaching the under developed rural areas where even clean drinking water is a luxury. These used Bibles also benefit believers who deeply desire but don't possess even a single Bible. So, you can be sure that your Bibles will be wonderfully used and treasured.

Second Benefit

The funds generated from your donated Used Bibles and Christian books again help a second time. They are used to provide Bibles in Indian languages reaching the heart of the country.

When you donate:

Two Bibles = 1 regional language Bible

Two Christian books = 1 regional language Bible

One Study Bible = 1 regional language Bible

Third Benefit

Your one time donation again leads to a third time benefit. Funds raised through distribution of regional Bibles go into the various ministries like Church Planting, Vacation Bible Schools and Literacy Programs.

So do open your hearts and donate generously. Below are our requirements:
