2022

Our hearts are full of thanks to the Lord for all He has done through Bibles for America (BfA) this year. With the generous support of our donors, we reached a wonderful milestone: in August, we gave away our 2 millionth Bible. Our prayer is that every person who has received a Bible over the past 22 years would be fed and nourished by the Word of God.

I have received the Bible and I greatly enjoy the great amount of detail for almost every verse. Thank you very much and I appreciate your help in getting me better acquainted with the New Testament. —Tom, Columbus, OH

Share our free offer

By the Lord's mercy, we've been able to give away more Bibles this year than ever before. The increase in demand for the Word of God shows the persistent hunger in people for finding the meaning of life and their purpose on earth.

Since we reached the 2 million mark, we are now working toward our next goal of giving away an additional 2 million Bibles in the next 10 years. We continue to make improvements both to the packaging process and the ordering process to help reach this next milestone.

In November, some significant updates were made to our Bible order form on our website. These updates have made it easier for people to place their order and will improve the customer experience, increasing the overall number of Bible orders.

I received my Bible in the mail and I am blown away. It is so much more than I expected and everything I could have hoped for. —Misty, Jacksonville, FL

Giving Away Books

37,400 books given away

154,000 e-books downloaded

Since April of this year, we've been giving away the Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vols. 1-3 to US residents. This book set covers essential matters in God’s Word every believer should know and helps readers experience the Lord Jesus in a personal way. So far, we've given away nearly 12,000 sets.

In addition to the physical book offer, 7 titles are available to download for free on our site. These e-books are available to anyone with an internet connection and have been downloaded by people from all over the world.

This little book has taught me more in 2 days than any other booklets I've read in two and a half years. Thank you so much. I'm on volume 3. Wonderful little books they are. —Teri, Wenatchee, WA

Distribution Center

We moved into our new distribution center in Anaheim, California at the beginning of 2020. Each week, BfA staff members and volunteers gather here to prepare copies of the New Testament Recovery Version to be sent to people all over the United States.

For the first time, we were able to host tours of our facility this year. Visitors have been able to see how we assemble and package the Bibles and hear about our mission. We hope these tours will help our supporters engage further with our mission, and look forward to conducting more in the future.

Digital Resources

5.1 million video views

1.8 million blog pageviews

This year, people continue to receive help from our digital resources, including our e-books, blog posts, and videos.

In 2022, 1.4 million people visited the BfA Blog from all over the world, reading blog posts in English and Spanish. We pray that all the blog visitors would find answers to their questions, be nourished with God's Word, and continue to grow in the divine life of God.

We also are committed to developing more video content on the gospel and the Christian experience. To support that, we are working toward establishing a permanent video production studio next to the BfA office.

This year, we released a new animated video called The Bible's Secret for Dealing with Anxiety. This video focuses on verses from Philippians 4 that tell us the Lord is near, and how we can be filled with the peace of God. You can watch this video below. All our videos are available to watch and share on our YouTube channel.

Pray

in oneness with our Savior God, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth. Specifically, please pray that:
