2020

We are so thankful to the Lord for all He has done this year. The difficulties we've passed through have shown us how great mankind's need is for Christ and for His Word.

Despite the ongoing pandemic, we have been able to continue our operations and meet the increasing demand for free Bibles. Thousands of orders keep pouring in across the United States, and this year we've given away 20,000 more Bibles than any other year. In addition, people all over the globe are accessing our blog posts and e-books in ever-growing numbers. All this has been made possible by your prayers and the faithful support of our donors.

Thank you. It is both a blessing and by the grace of God that I got to your website and the generous offer of a free Bible. —Cayne, Tamaqua, PA

Share our free offer

People all over the country have been so grateful to receive the gift of a free Bible, especially as they face such trying circumstances and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Some of the responses we've gotten from recipients have been deeply touching, and have highlighted the fact that people desperately need the true hope and peace that can only be found in the Word of God.

All it took was one time for me to read the New Testament when I was at my emotional worst and it changed my life. Everyone deserves that. The love of Jesus is priceless. I was so shocked when my Recovery Version Bible showed up and I felt someone actually cared. Truly a miracle. —Andy, Lindenhurst, IL

New Distribution Center

We thank the Lord for providing BfA with a new distribution center located in Anaheim, CA. We moved in at the end of February and began making improvements to streamline the Bible-packaging process. We invested in new machinery, including gravity-fed conveyor belts and a high-speed shrink wrap sealer, and organized our equipment and materials. This spacious facility, together with the updated infrastructure, has allowed us to significantly increase productivity and ship out Bibles more efficiently.

You can view a behind-the-scenes video tour of the new distribution center on our YouTube channel.

I want to thank your organization for sending me the New Testament Recovery Version. I really like the outlines and the way it is written. I will enjoy reading God’s Word daily. —Beatrice, Marmora, NJ

Spreading the Gospel with BfA Resources

This year, we launched a page called Share the Good News where we gathered all our digital gospel materials, including tracts, videos, blog posts, and podcast content. This page is designed to help Christians easily share the gospel of Jesus Christ with their friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors.

Each tract presents the gospel of Jesus Christ from a different angle. Earlier this month, we published a new tract How Can I Know God Exists? It is aimed at people who think that God probably exists but have no idea how to contact Him.

Over the last several months, we've also been working to produce more gospel videos. This year, we've already launched 3 new videos titled Jesus, the Real Solution to Our Problem; The Greatest Truth in the Universe; and The Deep Significance of the Birth of Jesus Christ.

We are launching a gospel video campaign at the end of 2020 and plan on releasing new content each week. We will introduce this series by speaking about why we need to preach the gospel and how BfA resources can help, followed by six videos that present the good news.

Our prayer is that these videos and other wonderful gospel resources housed on Share the Good News will be widely shared in order to reach people who are in need of salvation.

Thank you for helping to spread the gospel and the good news of Jesus. —Joseph, Blakeslee, PA
