Dear Loved ones,
We have so much to be grateful for, especially during this time of celebrating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead after a torturous and barbaric death on the cross for our sins. Over the past 9 years we have been fulfilling God’s great commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15) To men and women behind bars, who many of us will never meet face to face on this side of Heaven.
Presently we are training two more engraving teams totaling 6 now, praise God. The inmates often share how much it means to have their names engraved on their Bible’s. Perhaps they have nothing in their possession with their name, and to see it in gold on their Bibles is beyond their comprehension.
With everyone’s help and God’s grace, we’ve been able to increase our shipment going out this next volunteer day to over 360 Bibles, doubled from the last shipment. Thank God we have a good team of dedicated volunteers and God willing we’ll have no problems getting these completed accurately and smoothly on Sat April 22nd, 2023 ***DATE CHANGE from the 15th**from 9 AM-1 PM.
Recently we received a thank you letter from Jonathan that I’d like to share with you…
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ at Revelation Bible Ministry,
I received the Bible that I had requested from your ministry several months ago and had forgotten about. Then, like manna falling from heaven, I was called to R&R to pick up a package in my name. I was baffled at first because I had not ordered a package, but when the Correctional Officer opened it for inspection, the beautiful cover was revealed; and I knew. Even she was impressed and asked, “Who do you know to get such a fancy Bible?” I told her matter-of-factly, “I know Jesus Christ.” She merely smiled and handed me my Bible.
Thank you so much for this gift. It is the most beautiful thing that I have ever owned. And not only is it personalized on the cover, but I marveled at the fact that specific Scripture had been personally ear-marked for my reading. It touched my heart even more beyond the gift of the Bible. I couldn’t help but wonder, who would do such a thing? Then, I saw the picture of all of you, diligently preparing each book. I am 6’3” and 225 pounds of muscle and can walk through a brick wall, but I was brought to my knees and my eyes brought to tears at the sight of God’s children doing their Father’s work. Thank you all, and God bless you. I will see you at the feast.
Your brother in Christ, Jonathan
Currently, I humbly ask for your prayers and financial support, as both are our highest needs. If it’s something you’d like to do, all the information is below. As we are a 501c3 nonprofit organization and you will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your gift that will be sent out once a year in January for the previous year.
If you’d like to help during the volunteer days, our next one is God willing. Breakfast, coffee, beverages, and snacks are provided. After April, our next volunteer days are scheduled for: June 17th, August 19th, Oct 21st, and Dec 16th, (every other month on the 3rd Saturday). Hope to see you then!
Thank you for all your support, and may we honor Jesus today for His extraordinary sacrifice and love,
Revelation Bible Ministry
