SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Lord broke me down by bring to my attention that I got saved through a free King James Bible program!! How on earth did I miss that? To say ‘Wow!’ would be a major understatement.

Do you remember back in the end of January when I said that support of the Free Bible Program was so strong, it looked like we might hit 30,000 for the year? And then do you recall about two weeks ago when I said that we were really close to 50,000? As it turns out, as of yesterday, NTEB has paid for 82,500 King James Bibles, New Testaments and scripture portions of Romans and John to be sent out across America and around the world to pastors, preachers, missionaries and evangelists to jails, prisons, foreign fields and to home Bible studies and small groups. Praise the Lord for what He is doing through all of us here, and get ready for what He has for us next. Now let me tell you what happened to me on Tuesday at the Scripture Conference in Tennessee.

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 68:11 (KJB)

This was the second year for me to attend the Scripture Conference put on by Bible Literature and Missionary Foundation, and they had some great men of God there to deliver some strong preaching on the importance of sending out the word of God. I heard some great messages on Monday night, and Tuesday was “all day preaching” which I love. The preacher was up there, firing it “waist high and across the plate”, when God started talking with me.

The Lord reminded me of how I got saved all those years ago, and He asked where I got the Bible from in order to be able to read John 3:16 and get saved. “From my parent’s basement, Lord, in the dark, at a few minutes to midnight”, I replied. Indeed you did, but how did it get there?, He asked. “Lord, you know my dad took it from that hotel room years earlier”, I said. Well, the Lord replied, how did it get into the hotel room? That’s when I felt His Spirit wash over me like a rolling tsunami, as I made the connection for perhaps the first time. I have published the account of how I got saved, read by tens of thousands of people to date, and I have given my testimony probably about a hundred times or more. But it wasn’t until this precise moment, under strong preaching at the scripture conference, that I made the connection. I got saved with a King James Bible that was printed and paid for by the prayers and financial contributions of Christians who had a burden to get God’s word out in these last days. Sound familiar? I got saved through a free Bible program!! How on earth did I miss that? Sometimes you can be so close to something and not even see it, this is such a case. But man, oh, man, were my eyes were wide open now.

As all this washed over me, the Lord bringing these things to my remembrance, tears began to flow in a cleansing, illuminating flood. Like one of those movie montages replaying the events of years in a single, sepia tone minute, I again saw myself praying to get saved back in 1991, just me, the Lord and the King James Bible. I saw when the Lord, in 2018, put on my heart to start the Free Bible Program in my bedroom, 2020 when other people started supporting it, 2021 when we hit over 11,000 Bibles sent out, all the way up to this year when we launched Bibles Behind Bars. I could not get those words out of my head, “I got saved through a free Bible program”, it ripped through me like holy fire. When it was done, I knew what I had to do, and you better believe I was shaking while I did it. You’ll see why in a moment.

I got in my car and drove over to the Bible Barn at BL&MF, and sat down with Karen who runs the front office. With my eyes still wet from fresh tears, I told her what I am telling you now, and that I needed to dramatically step up what NTEB is doing regarding sending out Bibles. When I got up from that conversation, we had not only hit 50,000 Bibles, we blew past it to 82,250, paid for with your prayers, donations and a whole lotta faith to reach that number. “I got saved through a free Bible program!!” We will not only reach 100,000 for 2022, we will likely go past that. Right now we have three orders waiting to be processed, so technically we are at 85,000. All this made possible from your prayers and your generous financial support.

On our upcoming Sunday Service, I am going to share with you all the vision the Lord has given me for next phase of the Free Bible and Gospel Tract Program, where He wants to take it to, and what role all of us will play in bringing that about. Can you imagine NTEB giving out one million King James Bibles, New Testaments and scripture portions? If not, it’s time to increase your faith…TO THE FIGHT!!!

The Minnesota Correction Facility At Stillwater In Bayport Minnesota Becomes The Latest Detention Center To Reach Out To Bibles Behind Bars

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Built in 1914, the MCF-Stillwater is the state’s largest close-security institution for adult males. The facility has seven living units inside and also has a minimum-security unit outside the main perimeter.

The role of MCF-Stillwater in the DOC is to provide men with educational, vocational and industrial programming opportunities during incarceration. Educational programs include adult basic education, literacy, and general educational development (GED). Vocational programs include carpentry, welding, machining, boiler operation, and electrician. Stillwater also provides transitional life skills, behavioral change, and restorative justice programming. Today they reached out to us here at Bibles Behind Bars and asked if we could help them with Bibles.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.” John 17:6 (KJB)

Chaplain Scott Westphal wrote to us earlier today with a short but straight to the point email. He said “We are in need of King James Version bibles. Large print. The guys are asking for them but we do not have any on hand.” He is the chaplain over at MCF-Stillwater, and sending Bibles to his facility will be the first open door the Lord has given us in the state of Minnesota. MCF-Stillwater is home to The Prison Mirror, the nation’s oldest, continuously-operated inmate newspaper. Founded in 1887, The Prison Mirror has won many national awards for outstanding penal journalism. Now they will receive the ‘good news’ of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as found in the pages of the King James Bible.

Bibles Behind Bars exists because of the prayers and support of God’s people here at Now The End Begins, over 11,000 strong who have donated, with many on a regular ongoing basis. It seems that the more doors the Lord opens for us to get His word out, the more doors that continue to open. If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us send Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions and gospel tracts to MCF-Stillwater, and dozens of other places just like it. They need our help, and we need your help to keep the end times supply lines open. To date, nearly 500 persons that we know of have gotten saved in connection with the efforts of Bibles Behind Bars, and that very much motivates me to stay in the the fight. Join with us, we need you.

Thank you so very much…TO THE FIGHT!!!

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

If you believe in sending out Bibles to inmates, keeping the supply line open for chaplains, pastors and personal workers to have what they need when they minister in the jails, then come help us. We need you!

Yesterday, NTEB’ers Dana and Mike Bragdon delivered hundreds of King James Bibles in English and Spanish, as well as boxes of gospel literature and scripture portions to the Floyd County Jail in Rome, Georgia. They were gratefully received by Chaplain David Thornton with open arms. This was the first Bibles Behind Bars delivery made through the brand-new NTEB North Georgia Bible Distribution Center, and we’ll tell you more about that in future articles. Thanks to your prayers and support, this Bible sending outreach continues to grow and expand. Praise the Lord!

“He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.” Psalm 147:15 (KJB)

Right now, we are working on suppling a record 10 jails and detention facilities with a full-spectrum assortment of King James Bibles, Spanish Bibles, scripture portions and gospel tracts, all at the same time. NTEB’er Charlton Head, who you remember from the NTEB Relief Convoy to Asheville, North Carolina, is organizing the situation on the ground up in Georgia, along with Mike and Dana, and Cindy and Steve Britt. We are also working directly with Humberto Gomez, translator of the Reina-Valera Gomez Bible, to expand our supply of Spanish Bibles and tracts.

All of this only exists because of your prayers and generous financial support. God has opened the door for us to send out Bibles on a scale I honestly never imagined would be possible, and it is up to each and every one of us to be faithful stewards of this ministry. If you believe in sending out Bibles to inmates, keeping the supply line open for chaplains, pastors and personal workers to have what they need when they minister in the jails, then come help us. If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button, and send us a gift for this work. We still need to raise about $10,000 for this campaign. If you wish to send a year-end gift and need a 501 C3 Letter of Donation for tax purposes, you can send a check to NTEB Ministries 1340 N Great Neck Rd. Ste. 1272-129 Virginia Beach, VA 23454.

Bibles Behind Bars Has Been Asked To Help Rebuild The Inmate Reading Library At The Jefferson County Jail In Wisconsin, And The Books Are On Their Way

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

By the first quarter of 2025, Lord willing, we should hit the 500,000 mark on our way to one million pieces of gospel literature sent out through this ministry!

Right now we have a record 8 jails and prisons who have reached out to us, asking for our help to stock their ministries with King James Bibles, and we are hard at work to make that happen. One of those places, the Jefferson County Jail in Wisconsin, needs help rebuilding their inmate reading library. Today we shipped out 3 large boxes of a wide variety and assortment of titles we stock here at the Bookstore, books that teach and preach Bible doctrine. What a blessing!

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8 (KJB)

As the Bibles Behind Bars program, now in it’s third year, continues to grow and expand, it is also maturing. Where we once only sent out full King James Bibles, we are now also supplying detention centers with New Testaments, scripture portions, books like “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”, and gospel tracts. By the first quarter of 2025, Lord willing, we should hit the 500,000 mark on our way to one million pieces of gospel literature sent out through this ministry! All made possible through your fervent prayers and steadfast financial support.

In addition to helping to rebuild the Jefferson County Jail inmate library, we are also raising support for the Indian River Correctional Institute, Salem Correctional Center & Jail, Garza West Unit, Dominguez State Jail, Farmington Correctional Center, and the Craven County Sheriff Detention Center. About 2,500 Bibles in all as well as one case each of “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on our online donate link to send us support. We need to raise about $10,000 to send out all these Bibles. If you wish to send a year-end gift and need a 501 C3 Letter of Donation for tax purposes, you can send a check to NTEB Ministries 1340 N Great Neck Rd. Ste. 1272-129 Virginia Beach, VA 23454.
