Key accomplishments included: 1 Digitalization of the KJ3 Literal Translation with completed audio recordings of Genesis through Numbers; 2 Creation of educational tools including chapter quizzes memory games and the "Animals of the Bible" series for children; 3 Development of a searchable Scripture index covering 50 biblical categories. These digital resources served approximately 12,000 unique users across diverse denominations providing free access to comprehensive Bible study materials with emphasis on original Hebrew Aramaic and Greek linguistic context.

Conducted 52 weekly Sunday Question & Answer sessions with average attendance of 45-60 participants per session focusing on the unity of Scripture through Hebrew and Greek linguistic insights. Produced and distributed the Light for Your Path devotional series addressing common human experiences like anxiety and loss through scriptural solutions. This program benefited individuals seeking deeper biblical understanding with particular emphasis on helping listeners connect Scripture to practical life situations and spiritual growth. | $0 | $18,425 |
| Biblical Publications and Educational Content: Published regular editions of INSIGHT Magazine exploring diverse topics through a biblical lens and The BEACON Journal highlighting the richness of the original biblical languages. Content included analyses of terms like "Son of Man," ancient Hebrew roots and the symbolic significance of Hebrew letters. Created Bible-inspired music through collaborations with independent artists making Scripture more accessible and memorable for listeners. Total distribution reached approximately 3,500 individuals through electronic and limited print copies. This program particularly benefited those interested in deeper linguistic and cultural understanding of Scripture supporting BMIs mission to illuminate biblical texts in their original context. | $0 | $14,380 |
