Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Bibles for Peoples is an organization that uses innovation to equip the world for good with bible distribution and translation.

Bibles 4 Peoples is a non-profit organization bringing the bible into the heart language of people domestically and internationally. Aside from providing bibles to people who are in need domestically, bibles 4 peoples also provides bibles in developing and unreached Christian communities around the world. Bibles 4 Peoples hopes to inspire others to give and support the giving of the bible to others who are not as fortunate to have their own copy of the bible. A separate private group of supporters funds operational costs, allowing bibles 4 peoples to use general donations to fund bible projects. Donations are used to print, purchase, ship, and distribute the bibles to Christian communities and organizations. When the bible projects are complete, we try and always provide photos, videos and information about the community served.

IRS990/Desc0The operations of all programs and services both national and international are taken care of in our headquarters. Anyone is welcome to come to the Bibles 4 Peoples HQ and receive a great quality and personalized bible for free. The bibles are for the individual that comes in. All bibles are brand new and are beautiful. We work with local organizations that hold Christian retreats and provide bibles that are in an up to date english translation and of great quality. The bibles are personalized by imprinting the retreat/retreat attendee's information on the cover to add a personal touch. Bibles 4 Peoples believes the bible changes everything and that the daily reading of the bible is beneficial to all. We printed an out of print text of "The One year Study Bible", to provide free of charge to those in need. Bibles 4 Peoples also offers tours on the state of missions around the world and hosts missionaries that we support with bibles for informative gatherings and events at our HQ.

IRS990/MissionDesc0Bibles 4 Peoples is a non-profit organization bringing the bible into the heart language of people domestically and internationally. Aside from providing bibles to people who are in need domestically, bibles 4 peoples also provides bibles in developing and unreached Christian communities around the world. Bibles 4 Peoples hopes to inspire others to give and support the giving of the bible to others who are not as fortunate to have their own copy of the bible. A separate private group of supporters funds operational costs, allowing bibles 4 peoples to use general donations to fund bible projects. Donations are used to print, purchase, ship, and distribute the bibles to Christian communities and organizations. When the bible projects are complete, we try and always provide photos, videos and information about the community served.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Bible Distribution is the core of who we are. This year one of the bigger projects we pursued was in The Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC ranks 176 out of 189 for the HDI (human development index). The basic necessities of life are often hard to come by in the DRC. Bibles 4 Peoples partnered with local church planters and leaders to provide and distribute over 4,500 bibles in the local language to Christians in need and provided more than 20 local churches with bibles. Bibles 4 Peoples also started the planning of a seminar which would take place the following year with a partner church to help the locals understand the importance of the bible. The bibles had to be shipped from a printer in western Europe and be cleared through customs in the DRC, as well as transported from the port to a distant city near the project to store the bibles until they were to be distributed.
