Give Away Your Bibles
Jun 16th 2008Jeremy MyersMission
I recently packed up my office, all 210 book-feet of them, and in the process, realized I had about 30 Bibles (At least I’m not Bill Chamberlain, who owns over 2000 different English versions). I didn’t need them all, and didn’t want to throw any out, so ended up donating about a dozen to my pastor to give away. I hope he is able to use them, but I imagine that most will just end up collecting dust somewhere.
Today, I found something I wish I had done with them. Michigan-based Christian Resources International will help you send your used Bibles overseas. For only $11, you can send your extra Bible to someone who needs it. Also, Jerry Kingery directs an organization called The Bible Foundation which networks Bible drives for use in missions organizations. Check both out.
Of course, if you are simply interested in distributing new Bibles, we regularly send out Bibles through the Gideons and Bible’s Unbound.
Get the Word out!

Hey dude most of those Bibles are still here in my office, but your wrong about them not going to good use- I already had a two people here that needed Scriptures and your gift really helped them!
If you want to pick up the rest and give them away to one of those organizations feel free. Or you can send Maranda an email asking her to mail them off to that place.
Thanks for being generous with Mosaic. You are a great friend!
Peace,
SWH

Stephen!
You read my blog…Uh-oh. I guess I’ll have to be more careful what I say…No more bashing Mosaic Arlington. Ha ha.
No, I’m glad you are using the Bibles. Keep ‘em.
Thanks for your constant wisdom, support, and encouragement. Thanks also for the steaks tonight. So good.
And you have a blog of your own! You never mentioned anything about it. I like it.
