Christian Leaders Distribution Project
The Christian Leaders Distribution Project is a new endeavor to mail free copies of the New Testament Recovery Version to leaders of Christian groups throughout the U.S. Our hope is that the Recovery Version will become an invaluable resource to these leaders in their study of God’s Word and in their ministry to God’s people.

In May, Bibles for America (BfA) conducted a pilot study in which 3,000 Christian leaders from various denominations nationwide received free copies of the New Testament Recovery Version. We received a number of positive comments from these Bible recipients as a result of this mailing. Over 9,000 free Bibles were mailed to Christian leaders in July. In the coming months, BfA will continue the mailings to Christian leaders.

Spanish Section
Since 2000, BfA has distributed the New Testament Recovery Version in English and Spanish. However, up to this point, all of our Bible-offer brochures and additional Christian literature have been offered only in English. This year, BfA initiated a new department within its office to develop materials for distribution to Spanish-speaking people.

Since April, the Spanish section has been translating brochures and other materials and preparing them for printing. This fall, on a trial basis volunteers will begin distributing literature in Spanish—copies of the Gospel of John from the New Testament Recovery Version, offers for the New Testament Recovery Version, and the books in BfA’s series of free literature. Based on these trials, we plan to develop an effective model for distributing literature to Spanish-speaking people.

Fall Motor Home Tour
BfA’s fall motor home tour is currently in the planning stages; motor home crew members are arranging venues for Bible distribution events. If you are an administrator at a college or university campus or a store manager and would like information regarding the distribution of free copies of the New Testament Recovery Version at your location, please send an e-mail to info@biblesforamerica.org.

Please Remember in Prayer
Please pray for the leaders of Christian groups nationwide who will receive a free New Testament Recovery Version this year. Pray that they would receive the word with all eagerness (Acts 17:11), benefit from reading it, and share it with others.

Pray that the translation into Spanish, editing, and printing of BfA’s Bible-offer brochures and other literature would be completed in a timely way. Pray also for the outreach to Spanish-speaking people in the United States. Pray that many seeking hearts may find God and understand the truth in His Word.
