Feeding the Hungry Hearts with God’s Word
Since BfA first began in 2000, we have given away more than 2.3 million copies of the New Testament Recovery Version and reached over 75% of all US zip codes with God’s Word. Over 20 years later, our burden to meet the need of His seekers in this country remains fresh and strong. We’re currently working to give away 2 million more Bibles by 2032, which means an average of 200,000 Bibles each year.
Your support enables us to purchase the Bibles we need to keep up with the widespread hunger for the Word of God. On top of the 149,000 New Testaments we've already received this year, just this week we received a further shipment of 100,000 Bibles. One final shipment for 2024 of 100,000 Bibles is expected to arrive in November. With these two shipments, $100,000 is due on each delivery, for a total of $200,000.
Now more than ever, we need your timely contributions to cover the cost of the large shipments of Bibles necessary to meet the demand. Thank you to all our donors who have already responded to help us place and receive these Bible orders.
“Thank you! I love this Bible so much and understand God’s Word so much with the footnotes.”

New Book Offer: The Knowledge of Life
BfA will soon begin giving away a new free physical book title to US residents. Since April 2022, we have mailed out more than 38,000 sets of Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vols. 1-3. This fall, we will begin offering The Knowledge of Life by Witness Lee. After working through some shipping challenges with the USPS, we are thankful that the Lord has opened the way for this important book to be made available to the public free of charge. The Knowledge of Life is based on messages spoken by Witness Lee in 1953 and focuses on God’s life as the key to the Christian experience and the carrying out of His heart’s desire. We pray many hungry seekers of God will order this book, and that it will help them grow in the divine life.
