WHAT WE DO

We are a God-led mission with one mission: No human without the Word. Starting in the United States, we spread Bibles to jails, shelters, street outreach, hospitals, military communities, group homes, and beyond. This mission was started by Chris Banks when God placed it on his heart, and in the first week alone over 100 Bibles were donated as God continues to lead this work. We provide opportunities to recycle Bibles, supply the Word to those in need, and teach the Gospel with love, patience, and truth, ensuring that unusable Bibles are never thrown away but instead sent to craft and education partners. Scripture teaches in Genesis that every person is created in the image of God, and in Matthew 7:1–2 we are reminded not to judge, because every human deserves access to the Word. This mission takes time, education, patience, and a caring team fully trusting in the Lord as we reach lives that once avoided Him and bring the Word to every human, without exception.

Why This Matters

Millions of people are trapped behind walls in prisons, jails, hospitals, or struggling to survive on the streets, and most do not have access to God’s Word. In the United States alone, over 1.25 million people are held in state or federal prisons, more than 660,000 are in local jails, and over 770,000 people experience homelessness. These are not just statistics or numbers on a page—they are real lives, people often forgotten by society, people searching for hope, and people created in the image of God who deserve access to His Word.

Bringing God’s Word Into Their Hands

We collect and deliver Bibles to prisons, hospitals, shelters, and outreach programs, ensuring that every Bible shared is chosen to bring hope, encouragement, and guidance. Through trusted partnerships with organizations on the ground, we make sure God’s Word reaches people who truly need it, including those who may have never owned or read a Bible before.

What Makes Us Different

There are many organizations that supply Bibles, and we honor the work of groups such as The Gideons, God Behind Bars, and others. What makes us different is the broad calling God has placed on this mission. We are not limited to serving one specific group or setting; as we grow, we serve wherever the need exists. We provide Bibles upon request through a waitlist system, and through prayerful, biblical development we continue to grow, improve, and expand our reach so that the Gospel can be shared with every group God opens the door to.
