Misson Statement

The mission of Bibles Through Walls is simple: no boundary will stop the Word of God. But it goes so much deeper than that. We send Bibles all over the U.S. to federal and state prisons, juvenile detention centers, psychiatric institutions, senior livings, homeless outreach teams, homeless shelters, veterans, street outreach programs, and so many more. We get requests from all kinds of organizations, big and small, and every single one matters to us.

We are a mission built by God’s guidance. The Word isn’t just a book, it’s not just words on a page — it’s a way of life, it’s the truth, it’s the path. And we want to make sure every hand with a want, or even hands with no knowledge of it at all, at least get the chance to open it once, look at it, hold it, and start to understand what Jesus sacrificed for them.

Bibles Through Walls was started by Chris Banks, a 15-year-old entrepreneur who first created Center of Love Ministries. Bibles Through Walls was born as a sub-program of COL Ministries, but Chris realized fast that this wasn’t just an idea — it was a calling. So he pushed with everything he had, every last bit of time, to build it and grow it into the mission God showed him.

Our goal is to get warehouses, increase the number of people we serve, pray for more organizations, and create a stronger understanding of what our mission is and why it matters. We want to open doors for organizations that need Bibles but never thought they would ever have that option.

A core of everything we do is the “NO REJECTION RULE.” We always work to make every request possible, but our heart is this: we never want to reject an organization we know truly needs Bibles. We never want to turn away a person who says they don’t have one. If someone needs a Bible, they will be provided one — no questions asked. God’s Word belongs in every hand in America and every hand globally.

This is our mission. This is our call. And nothing will stop the Word of God from reaching the people who need it the most.
