One Family’s Experience

We chose to partner with Bible League because they have a wide spectrum of activities that lead to the making of new disciples: Bible translation into a language that is understandable to every person, training of local believers to lead Bible studies using those Scriptures in order to bring people to Christ, and equipping local churches with the materials they need to effectively spread the Good News. We believe that Bible League has the right approach to evangelism and is doing a fine job of it, and we are delighted to be partners in that process.

Dr. J. Kirk and Janet Gulledge

“I grew up in a coal mining town. When you leave a coal mining town, you don’t leave with much. But God has been faithful, and He’s taken care of me. I started paying tithes when I was young. I was never out of a job. Sometimes I had three jobs. “I was listening to American Family Radio and heard about Bible League International. I knew people needed Bibles, so that’s how I got into giving Bibles. “I’m not a minister or a preacher, but this is one way to preach the Gospel. I promised God that as long as I was on this earth, I would build a church once a year. I wanted to prolong my giving, so I made a beneficiary designation. “I’m glad that God supplied the money. God calls and God provides. I have given, and God has always given back.”

Clair Kore

[Jesus said,] “Give to others, and you will receive. You will be given much. It will be poured into your hands—more than you can hold. You will be given so much that it will spill into your lap. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you.” Luke 6:38 ERV
