"What better gift could we send our Troops? For a believer it can be encouragement and strength; for an unbeliever, it may be the very thing that leads him to Christ."
- American Family Association president Tim Wildmon
Churches, groups, and individuals please join us as we place God's Word into the hands of US Troopers across the globe.
The objective of Light the World is to provide the Military Edition of the Gospel of John or the New Testament in a new synthetic weatherproof Bible format called THE OUTDOOR BIBLE® to US military Chaplains for distribution to Troopers. Troops, stationed in some of the most remote locations in the world, often face harsh environmental conditions (water, sand, dirt, sweat, etc.). THE OUTDOOR BIBLE®, is not only able to withstand extreme conditions, but it is also lightweight and highly portable.
Here is what Chaplains are telling us:
• Our troop "operates from both land and sea in arduous conditions that would stress an ordinary paperback Bible." - US Navy Chaplain
• "This Bible is perfect for the Infantry as much as they are out in the rain and mud." - US Army Chaplain
• "I am in a pretty bad part of Baghdad and would love to be able to distribute to soldiers as they go out on mission." - Chaplain
Here is what the wife of one of our Troopers had to say:
"WOW! I'm so excited about THE OUTDOOR BIBLE. He's being deployed to Iraq next year and he needed a new "sword" that could stand up to some pretty major wear and tear. It might even be something that he passes off to another Soldier when he comes home. What a blessing this will be! I know that it will make a huge difference for my husband while he's away!"
- Sarah from Alabama
Why should you partner in Light of the World? Our Troopers have physical combat gear - this is spiritual combat gear! You will notice from the Project Progress image above that Chaplains have expressed great need for these resources and that we are long ways off from fulfilling their need. Our military Chaplains need your help.
What is the timeline? We have a backlog of requests from Chaplains. Some of these Chaplains are soon to be deployed with their Troopers, so the need is both constant and urgent at the same time.
How can you partner in Light of the World? It's easy! Bardin & Marsee Publishing will provide the military edition of the Gospel of John or the New Testament at an extremely reduced rate and will provide free shipping to our Troopers from our location.
