Biblica North America
While many parts of the world struggle with the availability of God's Word, in North America the issue is quite different. Some estimate U.S. households contain an average of three Bibles each. Yet the Bible is among the least read of all books. It is perceived as irrelevant and outdated, having little impact on daily life. Materialism and moral relativism have far more influence in defining society than God’s Word. In many ways, North America has become a post-Christian society.
At Biblica, our mission in North America is to be a catalyst in re-engaging people in the Word of God in ways that impact both individual lives and communities. By producing Bible resources and biblical content for special audiences, Biblica North America is able to communicate the relevance of God's Word to a vast array of people, including those serving in the military, athletes, disaster victims, the incarcerated, women in crisis pregnancies, and many others.
Biblica North America Projects
U.S. Prison Outreach
Freedom Behind Prison Bars
Jesus ministered to the rejected and reviled, transforming their lives and making them free and whole. In the same spirit, for nearly 200 years Biblica has shared the hope and guidance of God's Word with U.S. prison inmates. Statistics show that prisoners who make a commitment to Christ are less likely to re-offend. In partnership with Prison Fellowship, Biblica-US developed Free on the Inside Bible, which contains notes of encouragement for prisoners and counsel on following Christ, even in a prison cell. Since its creation, more than 1 million inmates have received this much-loved Scripture. This year, in partnership with Prison Fellowship, prison chaplains, and other ministries, Biblica will provide inmates with Free on the Inside Bibles in English or Spanish.
Global Disaster Outreach
Holding Out the Word of Life to Crisis and Disaster Victims
When crises hit, whether manmade—terrorist attacks, warfare, or mass killings—or natural disasters such as famines, earthquakes, or violent storms, victims' emotional pain must be addressed along with their physical needs. Disaster survivors need the comfort of a God who is bigger than their tragedy, and they often are open to putting their faith in Christ. Biblica Scripture resources minister to crisis and disaster survivors and caregivers. These resources include When Your Whole World Changes, a Scripture booklet that has been translated into many languages and that has ministered to tens of thousands. This year, Biblica will provide crisis Scripture resources to affected areas through partner organizations such as The Salvation Army and local churches and agencies.
