Our goal for NBPM is $300,000. This is the amount necessary to purchase paper to print Bibles and New Testaments for the open doors that God has given us.
To meet these Scripture needs, it will take 15 truckloads of paper. With 32 rolls per truck, it is a total of 480 rolls of paper. The average roll of paper weighs 1,300 pounds, so that means we would need over 600,000 pounds of paper. Each truckload of paper costs an estimated $20,000. We are begging God for a miracle! We are asking Him to supply the funds through His people. We are asking Christians all across America to join us on some level, enabling us to purchase the 480 rolls of paper (about $625 per roll) needed to complete these requests.
Everyone can participate in National Bible. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when everyone gets involved at some level. Churches can participate. Materials are available for churches who desire to get their people involved. Sunday school curriculum has been written on an adult level all the way down to a child's level. Poster, bulletin shells, coin folders, and offering envelopes are provided at no cost to help promote your NBPM. Individuals can also participate in NBPM. You could help by giving a one-time love offering of $10, $50, $100, or even $650, enough to buy a roll of paper. Bearing Precious Seed has committed to print the scriptures needed for these open doors but the question is, will you do your part in helping others get God's Word.
The theme for this year's National Bible Publishing Month is "An Open Door". When God opens a door of opportunity for the church to get Scripture into a country, we must be prepared to, by faith, enter that door. There are four major open doors that the Lord has given us; Southern Sudan, Mexico, the Philippines, and Zambia. All four countries are, in themselves, equally amazing and unique opportunities. These doors may not always be open to us, so it is vital that we make this NBPM a priority. The need is great, will you partner with us?
With the typical roll of paper producing 400 Whole Bibles or 1,800 New Testaments, can you imagine what 480 rolls of paper could produce for the cause of Christ?
We have been told that each Scripture distributed in a third-world country will be read by seven people on average.
Every penny raised for National Bible Publishing Month is used to purchase paper to print Bibles and New Testaments. None of the funding is used for promotion, postage, salaries, or even ink; everything goes to buy paper.
Yes! Although a single quarter doesn't seem like much, added together they can make a big dierence. For every coin folder filled with quarters, at least two Bibles or five New Testaments can be printed. That means for every ten quarters received, Bearing Precious Seed can provide a Bible to someone in a Spanish-speaking country who doesn't have a copy of the Bible in their language. That is a difference worth making!
