Dear Friend,
We are halfway through our May College Bible campaign, which aims to raise $200,000 so we can send 8,000 free Bibles to college campuses all over the country.
Gary S., a contributor to this initiative, told us: |
“I was one who grew up in the surroundings of a Catholic education, only later to embark on a 50-year departure from the Church. I witnessed the pressures that can test one’s faith. This contribution should allow 10 copies to accompany young Catholics during some of the most challenging years ahead of them. Blessings.” |
We also heard from Kevin T. with this amazing story: |
“I was on a plane this week, and after finishing reading the Liturgy of the Hours’ Evening Prayer and making the sign of the cross, the gentleman next to me, having noticed my making the sign of the cross, struck up a conversation. We were both strong practicing Catholics happy to share our stories, and we both carry rosaries with us always. He is the Catholic director at the Newman Center at the University of Cincinnati. We talked about the state of the younger generation and our hope for this next generation and a revival of the Catholic faith. He mentioned some of his students have never had a Bible before in their lives and so they were able to give out ‘The Word on Fire Bible’ to them. I shared that my wife and I donated to that campaign, as it really resonated with me for college students to find Christ again—and no better way than through the Bible. I read every day from ‘The Word on Fire Bible’ series. Sharing this moved me and so I just made another $500 donation to get more Bibles in college students’ hands!” |
Will you make a gift today and help us reach our goal? With a gift of $25, we can donate one Word on Fire Bible; with a $125 gift, we can donate five; with a gift of $500, we can donate twenty. Help us spread the living and effective word of God on college campuses across the country. |

Finally, we received this message of gratitude from Fr. Gibbens, a recipient of donated Word on Fire Bibles:
|
“Thank you for this incredibly generous gift. ‘The Word on Fire Bible’ is a treasure to share with our students. Our students are truly becoming the spiritual leaders on our campus, and these Bibles are becoming daily bread for many of them.”
|
We invite you to consider joining us in this initiative so that college students can receive these wonderful Bibles and enrich their faith—or even discover it for the first time. Please join us in praying for all college students and other young adults who are at a pivotal moment in their relationship with God. Make a gift today.
God bless you,
The Word on Fire Team
