Bible League International: Transforming Lives Through God’s Word
(Word Count: 804 words )
The world is filled with various cultures, beliefs, and practices. However, the
people that share the same traditions and even religious beliefs are composed into
one organization. Different religious organizations worldwide implement different
rules and regulations, which their members follow. These organizations also share
the same goal: introducing Jesus Christ and teaching about faith and Christ’s life
(Campbellsville, n.d.). Not only that, but the organization also helps needy individuals
by donating the money or fund they have collected, which can be seen in different
educational facilities like schools that are under religious organizations, charity works
hosted by priests or pastors, and free religious counseling for everyone.
Furthermore, this paper will look at the background, accomplishments, and plans of
the religious organization that is non-profit but has a goal to spread the Words of
God around the world, known as the Bible League International. They believe
everyone who wants or needs a bible can have it as efficiently as possible. As an
evangelical Christian service organization, they coordinate with the local churches
worldwide to supply them with bibles to help them spread and meet Jesus. They also
offer training in discipleship, church planting, relational evangelism, and Bible-based
literacy in collaboration with local churches.
The Bible League International was founded in 1938 by Bill and Betty
Chapman. This international organization works for poorly developed churches by
providing them with bibles and practical training to help improve lives worldwide
through God’s words. The organization's faith aligns with the statement of faith by
the National Association of Evangelicals. The organization has distributed countless
1
Bibles worldwide through its various programs, products, and partners, particularly
the local church. The Bible League International has allocated billions of Bibles since
it was established in 1938, reaching individuals in more than 80 nations. Today, this
religious institution provides those in need of salvation with the encouragement of
God's Word, Bibles, and training materials based on the Bible. Since the Chapmans'
straightforward act of faith, Bible League International has devotedly distributed
God's Word worldwide. This organization envisions thriving churches all over the
globe, with hopes to spread spiritualism and optimistic hope for society.
The Bible League International was started by William Chapman, a
businessman from the Chicago region. In 1938, William Chapman and his wife, Betty
Chapman, traveled through the neighborhood of Walkerton, Indiana, giving away
free Bibles to anyone who would read them after they had purchased 1,000 Bibles.
After many years have passed, to explore new approaches to helping churches and
mission partners, Bible League International maintains offices and centers worldwide
that provide biblical resources in various languages. Furthermore, James Van
Drunen, a CRC (Christian Reformed Church) member and chair of the international
board, got involved with the Bible league not long after Chapman founded it. Several
CRC pastors played a significant role in the organization's early years. Additionally,
the CRC has significantly benefited from and supported the organization over the
years.
The work of the Bible League International is not only founded by CRC
churches but also by other movements or churches around the world and by
Christian individuals. Moreover, the organization is currently collaborating with
religious groups such as Samaritan’s Purse, Compassion International, and World
2
Vision to share accessible scriptures with even more people (Christian Reformed
Church, 2013). Since 1938, More than 840 million Bibles and other biblical resources
have been distributed worldwide by Bible League. In addition, more than 3.5 million
people have been educated to share God's Word, over 3.5 million people have been
reached with God's Word, and more than 67,000 churches have been established.
Bible League International provides Bibles and training to the under-resourced
church so that God's Word might change lives worldwide. Through biblical-related
training and materials that address their communities' social, moral, and spiritual
needs, the organization wants to see thriving local churches worldwide, bringing
salvation, life transformation, and hope. In collaboration with and as a ministry to
local churches, the Bible League International achieves this goal by providing hands-
on training in discipleship, church planting, relational evangelism, and Bible-based
literacy.
Having been founded in 1938, the Bible League International has been
through a lot and has persevered through the challenges over the years. Having
been one of the largest producers and distributors of Biblical Resources worldwide,
the organization has been consistent with helping people over the world and
establishing new churches while helping other less fortunate churches. As time goes
on, the organization’s mission and vision for the future remain. The Bible League
International aims to continue serving many under-resourced Churches and provide
them with Bibles, biblical-related resources, and spiritual training to transform and
influence lives globally through God’s word. Lastly, they also desire to continue
establishing churches and providing aid to less fortunate churches, offering world
hope, life change, and salvation through biblically based training that meets the
specific needs of their communities.
