Bible Believers Fellowship, Inc.
Mission
We are not a church but a nationwide, nondenominational, nonprofit Christian prison ministry reaching convicts throughout the United States with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We take the Bible literally as what it is, the inspired Word of God. It is our firm belief that even the most hardened of criminals can be touched and changed forever by the power and love of our Lord and Savior. Most inmates will one day be released back into society. Without a change of heart (which only Jesus can provide), they will probably commit crimes again. Please help us to provide them with God's Word, their only hope for change.

Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Prison Ministry
We provide prison chaplains with free English and Spanish Christian literature (Bibles, New Testaments, Bible study books, small Bible booklets, tracts, role model books, back issues of "The Good News Letter" newsletters, post cards, tray cards) and videos that will assist them in reaching prisoners with the Holy Word of God. We also provide counseling and encouragement to those who want to turn from their past and live for Jesus. Our Christian materials and counseling assist 60 correctional facilities and youth centers nationwide in 19 states. We constantly receive letters from chaplains saying how much our services have helped them to minister to inmates. Inmates contact us to ask for prayer or Christian material and also to let us know how much they appreciate the job we are doing in preaching the Gospel to the incarcerated. For the general public, we provide our newsletters, Christian ebooks, and prayer requests. Because of the World Wide Web, we are now able to expand and reach out to people throughout the world.
International Prayer
Life is hard right now! Most people are suffering, and everyone has a prayer request! So, if you love Christ, and would like others to pray for you, we have prepared a web page. However we will only post legitimate requests.
