"BibleSticks are More Popular than Candy and Chocolate"

For the military members serving our country on land, in the skies, and on the seas, God's Word in audio is meeting them where they are. As a Chaplain's Assistant shared, "The military BibleSticks are wonderful—a Bible gets wet, rips, tears, and gets dirty—but these are tough. These can go anywhere we go. They are small and portable and easy to travel with."

From the Army, to the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marines, military members hungry for God are having the opportunity to hear His Word.

Here are just a few of their testimonies:

"Thank you so much for your ministry. The BibleSticks that you provided are by far the most popular items that I have offered for free to people here (even more popular then candy, chocolate, and other comforts from home)! I let everyone know that I had them for those who wanted them. The overwhelming response was wonderfully surprising! I saw many who never show up to chapel or even talk about God come by my office and ask for one of the Audio Bibles.

I am deployed to a forward headquarters. I sent many of the Audio Bibles you sent me to chaplain's remote locations in Afghanistan and Iraq. These were greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! May God richly bless you!"

"Thank you again for the Military BibleStick. They went like hotcakes on a recent deployment line. Several of our deploying airmen were surprised that something like this was free, and all were very appreciative. I heard comments like, ‘This is cool!' ‘Awesome!' ‘I'll use it while doing PT (physical training).' The Chaplain station was the most popular stop on the deployment line. I had to have another chaplain bring me more from the chapel as we ran out on the line. Thank you again for helping us get God's Word into the hands of our deploying airmen."
- Chaplain S.N., U.S. Air Force

"Thank you for the BibleSticks. The troops really like them, I can't seem to hold on to them very long. Many blessings."
- Chaplain C.I., U.S. Air Force

"I recently received 25 BibleSticks. I announced your program to my soldiers, and all 25 BibleSticks were gone within an hour. I continue to receive many requests for them. Several soldiers mentioned that they do not have a current church/faith group and are interested in learning more about the Christian faith. What better way to help them learn than to let them hear the Good News! I will be caring for approximately 5,000 soldiers when we arrive in Afghanistan. My soldiers look forward to listening through the New Testament during down time in their training and during the long flights overseas. Thanks!"
- Chaplain J.M., U.S. Army

"Thank you for these. Our guys are really enjoying them and they are flying off the shelves. We really appreciate your ministry."
- Chaplain M.W. – Cavalry, U.S. Army

"As Chaplain of the largest chapel on board the largest base in Iraq—there are nearly 20,000 of us here—thank you for the Faith Comes By Hearing BibleSticks! These are the most asked-for items we give away here at the Chapel. Blessings to you and all the folks who make this ministry possible."
- Chaplain P., U.S. Army

"My unit's mission is to manage the whole camp here in Kuwait and also support incoming soldiers to go back home to the States. There are many soldiers going home with some issues with the family, life itself, and many other aspects of life. We would like to minister to them through the BibleStick. We hope and pray that through this they can know God and have their issues in life be resolved through the power of our Lord God Almighty."
- Chaplain J.O., National Guard

"The Military BibleStick has been very popular. All of our feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We have given them out to people who deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Our sailors tell us that it is hard to have time out and introspect. Especially living in group situations, it can be hard to read. But people appreciate the BibleStick because it gives them time to sit and focus on God's Word."
- Chaplain, U.S. Navy

"I am currently on deployment and have five ships I am covering. I also have an attachment of Marines and Seabees on board. The 75 BibleSticks were wonderful. I posted a message on all the ships and they were all spoken for within the hour. Not only that but it spurred a demand for hard copy Bibles as well. The BibleSticks have helped me out in five counseling situations so far and it is great seeing and hearing the buzz around the ship about the Bible. I never thought I would hear something like that."
- Chaplain F., U.S. Coastguard

On behalf of the tens of thousands of servicemen and women being able to hear God's Word in the midst of trying times, thank you.
