Bringing Hope Beyond the Bars: Bibles Behind Bars Partners With Vineyard Transitional Center To Share God’s Word With Former Inmates In Clay County FL

October 9, 2025 admin News 0

Bibles Behind Bars will help Vineyard Transitional Center to open location to house recently released inmates looking for work in Clay County here in Florida

On Tuesday at the Bookstore, we were visited by two men, Pastor John Sanders and Joseph Smith, both of them from the Vineyard Transitional Center in nearby Green Cove Springs here in Florida. They told us of their ministry assisting recently released inmates in providing temporary housing for them while they look for work. They said they were doing a BBQ Pork Butt Fundraiser to help pay for the cost of the construction of the building which is about halfway completed, and would we like to contribute. As I opened my mouth to reply, I could hear the Lord already answering for me. We would help them, yes, but for much more than just BBQ.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

With all the work we’ve done over the years through Bibles Behind Bars, all the hundreds of thousands of books, Bibles and tracts we’ve sent out, here is a chance in our own backyard to assist inmates who are no longer behind the bars. They showed us photos of the construction in progress, and it is truly remarkable what is being done. As the 4 of us continued to talk, the Lord showed me plainly how we needed to help them. First, Lori said that we would donate books and Bibles, enough to create a beautiful reading library at VTC.  They were overjoyed by that. Then, I told them we would do a fundraiser through NTEB with the goal of raising $10,000 to help with the construction costs of finishing the Center. That’s the equivalent of buying 250 of the BBQ pork butts from their fundraiser! Honestly, I am hoping we can raise more than that, but reaching that goal would be amazing, and miraculous and wonderful. Come help us to provide this blessing to them.

You are invited to join us in this next huge step in the maturation of the Bibles Behind Bars ministry outreach, not only in keeping the supply lines open, but now, providing tangible help to the very same people we give the Bibles to, after they are released. A ministry beyond the bars. This will bring Bibles Behind Bars to a whole new level of ministry and outreach.

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORT…TO THE FIGHT!!!
