He Was Broken, Hopeless And Behind Bars, Until A King James Bible From Bibles Behind Bars Showed Him The Saving Grace Of Jesus Christ And The Lord Changed His Life Forever
The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry in north Georgia is a collective of 10 different Baptist churches we supply Bibles to who all labour together in the half-dozen jails and prisons that populate the area, minstering to the thousands of inmates who are behind bars for a variety of reasons. I want to introduce you to a recently released prisoner by the name of Phillip Smith who has an amazing testimony of new life in Jesus Christ after sitting under faithful preaching and being given one of our King James Bibles.
“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.” 2 Timothy 2:9 (KJB)
Phillip recently wrote a letter of his testimony which was given to us, and this will warm your heart like little else will. Phillip writes: “Found myself in a mess and behind bars Aug 6, 2025. For 2 weeks I struggled being away from my friends and family. Thinking of the disappointment I’m sure they all felt in me, I contemplated ways to end my troubles. Lost everything I had worked my whole life praying for just to lose it all over a bad habit. I felt no desire to start all over, I thank God for Pastor Shane coming each Thursday night and preaching hope into my heart. Aug 15, 2025 I turned my life over to the Lord and spent the next 2 1/2 months with my eyes and hands full of this bible. I successfully read it from cover to cover. I’m currently working on my second time through. After getting out of jail at the end of Oct. Brother Shane baptized me on Nov 2, 2025, in Holly Creek. If you’re in Holly Creek Nov 2 you better love Jesus, cause its cold. I’ve been attending Anchor Holds Baptist Church since my release, never had a church make me feel so welcome. Love my sermons with Brother David. Love my whole church family and I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” There it is, another soul finding a seat on Flight #777, praise the Lord!
Christian, Bibles Behind Bars is the link in the supply chain for groups like the Gospel Truth Jail Ministry who desperately need ministries like us to keep them supplied with King James Bibles. The man in the top photo is holding the actual Bible we provided for him, the “scripture of truth” that led him to the Lord Jesus. Gospel Truth Jail Ministry has now used up all the Bibles we sent them last year, giving them to inmates like Phillip, and have just reached out asking if we can supply them with 500 more. We sure can, but it will cost $2,207.20 to do it, and that’s where we need your help. Come help us!!

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!!!
