Two Weeks After We Shipped King James Bibles To Atascadero State Hospital, A Chaplain’s Beautiful Testimony Shows What Happened When The Boxes Were Opened

There are places in our society intentionally built for maximum separation, spaces where razor wire, heavy steel doors, and strict security protocols define daily life. The California Department of State Hospitals Atascadero is one of those places. As a maximum-security forensic psychiatric facility, it houses men who are navigating both profound psychological crises and complex legal paths. To the world, it is an institutional fortress. But to a ministry like Bibles Behind Bars, it represents a profound mission field. You are really going to enjoy what the chaplain there told us today about the impact the Bibles we send there have on the inmates.

“Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.” Psalm 142:7 (KJB)

We sent a shipment of Bibles to them about two weeks ago, and today I read this from Chaplain Anderson – “Thank you very much for the large print, King James bibles you sent to us. As I walked down the hallway with the warehouse cart full of beautiful bibles, patients stopped me many times and asked for a bible. As I walked, and gave out many bibles, I looked back and saw men stopped in the hallway, leaned up against the wall and each one began to read and devour their brand-new King James bible! The forensics maximum security state hospital for the criminally insane was instantly filled with peace. My heart was filled with a deep sense of awe and gratitude at the kindness and mercy of Jesus Christ. May our God continue to bless you and shine His Mighty Face upon your ministry!” The graphic you see at the top of this article is an artistic representation of what that might have looked like, and man oh man, I sure do wish I could have been there to see the looks on their faces as they recieved their new Bibles. Don’t you?

Christian, take a moment to think about how scary it must be to be committed to a place like Atascadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, and praise the LORD that it’s not you in there. Then take a moment to reread Chaplain Anderson’s wonderful testimony about how the Bibles we provide to them bring such a sense of peace to the souls in those dark corridors. It is an honor, and a priviledge to be used of God in this way, to do this awesome and vitally important end times work. Now please come help us, we need you now more than ever.
