CLI Needs Bibles!
Bibles are desperately need by inmates who want to experience the life changing work that only Jesus Christ can bring! CLI currently needs 700 Bibles per month!
You can make that blessing possible by donating or purchasing a case of Bibles for the prisons. There are several options below. Your church or company may purchase several types of Bibles, depending on your budget. We pray you will bring a blessing into the prisons this year.
CLI does not sell Bibles - we give everything away! When you purchase a Bible, or case of Bibles, please ship it to our offices at the address below. Individuals many NOT send Bibles directly to a prison. It will be refused and come right back. See the flyer below for three great options:
Donating Books
CLI accepts donations of new and gently used Christian Books, Bibles, CDs, Audio Cassettes and DVDs. These new and gently used resources are sent to prison inmates across the U.S. and other countries. God uses these materials to draw the imprisoned to himself.
Christian books act like little missionaries going into dark and dangerous places. We receive letters each week attesting to changed lives from reading, hearing or viewing Christian materials. Plus the materials can be used by many different people and really impact millions of lives.
Many believers have Christian resources on their shelves that are not being used. Donate those books and materials to CLI to spread the Gospel and encourage inmate believers in their faith. We are proud to recycle good materials and color ourselves “Green!”
We accept all types of Christian books including, biographies, fiction, non-fiction, bible studies and theological texts. They may be hardcover or soft cover but must be bound for placement on a shelf. We are unable to use spiral or notebook ringed materials.
While CLI pays for all outbound shipping to the prisons, we can not pay for inbound shipping. If you, your church, or organization can enclose a check of $10 per box, it will greatly help us with our extensive shipping costs.
Special needs:
Due to drug use and an aging inmate population, large print study Bibles and books are in great demand.
CLI also sends youth books for kids ages 7-17 into the detention centers. CLI currently has a great need for quality materials for these age groups. We especially need modern Christian materials that will catch their attention and draw them to Christ.
