With ministry partners worldwide, BVI is committed to helping children see Jesus. Bible Visuals is located in Akron, Pennsylvania just north of Lancaster City.

Bible Visuals International (BVI) is a nonprofit publishing ministry that creates and distributes affordable, accessible, and adaptable children’s ministry materials. Despite the scope of its materials, it is a small organization with only three full-time employees and two part-time employees. A Board of Directors made up of local Christians also help guide the ministry. In addition, freelance artists along with faithful volunteers and translators allow BVI to continue to exist for the furtherance of the Gospel. BVI is a 501 (c)(3) organization meaning that donations play a major role in the existence of the ministry.

Looking for a Halloween/Reformation day activity this weekend? Read “The Refuge”, the story of Martin Luther and Reformation Day! Dwell on the valuable truths in Martin Luther’s story and how he discovered that his works were not enough, only belief in Jesus Christ would atone for his sins.

Praise the Lord for another wonderful year of FaithfulGive! Nearly $37,000 was given to BVI, and those gifts will be STRETCHED through a portion of the stretch fund, as well as an additional $1,500 prize -- THANK YOU to all those who gave! Funds like these make a huge impact on our budget, allowing us to continue to produce new gospel-centered resources and support partners around the globe for years to come.

One of BVI’s established partnerships is with the Hawes family in Papua New Guinea. What started as one small Bible club in a local public school has, by God’s grace, rapidly expanded across numerous provinces, now reaching approximately 20,000 students every week. BVI recently helped rework the curriculum we designed for the Bible clubs, expanding it to reach additional grades and updating illustrations to better serve their cultural context.

Throughout the globe, BVI has multiple projects underway with the goal of helping educate children about the Gospel and the love of Jesus Christ. BVI works to creatively translate and distribute teaching materials, even in the face of opposition and persecution. One of the recent ways we’ve pursued this is through working with various international partners to translate titles from our Family Worship Series into languages like Arabic, Spanish, French, and even Mongolian!

Last evening we hosted our annual Partner Fair. Lots of food and fun with a purpose. Location, language and culture are all barriers we are called to cross for the sake of the Gospel. "I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings." (I Corinthians 9:22-23) FaithfulGive continues today! https://faithfulgive.org/cause/bible-visuals/

In August, BVI helped host a family camp at the Brave-Hearted Camp center in Khatgal, Mongolia. Over 15 families from across the country gathered for the four-day event which was filled with workshops, preaching and fun activities for all. During the event families received a free copy of BVI’s Mark and James family worship books recently translated and printed in Mongolian. Your donations help us support partners like these through translation, distribution, and training efforts!

This summer, 60 kids from the Lancaster County area participated in our Walking By the Way Summer Reading Program! They and their families spent time reading God's Word, learning about missionaries and prominent Christians throughout history, and exploring God's creation. Looking to next year, we plan to expand the WBTW program for national participation to help encourage more families to spend intentional time discipling their kids! Your donations can help us supply prizes and discipleship resources for this program. Interested in learning more? Visit biblevisuals.org/WBTW
