The Nathan Project

03/25/2026

March 24th 2026 was a wonderful day and will share with you today.
The day started with my good friend Spencer Lindsay from Working Men of Christ arriving to pick up bibles. Wonderful project helping prior inmates as they transition back into society. The bible being a huge part of that transition.
When I checked my phone after Spencer left I had missed a call. It was from the sweetest lady that you have ever met that is living in an assisted living facility. When I called her back she was in need of a bible as she had given hers to her grandson. About 10 minutes after that conversation I arrived with 4 bibles in hand. She shared the story about being at one of the events listening to Connie and I. She loved the story that I shared about wearing Nathan's shoes. They were bigger than my feet, but I said that " I will never fill them, but I can walk in them."
In the meantime I was working with a jail making a plan to get more bibles to the facility. Not being in the facility since covid I was hoping that I would not only deliver bibles, but talk with my locked up friends. You got it, we're on for next week! Ain't that cool!
I was sharing with Spencer when he was picking up bibles that I had not heard from the Wichita Juvenile Center for quite a while. Within an hour I heard from my good friend Jim Hartsock, he stores our bibles at his warehouse, that he had been contacted by them and they were needing bibles. Next part was getting them there. After a few minutes from a Facebook post the Hieber family is going to deliver for us.
And the day continues,
Every Tuesday afternoon I go to ACT, drug rehab for juveniles in Kansas. 8 beautiful faces and some for the first time seeing a bible. To watch a youth grow in God's word is such a blessing. At the end one young lady had some tough questions. When she told me that she never was much on religion and I said me either she was taken back. She asked so what is it? I said Jesus. She had me sign her bible LoL.
Then I go across the street to JDC Johnson County Juvenile facility. 5 young men that another volunteer and I have been working with for months. Watching them grow and change has been amazing. They talked about how things happen at the center and they shared bible verses helping them do the right thing as situations came up. As the session was ending and I was looking forward to the next couple of groups the fire alarm went off. Don't think there was a fire, but the fire these kids had I can see how it set off the alarm. That ended my day.
I want to conclude by thanking everyone for helping us buy bibles. Without you it would not happen. If you would ever like to help just send donation to The Signatry, 7171 West 95th Street Suite 501 Overland Park, KS 66212. Just make the check out to The Signatry and put Nathan Project in the memo.

Yesterday a young man had just had a bad day in court. Instead of heading home he is heading to prison. Paying for mistakes he has made, but working hard so he will not continue down this path. As he was sharing his story he was sitting leaning over with tears dripping on his bible. Someone out there bought that bible for him. It not only caught his tears, but will help him create a new life. Thank you for helping a young man that is going through some tough times.

15 years ago today we lost Nathan and within the next 24 hours we started the Nathan Project.

Here's my day from yesterday.

Received word from a local jail that they were out of bibles. Also told of how important it was for the inmates and was one of the first things they asked for. Two cases delivered, along with three books.

In the afternoon I went to the drug rehab for juveniles. These youth come from anywhere in Kansas. Open ears going through Proverbs and talking about making good decisions. You could feel the peace coming over them as they were finding something they had been missing.

Then across the street to the Juvenile Center. One young man that shared the story of how he wanted to murder someone to bring attention to himself. When I first met him he was in leg shackles and handcuffs. Several weeks ago he was baptized in the facility. Today he's out of the shackles and working on being the person God wants him to be.

Bottom line is this, the bible can change anyone. We need to go and share God's word everywhere. I'm thankful for all the help that we have received over the past 15 years allowing us to do just that.

175 bibles at Fields of Faith in Spring Hill last night. Home side of the football stadium was packed. What a night!

Thank you to everyone that has helped us purchase bibles for others. We're gearing up for our next shipment. If you want to help and donate you can send a check and make to The Signatry, 7171 West 95th Street, Suite 501, Overland Park, KS 66212 and put Nathan Project in the memo.

Coming up on 15 years and continue being blessed watching the impact God's word makes on a life and we thank you for being by our side.

God bless, Ron

It's pretty cool when someone asks " can I keep this? " Everyone needs a Bible.

The past several months have been packed with sorrow, beautiful stories and how important the bible is for both. Will travel to see my locked up buddies in the morning to celebrate the most important birthday ever. We are thankful to everyone for the continued support that let's us deliver God's word to others. Merry Christmas!

Isaiah 57 vs 1-2 Good people pass away, the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.

We will always miss Nathan, but know he's with Jesus and all is well. Please know this, God has a plan for you and he helps you with that plan by giving his word. That's what the Nathan Project is all about.

October 9th @ 7 Spring Hill football stadium Fields of Faith will be held. This invite goes out to everyone! Everyone is invited and it's all about what God can do in your life and your children's life. I will be there with bibles and look forward to seeing you. Nathan died almost 14 years ago, but we know he lives and will see him again. This is an event that I know Nathan would love and so do I.
