Bible in man's hands bigMore than 60,000 copies of God's Holy Word will soon be in the hands of public school students nationwide.

 

It is part of the annual Truth for Youth Bible drive between Revival Fires International and American Family Radio.
 
Last week, people were encouraged to take part in the effort by calling in and getting a Bible on behalf of a child, grandchild, or other family member in public school. More than 60,000 bibles were requested. The only requirement is that the Bible be given away at a public school.
 
Tim Todd (Revival Fires International)Tim Todd is president of Revival Fires International. "As these Bibles go out across the nation and get into the hands of Christian teenagers and then go into the public schools across America and into the hands of unsaved young people, we're believing God for a great and mighty harvest as a direct result of these efforts," he says.
 
More than 410,000 young people have received Bibles through the program.
