 Bibles for Soldiers
Bibles for our troops Through our Military Chaplain Outreach, IBS is providing & desert Bibles and New Testaments to troops in Iraq, troops preparing for deployment, and troops remaining at home station. IBS sends Scriptures to military chaplains, who distribute the Scriptures to their service members. Priority is given to Reserve and National Guard Chaplains because they typically have limited funds to purchase Scriptures, said Retired Army Chaplain Chuck Adams, Military Representative.  More Reserve and National Guard troops are being called to active duty now than in the 1991 Gulf War. That's why the need is so great right now to supply Reserve and National Guard Chaplains with Bibles, Adams said.
We want to get Scriptures to the troops at their U.S. bases before they leave for Iraq, so they have God's Word with them in their pockets. But we also can put the Scriptures on U.S. supply planes. They;re delivered to the Chaplains through the regular supply lines on the ground in Iraq. Either way, we'd like to know that every soldier who wants God's Word has it.
