Lifewords’ 139 year old Bible resource ministry in print, in person, and online is fuelled by the prayerful generosity of individuals, trusts and churches.
Every gift, every donation makes a huge difference and helps bring life all over the world. Here’s how your gift is put to use:
In the “workshop”
The creative, theological, cultural and missional interplay that brings new ideas and projects to life, shaping the content and concepts for our material.
In the “engine room”
The origination, design and printing of booklet resources in multiple languages and contexts: Printed. Digital. Online. Engaging the world with the Word through multiple formats and technologies. Making a range of resources that help Christians and people from all walks of life encounter the Bible.
In the warehouse
The storage, packing and dispatching of hundreds of thousands of resources from our UK and Poland warehouses to the four corners of the earth. Last year over 762,000 resources were dispatched to 61 countries. Each order is more than a resource – it is the gospel going out around the world!
In the office
Enabling the team in the administration and running of the organisation. Largely unseen, nonetheless this “back room” work anchors the outreach of the public-facing ministry – and helps connection with supporters, pray-ers and donors alike.
On the road
Engaging in person with church leaders and networks, faith communities, mission workers, evangelists, chaplains, teachers, creative artists, care professionals, the committed and the curious, the sanctified and the seeking. Building partnerships, forging alliances, equipping Christians to share the story and serve their community.
On the mission trail
Providing Bible resources to those who need them most – whether it’s a pastor in a remote village, a community group in a bustling city, or a young person searching for meaning in a turbulent world. Everywhere there is need.
Reaching the culture
Engaging with the world’s needs and aches through programmes and projects that meet people where they are, advocate for the Bible, and tell the story in fresh ways – letting Scripture speak, reach, and teach.
Reaching the hard places
Bringing Bible resources where they are few, or scarce; empowering workers in tough contexts and conditions; working with and standing alongside partners to help those caught in poverty, hardship, oppression; bringing hope, comfort and love.
Bringing life
Most of all, our supporters fuel Lifewords to continue to create ways into the Bible for people to explore and share, to practice and experience, to engage and live out – so that they find life in all its fullness.
How it works:
Use and donate
Supporters who order and use resources can donate to cover the basic costs of resources used. Helping to cover the production, printing, and distribution of the resources is a tremendous contribution to make – it makes it possible for us to continue the mission.
“Pay it forward”
Any donation amount over and above the “basic” means that we can supply others around the world who do not have the funds to access resources – and who very often cannot do their mission or outreach work without such context-specific, Scripture-rich resources we provide – thanks to your generosity, and that of others who share the passion for Bible work.
Stand-alone
Anyone can make a gift to the general mission regardless of whether they order resources. Such gifts enable us to provide Bible resources to those who need them most – whether it’s a pastor in a remote village, a community group in a bustling city, or a young person searching for meaning in a turbulent world. Every donation made becomes a powerful tool for ministry, paving the way for countless others to experience the hope and wisdom of the Bible.
We are so grateful to each and every one that gives to this work!
We appreciate life is tough right now, and economics are difficult. Lifewords supporters are a global community committed to sharing the Bible’s life-giving message and to making a lasting difference in people’s lives. Every gift given is a vital piece of this ministry, outreach and witness. You can give easily in a variety of ways – one-off gifts, regular standing orders (which enable us to plan more long-term) and even legacies – and in partnership with so many others we can keep reaching the world with this life changing story.
