Ms. Sailsbury a remarkable story She walked through her halls every morning and prayed for the children before school started. After seeing one of her students reading an old Bible she checked out of the library, the ministry of Bibles in Schools were born. Sailsbury’s mission is to spread God’s Word by getting engaging Action Bibles in public school libraries since there are no laws prohibiting it.

Here are a few beautiful testimonies of what God is doing through this ministry. Thanks to the recent victories in Oklahoma and Louisiana, where the Ten Commandments will be on display and the Bible can be taught, 34 Bibles were sent to Louisiana a teacher requested them; she will be teaching the Bible as literature. Thanks to Bibles in Schools, this teacher will have the resources she needs to teach 34 students every year. Let’s pray that her colleagues follow suit!

A tender story comes from Texas about a first-grade boy named Angel. He kept checking out the Action Bible from the school library, and when the librarian asked him why, Angel said that he and his dad read the Bible together every morning. The librarian wrote Bibles in Schools and said the Bibles were very popular and were always checked out. She requested that Angel receive the gift of a copy of the Spanish Action Bible. Angel was surprised, happy, and thankful. His teacher told Hannah, “You made his dream come true by giving him this Bible.”

Another student took a long time to return his Bible, and when the librarian asked. He said he was trying to finish reading the whole Bible. His mom bought him one to keep.

“Families go to worship together. Do they talk about the Bible when they leave? Maybe I would hope so, but I also know we can get so busy. I love that we are providing precious family time. When children take their Bibles home, they read with their families; they talk about the Bible and God. It’s bringing families together.”

Bibles In Schools Need Your Prayers Pray for God’s connections. We need the right people who have favor in districts and can open doors for Bibles to get into the school libraries Psalm 90:17

Pray for school board members, teachers, parents, and librarians to advocate for getting Bibles in schools. Hannah presented the mission of Bibles in Schools before a school board, and they, as well as the superintendent, approved it. A school member has been helpful. However, almost six months have passed, and the district librarian has yet to follow through. Whether it’s procrastination or delay, we can pray. Galatians 6:9

Pray for bold, unapologetic teachers, administration, and parents who will defend and invite God’s Word into their children’s schools. Some librarians will not accept Bibles because they say it’s favoritism. They say they cannot accept one religious text and not all of them. “They don’t understand that the Bible is more than a religious text. It’s historical. It was part of our country’s founding. It’s been taught in schools, and it’s still being taught. There is no reason for them not to accept it. It’s getting more complicated only because they don’t understand our nation’s history or our rights.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58

We pray for Christian teachers, librarians, and administrators to be bold like lions. Let them be defenders of Your Word, knowing that You will defend them as they stand. We pray for teachers and administration who are lost. Stir a hunger in them as they see why these children are so excited about Bibles. We know that You will transform their hearts and lives as they read Your Word. That is what we want because it’s what You want. We want to hear more stories, just like Angel, where reading the Bible brings families together.

The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it Isaiah 55:10-11
