Dear Friend,


At about this time in the school year, college students are acclimating to life on campus. It's an exciting time, with many new avenues to explore. Unfortunately, statistics show that it is during the college years that many people stop practicing their Catholic faith. Will you help us slow this trend?


Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Word on Fire started distributing free copies of the Word on Fire Bible Volume I: The Gospels to college students in August 2023. So far, we've distributed over 23,000 volumes to campus ministry centers at colleges all over the country. These students at the University of Louisiana express their gratitude from Our Lady of Wisdom Catholic Church and Student Center in Lafayette.



We've received several testimonies from Newman Centers sharing the positive impact this initiative has had and encouraging us to continue in these efforts. Please make a gift today to help us send more Bibles out to college students.




MAKE A GIFT


This year, we are also making this initiative available to OCIA groups. Last May, we started sending Bibles to high school graduates and parish religious education programs. These Bibles were distributed as gifts to high school graduates on their way to college or trade school. Students are often moved when they receive this beautiful Bible in addition to their diploma. Please make a gift to help us bring the Gospel message to more youth.


God bless you,


The Word on Fire Team





P.S. If you are involved in campus ministry at a college or educational institution that could benefit from free copies of The Gospels, please reply to this email or reach out to us at donations@wordonfire.org.
