You can donate bibles, of course, but that’s not all! One of the most common questions we hear is, “What kinds of materials do you send overseas?”
Items You Can Donate
If what you have falls under any of these categories, feel free to send it to us.
Bibles
New or used, any translation, New Testaments or other portions, individual gospel booklets
Reference Material
Dictionaries, Bible dictionaries, concordances, commentaries, etc.
Books
All Christian books – adult or children, non-fiction
Magazines and Daily Devotionals
Any devotionals or magazine from a Christian publisher
Sunday School Materials
Adult quarterlies and all teacher manuals in any amount from all publishers; children’s quarterlies with the teacher’s manual and full student manuals.
CDs, DVDs, BluRay
Music, movies, teaching from well known speakers (Billy Graham, Swindoll, etc.)
Tracts
All tracts
Puppets, Nativity Sets, etc.
Bible games, biblical puzzles – anything that helps teach the gospel, especially to children
Still not sure? We essentially have two criteria for deciding what material we accept: Something that will lead someone to faith in Christ and/or something that will disciple a believer. If your material does one of those things, send it.
Items We Do Not Use
Save yourself some postage and do not send these types of items:
VHS/Tapes/Records/8-tracks

Handiwork or busy papers from Sunday School materials
Secular books (other than dictionaries)
