PRISONERS BIBLE CRUSADE OUR PURPOSE To "Remember them that are in
bonds,..." (Hebrews 13:3) with the Word of God! " Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me". The ministry of the Prisoners Bible Crusade is to distribute Bibles to people in prisons and jails. We also seek to give salvation tracts and sound religious books and literature for Christian education in correctional institutions only in the United States of America. OUR HISTORY In a very brief form: The Prisoners Bible
Crusade was born of a burden of Brother Chester C. Lee, a Christian Lay-worker in the
Leetown community east of Picayune, Mississippi, USA. In 1972 the Supreme Court of
the United States ruled that capital punishment was unconstitutional, meaning that states
could not execute any one for crimes they had committed. The state of Florida said
that they were not going to abide by that ruling. At the time Florida had 92 men on
death row in Raiford , Florida. This was big news at that time and Brother Lee
hearing about the people on death row became burdened from God about them. He and
his wife, "Miss Effie" went to the local TG &Y store and order 100 Bibles
and sent them to the prison Chaplain at the Union Correctional Prison at Raiford, Florida
in time for Christmas of 1972. OUR PRINCIPLES Recognizing the scriptural
principal that Jesus Christ gave the 'GREAT COMMISSION' to His Churches, the Prisoners
Bible Crusade is an outreach ministry of and had its beginning under the authority of the
LEE's CHAPEL #2 BAPTIST CHURCH in Picayune, MS. We believe that the Word of God is
the final authority on all things. We believe that the Word of God has the answer
for the sin problem that is in all of mankind. We believe that the Word of God has
the answer for the crime problems that sin has caused in the world.
Our practice is found in the Word of God in the book of Hebrews
13:3, That is to "remember them that are in
bonds..." with the the Word of God. We give the King James Version of the Holy Bible! We do a great work, yet it is also a simple work; We give Bibles to Prisoners.
OUR NEEDS We solicit the prayers and
financial support of Churches and individual Children of God to carry on this ministry of
giving Bibles to prison Inmates across our land. This ministry operates for the
glory of God. Our prayer is that our God will use it to place His Holy Word into the
hands of prison Inmates across our land and that the Holy Spirit will use the Word of God
to save Many, Many lost men and women in prisons. We are thankful for your prayers,
monthly financial support and generous love offering Our mailing address is:
