Who Are
We?
"…And the Truth
shall set you Free" {Jn 8}. Upon this scripture Freedom Biblical Information
Center was formed in September 1996. This small home-based family ministry has
had some impact toward the Work of Christ. The mainstay of this effort is to
publish and send a catalog of various publications, bible studies and sermon
tapes from reputable sources {mostly FREE of charge} to searching souls.
Eventually, we have touched 37 states and 17 countries, aiding 4 prison
ministries and 2 missionaries with literature!
At the outset we have
determined never to charge for anything we send out. Funded only by our
personal tithes we have done quite well. Many times folks insist on helping out
financially to which I reply, "I only need help in spreading the word". Of
great help was a man in Texas that donated and maintains a web site for us.
Another web site was developed by a friend locally. Another friend of
FreedomInfo in Virginia had advertising cards printed and sent to me. Many have
donated advertising space to me or published my articles.
My goal and vision has
not diminished over these past years: get people interested in BIBLE study!
While I do encourage regular church attendance and exercising our individual
gifts and talents- it should not be in lieu of personal bible study. A sure
fire way to find God’s will towards men is prayer and bible study. God
will lead us in all truth if we fervently pray for guidance and allow God to
fashion our character into His image. We must also resolve to yield to His
Word- be willing to change when we find we are in error.
Someone will surely point
out that prayer and bible study does not require the ministries I support in my
catalog. If any are like me, I had read quite a bit of the Bible starting out
only to realize I needed help. I was comforted when I read in Acts 8, as a man
was reading from a scroll of Isaiah and didn't comprehend the message. He was
compelled to cry out "how can I understand unless a man show me!" God, in His
mercy, did put teachers into His church for the purpose of perfecting those He
calls to repentance. But as always it is up to the individual to prove the
beliefs from his personal bible.
It has been a rewarding
time with this ministry and we look ahead to the future for greater growth and
more opportunities to serve the searching souls in their quest to find that
narrow path that leads to LIFE. Please view the online catalog for good bible
studies and free sermon tapes, or if you would like a printed copy e-mail me
