Dear Friend, The month of May has come to a close, and first, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible generosity you have already shown. Because of supporters like you, Word on Fire has been able to place over 30,000 Bibles into the hands of young people across the country. However, we are writing to you today with a candid update: As of June 4, we have not yet reached our $200,000 goal for the College Bibles Fund. The transition to college is one of the most precarious times in a young person’s spiritual life: Statistics show that 79 percent of those who leave the faith do so by age 23. This is why our partnership with Newman Centers and Catholic campus ministries is so vital. We want to meet these students as they form their adult identities. Will you make a gift today? HELP US REACH THE GOAL While the calendar has turned to June, our mission to prepare for the fall semester remains in full swing. Our goal for 2026 is to distribute 8,000 additional copies of The Word on Fire Bible: The Gospels. When freshmen arrive on campus, they are often at a spiritual crossroads. By placing The Word on Fire Bible: The Gospels in their hands, you provide a spiritual anchor when they need it most. This Bible is more than simply a book; it is a high-quality, beautiful, and intellectually engaging resource designed specifically to draw people into the story of Jesus Christ. For a student facing the secular pressures of campus life, this volume can serve as a definitive turning point. Will you make a gift to help us reach the finish line? $25 provides one Bible for a student seeking the truth. $125 puts The Gospels into the hands of five students. $500 equips an entire campus ministry small group for the year. $1,000 helps provide Bibles for an entire freshmen retreat. Please join us in this final push. Your generosity ensures that when new college students search for meaning this fall, they will find the word of God waiting for them. Please consider making a gift today to help us reach the next generation of disciples. God bless you, The Word on Fire Team Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, PO Box 97330, Washington, DC 20090-7330, United States Manage Your Email Preferences .
