OUR MISSION

Understanding the Word Ministries exists to help people across the world truly understand and apply the Word of God. We do this by giving away Life Application Study Bibles—completely free of charge—to anyone willing to learn, grow, and walk with the Lord.

Freely you have received; freely give.

MATTHEW 10:8

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

PSALM 119:105

LED BY THE SPIRIT.
FUELED BY FAITH.

In 2020, Understanding the Word was born from a prompting of the Holy Spirit—to help people not just read the Bible, but truly understand it. What began as a small mission to share Life Application Study Bibles with those seeking clarity soon became a global calling. Each Bible is personalized, because we believe God’s Word speaks to every individual, uniquely and powerfully.

A GROWING MOVEMENT

In 2024, while presenting 2,000 Spanish Bibles for the Dominican Republic, our testimony touched the heart of a Louisiana leader’s wife. That moment led to placing Bibles with every State Representative in Louisiana—and revealed a bigger calling: to share the Word with leaders across the entire United States.

When we placed Bibles in the hands of leaders, we realized God was just getting started.

While our mission expanded across the U.S., the heart of Understanding the Word Ministries has always been global. To date, we’ve placed over 30,000 customized Application Study Bibles into the hands of individuals in countries like Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Ethiopia, Peru, Brazil, the Philippines, Kenya, Uganda, and beyond. Each Bible is a gift of love, sent in response to personal requests from around the world—because the Word knows no borders.

From small towns to distant nations, God’s Word is finding its way.

OUR FUTURE

At Understanding the Word Ministries, giving a Bible means more than sharing a book. It’s sharing God’s love, truth, and hope. Each Life Application Study Bible helps someone know Him in a real and personal way. We believe this mission is just beginning. Our goal is big—8 billion Bibles, one for every person on earth. Not for fame or profit, but to honor God and spread His Word to every corner of the world.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

MARK 16:15
