If you don't have much time to read this, just know that I am sincerely grateful.

I recently attended the Louisiana Family Forum Gala where your bibles had been presented to Dale and Gene as well as many of the award winning politicians. I was secretly envious when I saw them, for they are nicer than any bible I have ever owned (However, equally as nice as bibles I have gifted to others). Today, I friend from church who leads an offshore Bible study stopped by with one of your Bibles as a gift for me! He told me that he had met an employee of SafeArc on his platform who connected him with David Hoke, who I understand leads this ministry.

Upon receiving the Bible, with all of its personalized etching, I grew anxious to learn which translation it was. Mine is the NKJV, which links me back to the church in which I was reborn almost 25 yeas ago in Syracuse, New York. Pastor Ken Smith Sr. used the NKJV. This church bears some minor significance in that Rosaria Champagne Butterfield was also brought to faith in this church under Ken Smith Sr. about a year before my own conversion.

Greetings! Presented the Bible to my neighbor. He’s so grateful! He said “It’s beautiful!” Went over with him where to begin reading! I went visit yesterday and he had it right next to him! He’s been reading and told his children how grateful he was and how nice the Bible is! He loves it! Thank you all so much! My words can’t express my gratitude! God bless!

Shannon M.

Thank you so much for the Bible for my hospice patient! He was so grateful! We opened it up and read today! God bless y’all! In HIS Service. 😎🙏✝️

Brother Mezgebu

Dear Brother David Hoke,

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the profound impact you have made in my life and in the lives of those around me through the generous gift of the LASB (Life Application Study Bible) with the unique ID code 2026.

This invaluable gift has truly become a treasure of wisdom and a spiritual library for those of us who cherish the word of God. The LASB has not only enriched my understanding of the scriptures, but it has also provided guidance and insight that has deeply resonated with my spiritual journey.

Its impact has been profound, and I am constantly amazed by the depth of wisdom and knowledge it contains. Furthermore, I would like to add my admiration for your remarkable vision and the positive influence you have had on our community.

Your role as a vision caster is truly inspiring, and the LASB gift is a testament to your selflessness and the love you have for those who love the word of God.

I am grateful beyond words for your generosity, and I am continually inspired by your example. I believe that your vision and the impact of the LASB gift have touched many lives, and I am honored to be among those who have been blessed by your kindness and vision. Once again, thank you, dear Brother David, for your unwavering dedication and the profound impact you have made through your selfless actions. Your generosity and vision have truly made a difference in our lives.

With heartfelt appreciation and warm regards,

(Bishop of East Africa in ACIF)

Ironically, I received this beautiful Bible three days before Christmas, and I am reminded that the Lord is in control in all things. I love the personal and thoughtful details of my Bible, and I appreciate the larger print. I am a kindergarten Sunday school teacher, and I can use this and the preschool Bible in my class. I hope that the children will be encouraged to read and bring their Bibles. I am truly thankful for this lovely gift, God's word.

This gift can’t be described with words. God took me and my wife who were broken drugs addicts for over 15 years he freed us from our chains and gave us new life. He’s given us more than I could ever imagined and we don’t deserve it. God knows what we need and when we need it. Me and my wife have been sober 5 years from drugs all thanks to God we were homeless sleeping wherever we could to now we both have normal lives and we don’t deserve what God has given us!!

But today I decided the best Bible with my name as a state leader for a family to inherit would be marked up and worn. My first study is the story of Steven.

Brandon

Mr. David an I were talking and I mentioned that I had trouble understanding my bible so he offered to give me one personalized for me. Ever since I’ve gotten it, it’s the only Bible I want to read. It’s helping me understand what I’m reading. Each day I read a little more than I did the day before. I believe it’s an absolute game changer for me. Very grateful for this gift. Thank you

I know it took a lot of time for ya’ll to get the names of everyone and writing Isaiah verse 55:11 on a sticky note. Thank you for putting the in the time on making the Bibles.

Dear Brothers in Christ of understanding the word. It is an honor for me to be able to read his daily living Bible, study Bible, it has been a great blessing to me and my family, since my son who lives in the U.S. He brought it to me as a gift to Chile, I have been very fortunate to have it. I would like to see the possibility of getting some copies to share with some people new to the gospel, I know it will be a great blessing to many. In Chile I belong to the United Pentecostal Church of Talca Gesemani. And we're still a small church, but working to grow in souls. That's why I was very happy to be able to get some copies for us. grateful to be able to write to you and if you can't I will be grateful anyway. Sincerely, Luis Carvajal Concha from the city of Talca Chile

Caryn N.

Before I truly began reading my Bible, I believed in God but often felt spiritually dry and unsure of His direction for my life. I would pray, but my prayers sometimes felt one-sided, like I was speaking into the air without hearing a response.
Everything began to change when I committed to spending time in God’s Word daily. At first, it was simply a few verses in the morning. But as I kept reading, I began to notice that the Scriptures spoke directly into my situations sometimes with comfort, other times with conviction, but always with love.
Through the Bible, I discovered who God is in a deeper way: His faithfulness in the Psalms, His wisdom in Proverbs, His mercy in the Gospels, and His promises throughout the whole story of Scripture. I started to understand that the Bible is not just a book it’s God’s living Word, and it has the power to guide, heal, and transform.
Now, my Bible is more than just pages bound together; it’s my daily lifeline. When I face fear, I find peace in His promises. When I feel weak, I find strength in His truth. When life is confusing, His Word gives me clarity and hope.
I can honestly say that reading my Bible has changed my life. It has given me a stronger faith, a clearer purpose, and a deeper relationship with Jesus. I no longer just believe in Him I know Him, because His voice speaks to me through His Word every day.

Brandon C.

It has really made me want to read the Bible more. It’s always been a struggle of mine to read and understand the Bible, but with this one and the way things are worded and explained, everything is coming together now. I really wished there was a way I could buy some for my family. I’ve searched for years for a Bible like this and I was surely blessed with one. It’s great thank you and may god continue to bless you.

Randy A.

What a blessing it is to receive God’s word the very meaning of life thank you David for your ministry and your faithfulness. I’m very excited to dig into his word and continue my journey and grow closer to God and be ever faithful in Jesus name. Amen.

David B.

This personalized copy, which is so special, will bless future generations as I pass it on to my son, eventually and hopefully then to his sons. It is a powerful tool in sharing the gospel with others and full of in-depth information. I was raised in the Catholic tradition at a time when we didn't read the bible so I can see already there will be much I will learn from this
new bible.

Jeanie B.

It is allowing me to delve deeper into scripture. It contains a wealth of information, easily understood and the tabs help for quick references.

Shane F.

It was a blessing to me for someone that don’t know you to really care and have a heart to go out but a bible for you to be able to read. Words can’t describe how heart felt. It is to receive a Bible this beautiful. I have trouble to see small print so this wonderful man of God went out and purchased one for me. He also had it engraved. Which mean a lot to me.

Granny

My Bible is my love letter from Jesus. David and his granddaughter made it personal. It is so beautiful. I am 82 year's old, had a Sunday School teacher that told me when I was four year old that Jesus love's me. She was right. I hope my faith becomes sight soon Because He Lives, Granny 👵
