Donation Drive For King James Truckers Bibles
Hello - my name is John Noel. I’m a trucker. I have something VERY IMPORTANT FROM THE LORD to share with you. But first, please allow me to briefly tell you a little about myself, in case you don’t know who I am. I became a born-again believer in Jesus Christ late in my life. After my wife, Luanne, and I were baptized in 2002, we both started our journey to become immersed in the Word of God by attending theology classes and received intensive ministry training through our local church fellowship and International School of Ministry for many years. We have not yet stopped learning and growing in God's Word and make that a continual priority in our lives.
In 2006, I became a volunteer chaplain with Transport for Christ and continued to be trained and mentored to do ministry in the trucking industry. Being out on the road during the week, I loved to stop at chapels and truck stops that had Christ-centered resources to help me grow in my knowledge of God's Word, and then was moved of the Lord to begin passing these resources on to others to help them grow spiritually as well.
My wife and I and a few close (trucker?) friends were moved of the Lord to start buying Bibles and other Christian resources to give away freely, along with other trustworthy spiritual resources God provided - given to us free.
In 2012, we started Good News Distribution and also partnered with Truckers Friend's Network, which supply free new Testament Bibles to the trucking industry. With the help of Transport for Christ - which became distribution hubs for drivers to pickup and drop off cases of free bible's - we have distributed over 350,000 Bible's primarily at truck stops across the country in the past six years.
Over several years, I have learned so much about the needs of the trucking community. This is why NOW in late 2018 we have started on the journey to develop a NEW Outreach Testament Bible specifically for the trucking community. We have chosen the King James version Plus which is requested by so many. Some of the features include large print with quality paper and cover for durability and easy reading. This Bible will have helps specifically for the trucking industry, including topical studies, commentaries and testimonies from drivers saved and transformed by Jesus Christ and the Word of God. It will also include a list of Christian Ministries and Chapel locations that can help disciple drivers as they grow in their Christian walk.

We believe these free outreach Bibles will reach many lost souls for God's Glory. The estimated cost to develop, purchase copyrights, and have these New Testament Bibles print-ready will be approximately $5,000 (which includes travel expenses to meet with trucking Ministries around the country to make sure we have what they need to reach their drivers with these New Testament Bibles).
The first printing of 50,000 copies will cost approximately $50,000. We are asking for some seed money to get this project rolling off the presses and into the hands of those who need Christ. Please consider us in your year-end giving.
