Since 1974, we've remained steadfast in our mission: helping people encounter Christ through Scripture. What began with print materials and radio broadcasts has grown into a 24/7 Internet ministry—always free, as Scripture teaches "freely ye have received, freely give." Today, we're building a comprehensive Bible study platform while expanding into compassionate care ministries that serve those in greatest need.
Our Mission: Teaching the Truth of the Bible
At BMI, our primary purpose is to teach people how to study the Bible for themselves, equipping them with cutting-edge digital tools to fully understand that the essence of Scripture revolves around the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through our innovative BiblicalTools.org platform, compassionate listening services, and educational resources, we aim to:
- Feed God's people with Truth through revolutionary Bible study technology
- Create a welcoming environment where people from diverse beliefs and backgrounds can gain insight, understanding, and connection
- Emphasize the central role of Jesus Christ in Scripture, fostering a deeper appreciation of His love and sacrifice
- Provide compassionate support for those facing life's greatest challenges
Breaking New Ground: BiblicalTools.org Transformation
We're thrilled to report remarkable progress on our comprehensive Bible hub. What started as a single page has exploded into a platform spanning 14 dedicated pages of ministry and educational resources.
