Since August of 2010, Bibles for America has shipped over 12,000 military packets and nearly 3,000 copies of the New Testament Recovery Version to chaplains and other contacts at over 100 U.S. military installations and USOs. Many locations have even put in orders for more as they run out of packets and Bibles to distribute. Some installations and chaplains, however, have remained closed to the Recovery Version.
Recently there has been prayer for the Lord to open the way for the Recovery Version to get onto specific closed bases and for the chaplains to enjoy and distribute the materials. In a very short time, Camp Pendleton, which has been closed to the Recovery Version for years due to a negative chaplain, has been opened! Also, nearly 1000 packets were ordered by various installations last week, more than in any week previously. Finally, BfA received this encouraging e-mail from a contact at one Tucson, Arizona base:
