A LETTER FROM MBS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
We need your help...
As 2025 comes to a close, we pause with grateful hearts. Through your generosity, the Lord has once again poured extraordinary blessing into the ministry of your Maryland Bible Society. Thank you for standing with us.
Because of friends like you, the love of Christ and His Word continue to reach our community and beyond. Your partnership has made a real, tangible Kingdom impact:
- Bible translation: Our strategic partnership with the American Bible Society continues to grow, advancing the vision we all share—that every people group might have God’s Word in their own language.
- Bible Conference: This year’s conference—Biblical Apologetics in an Age of AI—was a tremendous success. In partnership with ABS and with the hospitality of Forge Road Bible Chapel, we equipped believers with timely and practical tools. Planning for next year is already underway. Watch the video recording from the seminar on YouTube.
- Kenya bookstore & library: The ministry in Kenya remains strong and well-resourced. We anticipate an opportunity for a renewed Bible collection in late 2026 or 2027, and we are eager to support them again.
- Bible distribution: Because of your giving, we met every Bible request we received this year with either a partial or full grant. Ministries such as Child Evangelism Fellowship and Beachmont Christian Ministries—and many others—are actively placing God’s Word in people’s hand.
- Partnerships that matter: Our collaborations with churches of every denomination, youth ministries such as FCA and Young Life, and prison ministries like Uncuffed remain essential to our mission. We look forward to strengthening these relationships in the year ahead.
- Personal ministry: I continue to serve as a representative of MBS, walking alongside pastors and ministry leaders as a coach, mentor, discipler, and partner. Organizational consulting opportunities have expanded this year, allowing the wisdom of Scripture to shape key ministries in Baltimore.
- Looking ahead: The Lord is opening doors. New partnership opportunities and ongoing collaborations are already forming for 2026, and we are excited for what He will do.
All of this—every Bible distributed, every ministry strengthened, every life touched by God’s Word—is possible ONLY because of your faithfulness.
As we prepare to serve Christ in 2026, we will once again depend on the generous support of believers like you.
Will you please prayerfully consider a year-end gift to the Maryland Bible Society so that these vital, Gospel-centered efforts may continue and expand?
Thank you for your partnership in this Kingdom work.
May the Lord bless you richly as you seek to honor Him.

Ministry Highlight: A2Missions
MBS Empowering women in Europe with Gospel-focused resources
Even though Europe has a Christian foundation, most people do not practice any religion. There are many people who do not own or have ever seen a Bible.
A2Missions works in Hungary to strengthen churches, reach communities, and mentor Christian women. This is accomplished through the work of many people because the gospel spreads best in partnership with others. They have seen God at work through these partnerships and have received requests for discipleship, outreach events, and training seminars.
As with most ministries, recent events have forced them to broaden their horizons. The current situation has not stopped their ministry, just changed it. Using the internet, this has allowed them to “meet” new people who would not have had the time to talk with them previously. Some of these people have many connections with both schools and churches. In the future, this will allow them to engage with more individuals and communities.
Right now, buying and giving out Bibles is essential because there are a lot of people who are searching for the truth now. One of their friend’s recently got saved because recent events caused panic in his life. This caused him to question what he actually believed. He is not alone. This is just one example of how the Maryland Bible Society has an impact beyond just Maryland.
