Project Information:
December Update:
Blue Bible Project: In early November the second shipment of Blue Bibles arrived. This included 20 pallets containing 12800 more Bibles. Already hundreds have been sent out in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
The Blue Bibles have the complete text of the KJV Bible with extra study resources and are designed to be durable, attractive and economical. They have been very popular with the first shipping container load going out within 9 months. This new printing has a few corrections and enhancements.
To make these more available we are raising another $50,000 to subsidise them when purchased in bulk. So far we have raised about $7,300 for this new shipment.
Be in touch if you would like to get Bibles for sharing or can help fund them for others to get out. We can arrange transport for any quantity to you.
Prices for these amazing Bibles are $15 each, $10 each for 5+, $6.50 each by the box of 20 and $5.00 each when ordering 8 boxes or more. There are 32 boxes per pallet. Contact us to discuss your potential order or project.

Bible Project
If there was one Book that you would want to share what would that be? Which Book would you invest time, effort and finance into?
Over the last couple of years we have been connected with an exciting large project to print a low cost, good featured, quality sharing Bible. This international project is now come to fruition.
The ‘Blue Bibles’ have the full Old and New Testaments KJV Bible text with a 9-Point font size making it clear and easily readable. The cover is a Blue soft-touch imitation leather with gold foil printing on spine. It also inlcudes two blue ribbon markers for easy use of re-finding preciouce Bible texts. With approximately 150 additional pages of study aids and information, this Bible is great for giving out to those interested in finding out more about God's word.
We have had the opportunity to get a large amount of these at their production cost.
We have received a shipping container loaded with these Bibles into New Zealand, and a second container load is on its way!
Why Blue?
A unique characteristic about the 'Blue Bible' is its colour, and also the words of Christ being Blue.
The colour blue specifically represents the Law and is used to remind us of its precepts and of the loving protection the Law gives us as ordained by our Creator.
Help Needed
We need your help to make this project most effective!
People have been using these in prison ministry, book stalls, personal sharing and other outreach and community projects.
There is a large initial outlay for these Bibles and we are aiming to raise about $50,000 to help offset shipping and printing costs which will get the Bibles down to a very affordable price.
A single Bible is available to purchase for NZ $15.00
5+ NZ $10.00
20+ NZ $6.50

Or feel free to contact us directly to learn more about this exciting project which aims to get the Best Book into the hands and homes of as many people as possible
Since the Bible is so valuable in passing the messages of truth we have ongoing projects to share these as much as possible especially in areas that have great needs. We work with individual projects and trusted contacts in each of these locations. Sometimes we work with local Bible Societies and other times we send Bibles directly from us.
There has been amazing support for this ongoing project to supply Bibles in various foreign countries as well as projects here in New Zealand, both supplying Bibles or enabling people to get them to share. As well as the needs there are also people who have a passion for sharing God's word and are willing to contri bute to support each mission field.
We aim to connect these needs and people like you who may be willing to help with a regular fund for Bible projects. Any excess funds for one project will follow over to the next.
How you can help
These projects come and are often completed fast. On this page you will see examples of completed projects. You can help by contributing to our running fund for Bible projects.

Blue Bible Updates
October 2025
A new printing with a few improvements has been completed and at present another full shipping container load (12800 Bibles) is on the water coming to New Zealand. We expect it to arrive late October. (You can look up and follow the progress of the ship Kota Lestari online). Bulk shipments are also going to Australia, the United States, England and Ireland.
Prices for these amazing Bibles will be $15 each, $10 for 5+, $6.50 each by the box of 20 and $5.00 each when ordering 8 boxes or more. There are 32 boxes per pallet. Contact us to discuss your potential order or project.
August 2025
The first part of this Blue Bible project is almost complete. Of the 11664 Bibles in the first shipment less than 950 remain (and that number is dropping daily). They have scattered like the leaves of autumn throughout the country and around the world. These Bibles, with added studies and other resources, have proved popular with study groups, prison ministries, food banks, outreach projects and individual use. We are aiming to raise $50,000 to subsidise this first shipment. We are only $8358 away from completing this funding.
We hope to have the last funds raised for the first shipment before the next arrives and will aim to raise a similar amount to help subsidise the Bibles in the next shipment. If you are passionate about sharing God’s Word consider giving to help keep these costs as low as possible. Even if you can’t give away Bibles you can help fund some for those who are!
June 2025
This Blue Bible project aims to produce and distribute an ideal sharing Bible with good features and low prices. With good size print and approximately 150 additional pages of study aids and Bible information, these Bibles have been received with excitement and scattered widely.
These are produced in bulk and are very economical and to make them even more affordable we are aiming to raise $50,000 to subsidise them. We are 4/5 of the way there with over $5600 raised since our last update and less than $11,000 to go.
11664 Bibles arrived in January and we have less than 2950 left to distribute. You can online or contact us. Pricing is just $11.00 each and as low as $4.50 in bulk.
A new printing with a few improvements is being commissioned in the next weeks and we have just committed to another full shipping container load (12800 Bibles) for New Zealand. Two containers are also being printed for Australia and the first shipment of one shipping container will be going to the United States.
We hope to have the last funds raised for our current shipment before the next arrives and we will be calculating how much we might be able to raise to help subsidise the Bibles in the next shipment.
April 2025
This project has been very busy! Over 11,600 Bibles arrived at the beginning ofthe year and we are now down to about 4,000. This Blue Bible project aims to produce and distribute an ideal sharing Bible with good features and low prices. With good size print and approximately 150 additional pages of study aids and Bible information, these Bibles have been received with excitement and scattered widely. We have mainly aimed to supply New Zealand but have also sent to the US, The Carribean, Ireland, the Pacific Islands and Australia.
February 2025
This international Blue Bible project aims to produce and distribute an ideal sharing Bible with good features and low prices.
The ‘Blue Bibles’ have the full KJV Bible text with good size print and approximately 150 additional pages of study aids and information about the Bible. The resources include a 32-part Bible study series, 104 commentary quotation by E G White, extra reading and links to more resources. Along with a nice imitation leather blue cover and blue ribbon markers, the stitch bound pages have a clear and readable font with words of Christ in blue.
This project was promoted at the camps and thousands of copies have already begun to be distributed. We have had international interest in these Bibles and we are subsidising them so that more can be shared. You can help this project but either purchasing these at subsidized prices to share in your communities or you can donate to cover the subsidy so that others can afford to purchase to share.
If there was one Book that you would want to share what would that be? Which Book would you invest time, effort and finance into?
We are aiming to raise about $50,000 to get the Bibles down to $5 each by the box of 20. So far we have already raised just over half the amount needed. Any excess funds will be used to for similar Bible projects.
Contact us to learn more about this exciting project and to get the Best Book into the hands and homes of as many people as possible.

By the time we came to the ministry Monday, August 1, all 200 Bibles were paid for.
Uganda/Congo - July 2022
