About Designed to Last Ministries

Sharing God's Word freely with everyone who seeks it

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
— Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)

Our Mission

At Designed to Last Ministries, we believe the Bible has the power to transform lives. Because faith comes by hearing the Word of God, we are dedicated to sharing the Bible freely with anyone who seeks it.

We exist to remove every barrier between people and God's Word. No cost. No strings attached. Just the living, active Word of God delivered to those who hunger for truth.

What We Believe

The Bible is more than a book—it's God's living Word. It is God's revelation of himself to mankind, given to guide us, comfort us, and transform us. We believe that everyone should have access to Scripture and the tools to engage with it meaningfully.

1

Be Saved

Acknowledge your sinfulness and need for a savior. Repent and believe in Jesus Christ to be reconciled to God. Salvation is the first step in your journey of faith.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16 (ESV)

2

Find a Church and Get Baptized

The Bible was never meant to be read in isolation. Find a local church family and get baptized as your first step of obedience. Scripture is best understood in the context of community, and baptism is your public declaration of faith in Christ.

"So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls." — Acts 2:41 (ESV)

3

Pray Before Reading

Before opening your Bible, pray to God. Ask Him to help you understand His Word and to show you how to apply it to your life. The Holy Spirit is your teacher and guide.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." — John 14:26 (ESV)

4

Build Daily Discipline

Establish a habit of reading your Bible daily. Consistent time in God's Word helps you build a life-long discipline of seeking after God and allowing His truth to impact your life.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." — Psalm 119:105 (ESV)

5

Get Connected

Surround yourself with other believers in your church community. Iron sharpens iron! Fellowship with other Christians strengthens your faith, provides accountability, and deepens your understanding of Scripture through study and discipleship.

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." — Proverbs 27:17 (ESV)

Our Story

Designed to Last Ministries was born from a simple conviction: everyone deserves access to God's Word.

We saw too many barriers—financial, logistical, and cultural—keeping people from the Bible. So we made it our mission to remove them. Every Bible we send is completely free. No questions asked. No strings attached.

We believe that the Gospel is meant to be shared freely, just as it was given freely to us. Our name, "Designed to Last," reflects our commitment to providing Bibles that will endure—physically, spiritually, and generationally. We want to see God's Word passed down, treasured, and lived out for years to come.

Our Impact

Every Bible we distribute is a seed planted. We trust God to bring the growth, but we're honored to be part of His work in people's lives.

How Donations Fulfill Requests

As donations come in, Bibles go out — it’s that simple and that beautiful. Every contribution helps place a Bible directly into the hands of someone who’s been waiting to receive one.

This project is fully community-funded, which means together, we’re making it possible for lives to be touched and hearts to be changed.

If we’ve currently reached our giving capacity, don’t worry — you can join our waitlist. Requests are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis as new donations arrive. The moment funds are available, we’ll ship your Bible with love and prayer.

Thank you for being part of this mission — your generosity keeps hope moving forward, one Bible at a time. 💛
