Overview

Mission

(1) To encourage people to read the entire Bible; and(2) To provide exceptional resources to help them do so.

What it reported doing in 2014

Since 2002, Bible in 90 Days (BIND) has provided and enhanced curriculum, materials, video lessons, and attendant resources to churches, small groups and communities that help people read the entire Bible from cover to cover, usually in 90 days. The ministry served churches and provided scholarships to recipients ranging from prison inmates to rehab mission residents to military personnel to churches and families in need. BIND has worked to educate laity, the clergy, and the public at-large that they can read the entire Bible and describe how they will benefit from doing so.During 2013, BIND decided to wind down its operations. The programs it previously conducted are now carried on by Scripture Awakening (SA), another 501(c)(3) organization located in North Carolina. A final grant was made to SA this year for all of BIND's remaining assets and BIND formally terminated its existence in 2015.
