Operation Worship Bible Campaign; Target: 500,000 Bibles to Troops by Christmas Operation Worship Bible Campaign; Target: 500,000 Bibles to Troops by Christmas Carol Stream, IL – Tyndale is currently releasing four new Operation
Worship Bible editions, one for each branch of the United States military. Each edition bears the distinctive camouflage
binding of the branch for which it is intended—the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps. The Operation
Worship Bible, a special NLT edition, features a camouflage inscription page so that a personal encouraging message or
prayer can be written in each Bible before it is sent to United States military personnel serving our country in distant lands.
The 2009 goal is to provide a total of half a million Operation
Worship Bibles for free distribution to our nation’s military by Christmas of 2009. The print run of Operation
Worship Bibles has exceeded 600,000 units, and early sales for the new releases indicate that we will again meet or exceed
our goal. “People are looking for ways to make a difference. The Operation Worship campaign captured the hearts
and minds of hundreds of thousands of people eager to reach out to our nation’s military with the Word of God and to
express their appreciation for the sacrifice these young men and women are making on our behalf,” said Blaine Smith,
Associate Publisher, Tyndale.
