The Every Breath Bible Mission

Our mission is simple: ACCESS.

We believe that anyone who desires a Bible should have access to one, regardless of their ability to pay. Before there was a mail club, before there was a website, there was a prayer and a desire to help put God's Word into someone's hands.

Before any of this existed

It started at 3 a.m.

Before there was The Word & Whimsy Post, before I had a name for this mission or any idea what it might become, there was a night on my kitchen floor that I will never forget.

It was around 3 a.m., and I was in a season of my life where grief and gratitude were somehow living in the same heart. I had recently welcomed my youngest daughter into the world, and while there was so much to be thankful for, there was also a heaviness I was learning to carry after losing my mom. Some nights, I didn't have the words to pray the way I wanted to. But I knew how to worship. And that night, sitting on my kitchen floor, that's exactly what I did. 

I wish I could tell you that I got up from that floor with everything figured out. I didn't. But I remember what it meant to reach for God in a moment when I needed Him so deeply. And I think about how precious it is that I could open my Bible, read His promises, and be reminded of who He is, even when I was struggling to make sense of what I was walking through.

Somewhere in that season, God began placing something on my heart that I couldn't seem to put down: I wanted to give people Bibles.

I kept thinking about the person who wants to know Jesus but doesn't know where to begin. The person who has been wanting a Bible but cannot afford one. The person who might be going through their own difficult season, longing for answers, comfort, truth, or simply a way to draw closer to God.

And I kept coming back to one thought: If someone wants a Bible, why shouldn't they be able to have one?

I didn't know how I was going to make it happen. I didn't have the money to give away hundreds of Bibles, a team of people ready to help, or some beautifully organized plan. I was just a woman with three daughters, a heart that loved Jesus, and a desire I believed the Lord had placed there.

And maybe that's what makes this part of the story so special to me. God wasn't asking me to show Him everything I could accomplish. I was learning to trust Him with what was already in my hands.

That desire became the Every Breath Bible Mission, rooted in Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!”

I don't know the names of everyone this mission will reach. I don't know how many Bibles we'll give away or how many doors God will open. But I know why I want to begin.

Because somewhere, someone is praying to the same God I cried out to on that kitchen floor. And if I can help put His Word into their hands, even if it's just one Bible, then that one Bible matters.

This is where the story began. And by God's grace, we're only getting started. ♡

With love, Ronnie ♡

The Scripture behind the mission

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!

PSALM 150:6 · ESV

Psalm 150:6 became the Scripture at the heart of this mission. Every breath is a gift from God, and every person matters to Him. My prayer is that more people would have the opportunity to open His Word, learn who Jesus is, and come to know Him for themselves.

I cannot make someone believe. I cannot change a heart. But I can help make sure that a Bible is not the thing standing between someone and the opportunity to read His Word.

The heart of what we do

Access. That's the mission.

If someone desires a Bible and does not have one, we want to help change that. It really is that simple.

The Every Breath Bible Mission exists to provide Bibles at no cost to people who desire one. 

We currently serve U.S. mailing addresses only, and requests are fulfilled as donated Bibles and shipping funds become available.

Some Bibles will go to individuals. Others may go to groups or organizations helping people encounter Scripture. The destination may look different, but the heart behind every Bible remains the same.

We are not here to make promises about how someone's story will unfold after a Bible arrives. That belongs to God. We simply want to be faithful with the opportunity to help place His Word in their hands.

The prayer that keeps us going

Until all
have heard.

Those four words are bigger than anything I could accomplish on my own. And I know that. But I also know that a mission doesn't have to begin with thousands of Bibles to matter.

One Bible matters. One person opening Scripture matters. One opportunity for someone to read about Jesus matters.

If all we ever managed to give away was one Bible, I would still be grateful that we got to give it. But I am praying for more. More open doors. More people willing to give. More Bibles reaching the hands of people who desire them.

Not because I want to build something impressive, but because God's Word is worth sharing.

Where The Word & Whimsy Post comes in

The mission came first.
The mail came later.

The Every Breath Bible Mission came first. The Word & Whimsy Post grew from the desire to create something that could help sustain it.

I wanted to build something rooted in Scripture, filled with beauty and wonder, and made with the things God had already placed in my hands. Something that could encourage people in their own walk with Jesus while helping provide Bibles to others.

That is why 15% of every active monthly membership supports the Every Breath Bible Mission.

When someone joins the mail club, they receive a letter from me, a little Scripture, beauty, and whimsy in their mailbox. And through that membership, they help make God's Word accessible beyond their own home.

But the mission is bigger than the mail club. You never have to purchase a Post to request a Bible, and you never have to join the club to sponsor one.

There's a place for you here

You can be part of this story.

Maybe you're here because you need a Bible. Maybe you're here because you'd love to help someone else receive one. Either way, I'm grateful you found your way here. There is room for both receiving and giving in this mission.

02 / GIVE

Help place His Word in someone's hands.

You don't have to join the mail club to be part of this mission. You can sponsor Bibles separately and help make Scripture accessible to someone who desires it.

Every gift helps support the work of providing Bibles and getting them where they're needed.

A little note from my heart

We're only at
the beginning.

I'm writing this while we're still at the very beginning. There are so many things I don't know yet. I don't know how many Bibles we'll be able to give, how far this mission will reach, or what doors God may open along the way.

I'm learning as I go. I'm building with what I have. I'm trying to be faithful with what God has placed on my heart, even when I cannot see what comes next.

And I think there's something beautiful about inviting you into the story now, before there are big numbers to celebrate or years of photographs to look back on.

You're seeing the beginning of my "YES" to the Lord.

I can't wait to see what God does with it. And even if it looks nothing like what I imagine today, my prayer is that I remain faithful to the reason I started.

Thank you for being here, for reading this story, for praying for this mission, and for every Bible you may help place into someone's hands.

Until all have heard. ♡

With love and a whole lot of faith,
Ronnie ♡

God’s Word is a gift that keeps on giving. ♡
