Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Our Mission & Vision

Redeployed Faith exists to recover and redistribute Bibles to service members, veterans, outreach organizations, recovery programs, and individuals in need, ensuring that the Word of God is never wasted but instead placed intentionally into the hands of those seeking hope, guidance, and spiritual foundation. Our mission is rooted in faith, stewardship, and service, with a commitment to making Scripture accessible to those navigating difficult seasons of life.

Our vision is to build a consistent and reliable outreach network that not only distributes Bibles, but also serves as a source of encouragement, direction, and long-term support for the communities we serve. We believe that faith has the power to restore hope, strengthen lives, and help guide individuals toward renewed purpose and stability.

Our Story

Redeployed Faith began with a simple but powerful realization during Marine Corps recruit training. Throughout boot camp, Bibles were made available to recruits and, for many, became a source of strength, encouragement, and stability during one of the most physically and mentally demanding periods of their lives. In an environment built on pressure, discipline, and uncertainty, faith often became an anchor that helped many recruits continue moving forward.

At the same time, many of those same Bibles were left behind or discarded at the conclusion of training cycles. Seeing that firsthand left a lasting impression and raised an important question, how could something that brought so much encouragement and guidance to one person simply be thrown away when someone else may desperately need it?

After returning home, a small number of those Bibles were brought back with the belief that they could still serve a greater purpose. What began as a personal conviction quickly developed into a broader mission focused on recovery, redistribution, and outreach.

Today, Redeployed Faith exists to ensure that Scripture is not wasted, but instead placed intentionally into the hands of veterans, outreach organizations, recovery programs, and individuals seeking hope, direction, and a stronger relationship with God. The same Word that helped many service members endure difficult seasons now has the opportunity to continue reaching and encouraging others in their own lives.

What We Do

Redeployed Faith focuses on the collection, recovery, and distribution of Bibles through trusted outreach channels and community partnerships. Our efforts are centered on serving veterans, outreach organizations, shelters, recovery programs, and individuals seeking spiritual guidance, encouragement, and a stronger foundation in faith.

We are actively building relationships and distribution networks that allow us to provide Bibles consistently and responsibly to the communities we serve. As part of these efforts, Redeployed Faith is grateful to receive support and Bible resources through the American Bible Society while also continuing to explore opportunities to recover unused or surplus Bibles from military training environments.

Every Bible distributed through Redeployed Faith is handled with care, respect, and intentionality. Our goal is not simply distribution, but meaningful placement, ensuring that each Bible has the opportunity to provide encouragement, direction, and lasting impact in the life of the person receiving it.
