Charity Baptist Foundation is a non-profit ministry that is entirely operated by Charity Baptist Church in Beavercreek, Ohio.  Our mission is to collect and ship Christian literature to foreign fields free of charge. The material is then distributed to missionaries and national pastors for use in churches and Christian schools.

Our warehouse is located 10 minutes from the church.  We process and store lliterature that is donated and sent to us from all over the United States.  The boxed material is maintained in our warehouse until the containers are loaded, trucked, and shipped throughout the world.

Since the late 1990's, CBF has sent millions of tracts and Bibles in over 120 containers!  Over 1 million tons of Sunday school material, schoolbooks and songbooks have made their way into the hands of Christians around the world.  Millions have be reached, thousands of churches have been planted, and thousands have been saved as a result.

What do we send?

Our focus is primarily the Philippines.  That is where the ministry began over 15 years ago.  God has kept the door wide open for shipping, and has established good pastoral leadership on the receiving end.  English is spoken throughout the Philippines and students are required to learn it.  Over the years, more than 100 containers have been sent to the Philippines, however, CBF has also shipped to the Ukraine, Nigeria, Africa, France and Romania. In 2006, we will be sending our first container to Liberia!

What about equipment?

In the past we have also sent equipment to the fields.  This included pianos, organs, sound systems, computers, copiers, printing presses, and paper cutters.  We have also shipped building supplies like tools and sawmills.  We have shipped vehicles as well.  Customs, taxes, and duty fees vary from country to country and have become very costly.  It has become more advantageous to send tons of Bibles and Christian literature (which is duty free) than to pay taxes on equipment, whereby we could have sent more literature.  As of now, CBF avoids shipping anything but printed material.

You can help!

• Do you have old Bibles laying around home that you no longer use?  Many Americans have four, five, six or more Bibles. Some go unused for years.  Did you know that many national pastors have no Bible at all?   

• Maybe your church has old songbooks packed away.  In other countries these are valuable commodities.  Bibles and songbooks are often rebound to make them usable to those who have none.

• Does your church have a Christian school?  Do you have home-schoolers with paces and books that are outdated or cannot be reused? These items are all put to use overseas. Schools are desperate for these materials. 

• Do you print Bibles or tracts that you want to give away to missions?  We are the connection to many missionaries and nationals.
   

Of course, the greatest need is the money to ship the containers. All expenses are paid by the foundation so that the material may be given completely free of charge to the missionaries and nationals who are able to use it.  Each container cost approximately $3,800, however, containers to Africa cost over $6,000.

Here's what you can do...

• Support CBF financially, or

• Pray that others will support CBF

• Pray that God will raise up a man to represent CBF as a full or part-time missionary/worker

• Send us your used or new Bibles (KJV), Sunday School material, and Christian literature
