October 2017 – Partnering with Revival Fires International (revivalfires.org), American Family Radio (afr.net) listeners recently provided 63,700 free New Testaments for students to give to unsaved friends at school. The 17th annual week-long promotion in August broke the 2016 record of 63,174.

In addition to the Scripture, Truth for Youth New Testament contains 100 pages of comic stories regarding issues teens face, e.g., sexual purity, abortion, pornography, evolution, drugs, drunkenness, peer pressure, school violence, suicide, bullying, sexting, and more. Students’ “Legal Rights on Public School Campuses” on the back cover informs school administrators and teens that they have the right to give Bibles away on campus during non-instructional time.

Over the past 20 years, the Truth for Youth Bible campaign has given more than 2.5 million copies of the New Testament to teenagers.
