Greetings from Team 316! Spring is in full swing here in Southern California!

Conferences

The past few months have been full of excitement as we joined many friends at conferences all over the country! Here is our conference recap:

February 2025: The Courageous Churchmen Conference – Jupiter, FLWe were thrilled to join our friends at Grace Immanuel Bible Church in Jupiter, FL for the 2025 Courageous Churchmen Conference! This was our team’s first year attending, and we were thankful for the opportunity to share the LSB with new friends.

March 2025: Shepherds Conference & AIG’s Answers for Men Conference

We traveled to Sun Valley, California once again for the 2025 Shepherds Conference. Each of the 5,500 attendees received a free copy of the One with a Shepherd: The Tears and Triumphs of a Ministry Marriage.

During the week of the conference, we hosted our second annual LSB Celebration Dinner, where we shared exciting LSB updates, hosted a Q&A panel, and enjoyed a great time of fellowship.

At the end of March, the team headed to Kentucky for Answers in Genesis’ first-ever Men’s Conference: Answers for Men. Over 2,000 men attended, and each received a copy of the softcover LSB Daily Reading Bible. It is a profound privilege to be part of equipping these men with a faithful translation of the Word of God!

April 2025: AIG’s Resolute: Answers for Women - Williamstown, KY
Right after returning from AIG’s Answers for Men Conference, team 316 flew right back to Kentucky the following week for the Resolute: Answers for Women conference. Over 2,500 women gathered at the Ark Encounter to enjoy fellowship and to hear powerful messages from speakers like Costi Hinn, Ken Ham, and Doreen Virtue. Each woman in attendance received a free copy of The Handbook For Praying Scripture by Dr. William Varner.

LSB Celebration Dinner at ShepCon

As previously mentioned, we hosted our 2025 annual LSB Celebration Dinner during Shepherds Conference. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate all that Yahweh has done in 2024.

During the evening, we had a wonderful time of fellowship and shared exciting updates with everyone in attendance. One highlight was that we were able to share about the amazing opportunities the Lord has opened up for the Legacy Bible Foundation to bless the global Church with free Bibles and resources.

Additionally, we were excited to announce the results of our 2025 LSB Survey. Of the three different editions that were up for consideration to be released next, you chose the LSB Handy Size Inside Column Reference! You can find more details about this new edition below. We appreciate everyone who was able to participate in the survey. We are grateful that we are able to create more layouts of the LSB that will bless His people!

We also announced that our stationery line, Bella Paper, will be rebranded in the coming months with the new name: Bella Scriptura.

One of the main reasons for this change is that the name Bella Scriptura better represents what the product line is—beautiful stationery and gifts focused on Scripture. All of our new designs in the Bella Scriptura line will include Scripture either from the LSB or the NASB95. New items are scheduled to arrive later this year!

We also had the privilege of hosting a ministry Q&A panel with our friends Alexander Strauch, Jerry Wragg, and Conrad Mbewe. We were blessed by their insight in ministry as they encouraged and challenged the attendees from their decades of pastoral wisdom.

We are already looking forward to next year’s Dinner—we hope that you can join us!

LSB Adventure Club Curriculum

During Shepherds Conference, we visited our friends at Grace Curriculum and previewed the highly anticipated Adventure Club Curriculum in the LSB in person!

Each of the 5,500 pastors in attendance at ShepCon received an Adventure Club Teacher Book featuring the LSB in their book boxes to take back to their congregations. We’re excited to announce that the Adventure Club Curriculum in the LSB is now available for purchase!

Not only is the entire curriculum available in the LSB, but an EXCLUSIVE Adventure Club Kid’s Bible is now available in the LSB.

Adventure Club exists to glorify God by evangelizing the next generation. It’s a midweek evening program delivering the Gospel through systematic theology to children ages 3–11.

PREORDERS NOW OPEN!

Free To Be Holy - By Jerry Wragg & Paul Shirley

We’re excited to announce preorders of a new book from Jerry Wragg, co-authored with Paul Shirley, titled Free To Be Holy. This is a revised and updated edition of his 2019 book of the same title.

Jerry Wragg has served as Senior Pastor at Grace Immanuel Bible Church in Jupiter, Florida, since 2001. He is also President of The Expositors Seminary. Previously, Jerry served in various roles in California, including Dean of Enrollment at The Master’s College, Faculty Associate in Homiletics at The Master’s Seminary, Pastor to Family Ministries at Grace Community Church, and Personal Assistant to Dr. John MacArthur.

Paul Shirley is the Pastor of Grace Community Church in Wilmington, DE. He and his wife, Elyse, were married in 2005 and have three children.

“Some Christians have believed that communion with God is somehow a higher goal than striving to be holy like our Lord. But this confuses the issue. Make no mistake, to be holy is to commune with God in the fullness of His joy (John 15:10–11; 17:13, 17). … To be holy as He is holy is to enjoy perfect communion with Him, and eternal communion with Him demands that we be made completely holy (Heb 12:14).” - Adapted from Chapter 12

Preorder sale pricing is now available and books are expected to arrive in our warehouse in June!

The Legacy Bible Foundation exists to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe every church should have access to Bible translations that faithfully reflect God’s message.

So far, LBF has donated over 50,000 Bibles to ministries around the world—praise Yahweh!

We recently acquired a few thousand copies of the LSB MacArthur Study Bible, which will soon be distributed to pastors and ministries overseas who lack access to Bibles. This work would not be possible without your generous support.

Please consider donating to help send Bibles worldwide at legacybiblefoundation.com/donate.
