Lutheran Braille Evangelism Association
"And that having the eyes of your heart full of light,
you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth
of the glory of his heritage in the saints." (Ephesians 1:18 BBE)
LBEA MISSION
The Lutheran Braille Evangelism Association (LBEA) is a non-profit ministry, founded
in 1952 by the blind Lutheran pastor John Gustav Erickson. Its mission is to provide
Scripture and other Christian materials to blind and sight impaired persons all
over the world. The ministry is evangelical in its thrust and was begun and continues
to be centered around its motto of "Helping the Sightless See the Savior." Today,
under the leadership of Rev. Dennis and Barbara Hawkinson, LBEA searches for every
way it can to fulfill its mission to communicate the message of Christ in
braille, large print,
audio tape and CD, and also in digital format through the
popular hand-held talking BibleCourier,
which now comes with two complete Bibles in the one unit.
This is a double value at the same subsidized cost of only $75.
LBEA PUBLICATIONS
LBEA publishes a braille magazine called "Tract Messenger" which is sent free of
charge to hundreds of blind persons through out the United States and in more than twenty
overseas lands. It also publishes The "Christian Magnifier" in either large print or on
audio cassette, which it sends eleven times each year to thousands of sight impaired
persons all across the globe. Select
sample articles to read from the current issue of these magazines.
LBEA SUPPORT
We ask your support for this important ministry to the blind and sight impaired first of
all with prayer. Prayer power is one of the strongest forces God has given us. Please
pray regularly for LBEA. Second, we ask that you support this ministry with your financial
gifts. LBEA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity. We are neither affiliated with nor
funded by any church denomination. We depend entirely upon the gifts of individuals,
congregations, and community groups to fund this work. Your gift to LBEA may also qualify
for additional funds from the GivingPlus program from
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
If you or your group would
like more information about the LBEA ministry please request our 13 minute video for
viewing in your community.
Gifts from individuals in any amount, including bequests
and gifts of stocks, are also needed so that we can continue
"Helping the Sightless See the Savior" in the months and years ahead.
