Bible Visuals International exists to support Christians in evangelizing and discipling children by supplying quality teaching tools and relevant training to ministry partners worldwide.
Founded in 1959, BVI has been supplying children’s ministry teachers with affordable, accessible, and adaptable resources for over 65 years. What began as an offshoot of a local outreach ministry has since grown and expanded to a thriving resource ministry with a unique emphasis on international and cross-cultural children’s ministry. Our collection of Bible lessons, stories, biographies, hymns, and more has been translated into over 70 languages and is currently used in over 90 countries by missionaries, national churches, and everyday Christians.
In addition to equipping teachers for discipling children, BVI is also passionate about equipping parents. The Bible is clear that discipleship should start in the home (Deuteronomy 6:7), but many parents don’t know where to start. Our Family Worship Series is a simple guide to modeling worship at home by reading straight from God’s Word together. Currently, we have three published volumes, and more are in production. This series has been well-received, and many of our international partners are requesting translations for the families they work with, as many of them have never experienced family devotions or similar practices. Some volumes have already been translated into Arabic, Spanish, and Mongolian, and translation work is ongoing!
As part of our commitment to serving the global church, BVI has ongoing partnerships and licensing agreements with missionaries and organizations in various regions around the world. These partnerships are part of the core of BVI’s values—our goal isn’t just to produce and distribute teaching resources, but also to be actively engaged with and provide support to the people using them. These partnerships include a growing network of Bible clubs currently operating in over 35 public schools in Papua New Guinea, a publishing company based in Lebanon that supplies Christian literature in Arabic throughout the Middle East and North Africa, a thriving children’s ministry in India that reaches tens of thousands of kids every year through VBS and other programs, and a small network of first-generation churches in Mongolia—and these are just highlights! Every year, we are amazed to see the doors the Lord opens to expand the reach of our materials, and it is always a joy to hear testimonies and anecdotes from both our long-term partners and one-time customers.
Whether we’re producing a new missionary story, leading teacher training sessions, donating books to local ministries, or shipping out orders, our goal is always to “help children see Jesus.”
