Association of Christian Ministries to the Blind
Statement of Purpose
The ACMB is an informal
association of Christian Ministries which agree to work together for each
other’s benefit and toward the common goal of fulfilling the Great Commission
among people who are blind and deaf-blind.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be
the inspired and the only infallible authoritative word of God. We believe there
is only one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. We believe in the deity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His
sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed
blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father,
and His eminent personal return in both power and glory. We believe that for the
salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. We believe in
the resurrection of both the saved and the lost and that they are saved unto the
resurrection of life and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Helping Hands Braille Ministries
Helping Hands Braille Ministries is the braille outreach of Source of Light
Ministries International. Helping Hands publishes braille editions of the Bible
courses of Source of Light Ministries International so blind people can become
involved in Christ's great commission to "make disciples of all nations" and
"preach the gospel to every creature." In addition, Helping Hands publishes the
Our Daily Bread and Keys for Kids daily devotionals, hymnals, Sunday School
lesson booklets and books to enable the blind Christian to participate equally
in the worship, study and teaching ministries of his/her local church.
Lutheran Blind Mission
(LBM) serves people of all denominations and faiths. It provides materials and
leadership for Christian communities among people who are blind and visually
impaired to be planted, leaders to be equipped, and believers in Christ to be
strengthened, so that blind and visually impaired people may read and share the
light of salvation seen through the cross of Jesus!
It does this in part
through a large lending library along with Christian magazines; all in Braille,
large-type and audiocassette.
Since one of the biggest
problems among blind people is illiteracy, LBM offers a Christian curriculum to
teach people how to read Braille. The tough questions of “Why am I blind?” and
“Where is god?” are addressed. As people learn to read Braille they do so with
God’s Word.
LBM also sponsors outreach
centers, a gathering of people who are blind by the help of trained local
congregations. Here people who are blind share God's compassion with one
another. To make this happen a training school has been established to equip
people who are blind: The Christian Blind Institute.
This is a faith-based
correspondence school to train blind people to be Christian leaders.
Our Mission is to provide the message of salvation, through faith in Jesus
Christ to individuals who are blind or visually impaired throughout the world.
We do this by providing the Word of God freely to people who are blind or
visually impaired has been the focus of Lutheran Braille Workers since it was
founded in 1943. The work has grown from producing titles in a single language
to 30 languages; and the volunteer work force has grown from one volunteer
working out of a shoebox in her home to more than 5000 volunteers in about 200
work centers across the United States!
Spoken Word Ministries is a non-profit ministry whose mission is to reach
those who are blind and visually impaired with free accessible materials that
help those who do not know God to gain a relationship with Him and helps blind
Christians to grow in their Christian faith.
We have Christian resources in Braille, tape and large print formats to
serve the special needs of the blind and visually impaired throughout the world.
We also provide personal ministry and
prayer support, as well as information and referral services to the blind
themselves and to the friends and family of those who are blind.
Tape Ministries NW is a
non-profit library of Christian books on tape, loaned free of charge to people
who are blind, visually impaired, and physically or developmentally disabled.
Our goal is to share the gospel and the pure joy of reading through books that
inspire, entertain, and provide encouragement, comfort, and hope. Our books,
including the daily devotional Our Daily Bread, are mailed to patrons in their
homes. Contact us at
