Association of Christian Ministries to the Blind

Statement of Purpose

The ACMB are an informal association of Christian Ministries which agree to work together for each others 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.

Assemblies of God National Center for the Blind
The Assemblies of God National Center for the Blind serves people of all denominations and faiths. Services include a Braille and cassette lending library and nondenominational evangelistic material such as "The Book of Hope" on cassette and in Braille, and the descriptive "Jesus" video. Certificate level Berean University courses are available on cassette for those wishing to increase their Bible knowledge through distance education. Most Assemblies of God periodicals such as "Heritage," "Woman's Touch," "Club Connection," and "High Adventure," and the Sunday school quarterlies and teacher's guides are also available. The library has an increasing number of children's books that include print and Braille combinations. Most services are free to the recipient.

Braille Bibles International
Braille Bibles International's mission is to reach and teach the blind through God's Holy Word and other materials in Braille. We currently provide Braille Bibles to blind individuals free of charge. There are three Bibles available: The New King James Version, The Beginner's Bible and The Children's Bible in 365 Stories. We have recently assumed the ministries of Christian Services for the Blind and will begin producing the Decision Magazine in Braille and other services that they provided.

Care Ministries, Inc.
CARE Ministries Inc., as a channel of Christ's love, provides information, spiritual support and community resources to people who are blind or visually impaired. CARE Ministries helps connect people who are blind with services and materials that will help them know Christ and grow in their faith. Services include a toll free number, technical assistance to churches, a library of accessible materials such as Christian books, devotionals and teaching tapes, and the DAVID Project, which is an online catalog of accessible Christian materials from several different organizations.

Clearer Vision Ministries, Inc. has been dedicated to making God's Word accessible to people with disabilities since 1979. This is done primarily through our Recording Ministry, providing quality Christian material on cassette to print impaired individuals and through disability awareness and education events for communities and churches.

Lutheran Blind Mission
Lutheran Blind Mission (LBM) serves people of all faiths with care and compassion, especially those wanting to strengthen their faith in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. LBM provides materials and leadership for Christian communities among the blind 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! LBM provides Braille, large-type and audiocassette magazines and devotional materials, which are available free of charge through its large lending library. Since one of the biggest problems among blind people is illiteracy, LBM offers a Christian curriculum to teach people how to read Braille. LBM has founded the Christian Blind Institute-a faith-based correspondence school to train blind people to be Christian leaders. LBM also sponsors outreach centers, where blind people share God's compassion with one another. LBM is an independent organization affiliated with The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, a Christian denomination with a rich heritage of reaching out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

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.
