History and Vision

History

The vision for MNPM began to take shape in 1990 within a prison cell at Perryville Prison in Goodyear, Arizona. Mt Nebo was adopted into the mission program of Redemption Church (formerly East Valley Bible Church) in 1991. Books and Bibles were being sent to prisoners throughout the country. These materials were supplemented with one-on-one correspondence with the inmates that received them.

Present

We offer a 13-chapter workbook called “Fundamentals of the Faith” that allows an inmate to earn a new MacArthur Study Bible. Thousands of these are completed each year as God grounds men and women in His Word. We are the largest distributors of the (English) MacArthur Study Bible in the world. Thousands of the MSB are sent to state and federal prisoners each year.

 

The personal correspondence continues to be a valuable tool in the discipleship process for many of these believers. Again, the volume of mail continues to grow and the letters that come in are a daily validation to God’s work through the ministry.

Future

We desire to see God penetrate every prison in the country with books and materials that reflect the truth of Historic Christianity*. To have the Gospel proclaimed with boldness and integrity by those, and to those, He brings across our path. To see multitudes of prisoners brought to the Cross and given the tools and encouragement they need to learn God’s Word and apply it to their lives.
