The Word Within.

Bringing Christ to the Imprisoned.

Christian Library International Distributes Christian Books and Bibles to US Prisons

The mission of CLI is to bring Christ to the imprisoned. Since its founding in 1996, CLI has helped thousands of incarcerated men and women find new hope in the healing powers of Christ. With a small Christian staff and a team of devoted volunteers, CLI maintains a low overhead, ensuring that the bulk of our resources go directly to the prisons we support. Our success depends on the prayers and generosity of individual donors as well as local churches, foundations and Christian publishers.

How to Pray for Your Unsaved Loved Ones

If salvation is the work of God, our first response in seeking the salvation of someone who is lost is prayer to God that He may move upon them. View the complete document here.

A Biblical Basis for Spiritual Fasting

Spiritual fasting was practiced by God’s people throughout both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, God instructs the people to fast when facing judgment, during hardships, and at certain times of the year (e.g. the Day of Atonement). In the New Testament, we find examples of fasting amid trials and when important decisions were being made. View the complete document here.

CLI Volunteers around the office

CLI has plenty of volunteer opportunities for your church "work day", Christian school, community group, small group or class. From stamping books and tracts to packing books. Most jobs require little training.

Some group volunteers return to review inmate Bible study lessons or respond to inmate letters. We have both one-time and long-term positions.  Prison ministry is very rewarding, knowing that every book, Bible or letter has the potential to bless someone eternally.

Schedule your group by calling Jeremy at 919-212-8122.  Many groups come in the afternoon or on Saturdays.

Inmate Testimonies - May 2013

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the materials that you have faithfully donated to our chapel at Everglades C.I. The materials were well received and our inmates express their gratitude for your thoughtfulness.” Chaplain Alex Lam, Miami, FL

"I have prayed after reading your gospel tract. It was uplifting, and I thank you for printing it. I want God to run my life. I should be free next year. I am doing all I can to be an honest, positive, and good man out there in my new walk with Christ." Inmate Jeffrey, Monticello, FL

"I read your booklet on sexual sin and I must say that I learned a lot from it. Your booklet helped me in areas of my marriage that I had no idea how hurtful I might have been to my wife. I see now the importance of being more caring and loving and not cheating." Inmate Frank, NY
