The Need for Hope is Great
More than 180 million people around the world are experiencing life with a visual impairment. Among these, 45 million are blind and 135 million have only partial sight. There are countries where less than 10% of blind persons are literate. In a number of countries, less than 15% of blind children receive an education.
Lutheran Braille Workers (LBW) is one of the largest providers of Christian Braille and specialized Large Print in the world. All publications by LBW are offered without charge and are made possible through the efforts of thousands of faithful volunteers. These volunteers, located in about 200 Work Centers throughout the United States and Canada, produce more than 250,000 volumes of material each year. Their gifts of time and our generous donors make it possible to send Christian material in more than 30 languages to visually impaired people in more than 120 countries.
You are invited to join the thousands of volunteers, contributors and readers in the service of our Lord Jesus by helping people touch the promises of Jesus.
