The Chapmans searched out Bible-less homes. The story of their unique ministry
spread and its scope expanded. The Chapmans soon realized they would need help.
To meet the demands for Scriptures from all over the country,
Chapman called on local congregations to reach the unreached.
Limiting themselves to the role of supplier, the Chapmans depended
on local churches and organizations to identify needs within
their own communities and then to organize the actual placement
of the Bibles.
As news of Chapman’s crusade spread,
this door-to-door ministry soon developed into The American
Home Bible League,
from there into The World Home Bible League, and eventually
into the Bible League, as it is known today.
Betty Chapman passed away in October of 1999, but she had
been involved in the ministry until just a few weeks before
her death.
