Praise God!
We Are In The New Building
We started operating out of the new building on January 12th. It has
taken longer and cost more than we expected, but praise the Lord we’re
in the building! After becoming the director of this ministry in September
of 2007, I did not think that life could get any more complicated, but it
did! Since the regular Tri-Annual Board of Director’s meeting in February of 2014, when the board voted to purchase this building, my twelve
hour, seven day a week schedule went to sixteen hours a day, eight days a
week. It may not have been quite eight days
a week but it sure has seemed like it! But
now that we are in the building, I can say
“It has been worth it all”! Every hour and
every dime! What a blessing! What a miracle! What a wonderful
tool the Lord has provided to enable us to
be more efficient and
more productive for
Him! We cannot begin
to adequately thank
everyone for your
prayers, for every contribution and for every one of you
who have given
financially to
the purchase of
this beautiful
building! Thank
you!
The devil has fought us every day and every inch of the way, but God
has been faithful so we especially want to praise and thank Him for His
bountiful blessings upon this ministry! When we say that God has been
so good, that is an understatement! At that same February board meeting the board also discussed the possibility of upgrading our web press
from 32 page signature to 48 page signature but it looked doubtful as we
didn’t have the additional funds to do it. Doing it while the press was being moved would be $25,000 less expensive than waiting to later but, no
dough, no go! Matter of fact, we were not sure we would be able to cover
all of our moving cost BUT, God has marvelously provided for both and we
would be in great shape accept for the cost overruns on the electrical work.
First Rolls Of Paper
Delivered To The Barn
Getting The Seed
Out Of The Barn In 2015
Many times in the Old Testament God used droughts and famines to remind His people that it would be beneficial to them and in their best interest
to cease from their sin and disobedience and to serve Him. Or, as the case
may be, in Noah’s day, more water than they could drink or as in the wilderness, more manna and fowl than they could eat! But God has a lot of ways
of getting our attention! God had promised His people in Moses’ day that
if they would serve Him He would bless their bread and water. God used
famines to move Abraham, Jacob and Joseph and to bring judgment upon
King Ahab and His people in I Kings Chapter 18 and again in II Kings 6:25.
After the 70 years of captivity King Cyrus of Persia sent a host of the people
back home to Jerusalem with instructions to rebuild the Temple, he returned
the vessels of worship that Nebuchadnezzar had taken and even provided
them with all of the materials that they would need to rebuild the Temple.
These people returned to their homeland, settled in, built their own houses
with little or no interest in the work of God or His house. God was greatly
displeased so He sent His profit, Haggai to deliver a message to them about
the situation. Consequently, God could not bless them and in Haggai chapter
one verses five and six, God said, “Consider your ways. Ye have sown much,
and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not
filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth
wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.” In verse nine “Ye looked
for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow
upon it.”
So, let us consider a spiritual application that is applicable to us as God’s
people in our day! Please consider that if our great God magnifies His Word
above His name, and He does! Then would God not care equally as much or
more about His Word as He does His house? Do you suppose that our great

or her family and those who knew her, Heaven is a much sweeter place today than it was prior to Mom’s home going on
Monday, December 8th at 10:38 AM. Like Dad, Mom had fought a good fight and finished her course and at the age
of 93 years and 5 months was ready and well deserving of a rest after her 69 years of faithful Christian service as a pastor
and missionary’s wife. She was a Christian Lady until the very end! A faithful helpmeet and lifelong partner and wife to a
dedicated and faithful man of God! They were a great team who made a tremendous impact on the lives of the hundreds
of people that Dad pastored and, an even greater impact on missions and the millions of people who have received Bibles
or Scriptures from the Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation.
hortly after Mom and Dad married in 1940, at the invitation of an older brother living in Detroit, Dad and Mom
moved there where they became active members of the Temple Baptist Church, Dr. J. Frank Norris, pastor. They left
rural Shelbyville, TN behind where there was very little job opportunities, to move to Detroit to find employment but the
Lord had a different plan and purpose for leading them there. The Lord had already been preparing Dad’s heart for a call
to the ministry but it was not until joining Temple that Dad surrendered to God’s call. Some of the things that may have
looked like coincidence at that time were in reality the hand of God working in their lives bringing them to a time and place
where they would find God’s direction and calling for their life. These influences have had a positive impact for the cause
of Christ around the world effecting the second and third generation of the Lemmon family!

Our Love For T he Word Of God
By: Phil Jones, Representative
There are many people in the world that do not have a Bible in their own language. The sad fact is even if one was available in their village or town many would
not have the money to buy it. Another sad fact is that unlike many people in the
United States if they had a Bible they would actually read it. Many of us have heard
stories from missionaries of how hungry people in many countries are to possess,
read and hear what the Word of God has for them. If the Word of God were available
in these areas many more people would have the opportunity to be saved because
we know that “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto
the simple.” (Psalms 119:130).
It is also a sad fact that the cults are running their printing presses 24 hours a day
to be able to put printed material into the hands of people around the world. While
we who have the truth, are only able to operate our presses sporadically because
of a lack of funds. If I remember correctly Pastor Mark Smith from Tacoma, Washington, said there are about 27 independent Baptist printing ministries. These ministries have different capabilities, some print tracts others print Bible portions while
some print the entire range of printed material including whole Bibles. If that is correct and your church is supporting one of them I say, Praise God and thank you for
what you are doing. But isn’t it amazing that Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation (BLMF) of Shelbyville, Tennessee, has ten Representatives that are responsible
for telling churches and individuals about the needs of the ministry in hopes of
raising funds to accomplish the work of the ministry. Several are employees of the
ministry with full time jobs that do this work on their off time but most are unpaid
volunteers with a heart for getting God’s Word into the hands of as many people
as possible. Several of the members of the Board of Directors are also available to
present the work to churches. As a representative I am not trying to raise personal
support but only support for the ministry.
Not every congregation is able to take on another ministry or missionary at
any given time, I understand that. I do believe however, that many congregations
that could make a great difference are doing little to see Bibles be sent around the
world. Many Pastors and Missions Pastors have flatly refused to even allow their
congregations to hear about the great work of these printing ministries. Often we
are not able to talk with Pastors because their secretary screens their calls, this
might be because of the Pastor’s overload, or even health issues and the fact that
he is bombarded by request for support; but how else are we to inform you of what
we are doing? Sometimes our calls are not returned or responded to. Some Churches
support several missionaries but then even though they are able, will not support a
work that will also help these same missionaries do an even greater work while on
the field by helping to provide printed material they can give to the people, to me
this is sad not only for the missionary but also for the people they minister to.
If enough Pastors and Christians would give a little, the ministry of BLMF would
be able to operate with no representatives while printing Bibles on a more regular
basis. Brother Bobby (Robert Lemmon Jr., Director) told me recently that BLMF only
has enough regular support for about half of its operating budget; most of the printing and distribution is accomplished through special or one time gifts and volunteer
labor. Praise God for those gifts and the people with a heart to give them and those
that come and work.
At this time the ministry is struggling to get moved into the new building that
will save many hours of labor because we will not have to move material and equipment around the plant or across town to get work done. With hopes of getting the
web press operating in the next few days we have request for 6 containers of Bible
from around the world but there is little paper on hand and even less money to buy
more. My Pastor is hoping we will be able to soon print Bibles for India; the funds are
already on hand for this project. There is still a lot of work to get all the presses into
the building, the cost and labor needed for this job has shocked me. For example a
crew of engineers from North Carolina has been working since October to move the
web press and get it operational and improved (it was modified during the move to
increase the number of pages in each signature or section) the modifications made
during the move will reduce the printing time and collating time by one third. But
just imagine the cost of that expense alone.
How can you help? Every church has a need for printed materials; BLMF can
satisfy every one of these needs. The advantage of allowing BLMF to provide your
printed material is that the profits are used to print and distribute Bibles. Even if
your church is not able to take on another ministry at this time you are still able
to support the work while satisfying your own needs for printed material. If you

New Address
Please use the ministries new address at 2101 Highway 231 South, Shelbyville,
TN 37160-6718! The workers at our local US post office in Shelbyville are
wonderful, efficient, caring, kind, considerate and courteous folks and they have
always gone out of their way to help this ministry. They are good, professional
people and I’m sure that most post offices across the country
offer the same professional services as they do here. But we
sure can’t make that boost with the whole US Postal Service.
When we started working out of the new building we immediately requested an address change to try to avoid any delays or interruptions in their mail deliveries. Well, somewhere
there was a major breakdown of their “system” and we didn’t
receive any mail for the first two weeks. When we would inquire as to the delay
their reply was always that our mail was somewhere in their “system”. Come to
find out the Nashville, TN office was returning all of the mail to the senders.
Personally, I think their “system” is broke. We only moved two miles out on the
same Hwy, what could possibly be so difficult about that! Unfortunately, we have
had similar problems with our AT&T telephone and internet service as well, what an
interesting coincidence! Thank you for your patience and understanding!
God’s Timing Is Always Right On Time!
By: Robert Lemmon, Jr
Absolutely true every time but sometime His timing doesn’t fit our preconceived schedule the same as His ways are not always our ways because His are so
much higher than ours! The pictures above are of a beautiful 23” x 29”, 5 color
Man Roland, sheet fed, offset press. A good friend of this ministry contacted us
about a month ago asking if we would be interested in purchasing this press at a
very reasonable price. Our board of directors and I all believe this opportunity is
of the Lord because it is too good to be true, and we know that the devil wouldn’t
want us to have this press! This press is immaculate inside and out, cosmetically
and mechanically. It would and should sell for $300,000 to $350,000 but it has
been offered to us for $135,000. The company that owns it needs a quick sell and
they are willing to take a loss on it in order to move it as quickly as possible.
If this press had come along a year ago or even six months ago, we would
not have had any place to put it but now we do! But financially it could not have
come at a worse time, or does God have something for us that is far above our
imagination, one of those “exceedingly abundantly” things? I had not given much
thought to the needs of this ministry beyond this larger building but, if I had a
wish list for this ministry, this press would certainly be the next item on it. I guess
it’s just another coincidence, or is it?
The greatest need of this ministry right now, in my opinion, is for additional
funding for paper and materials to enable us to grow our production this year,
working to “Get the Seed Out of The Barn”! I know that our great God owns all
of the cattle on a thousand hills but right now they are in somebody else’s pasture.
Our BLMF Web Press Has Grown Up!

hen Dad enrolled in the Bible Baptist Seminary in Fort
Worth Texas in 1945 after serving his
enlistment in the Army during WWII,
Mom worked for the seminary as Dr.
Louis Entzminger’s personal secretary to provide income for our family
of three. In 1951 our family of four
moved to Memphis, TN so that Dad
could start the Victory Baptist Church,
the first fundamental, independent,
Baptist Church there. To provide income for the family, Mom took a job
at the Sears and Roebuck Company
and later worked as the personal secretary to an attorney. When the church
was able to provide Dad a salary, Mom
quit her secular job to become the
church’s fulltime secretary (without
pay) while raising and taking care of
her three children. Mom again worked
a secular job while Dad pastored in
Fort Worth, 1966 thru 1971 so that
Dad could be a fulltime pastor until
He gave up his pastorate to travel fulltime for this ministry in 1970. When
Dad, Mom and their teenage daughter
moved to Shelbyville in 1971, mother
again took another secular job to help
support the family as Dad never received a salary from this ministry. In
1986 she retired from her last secular job to become Bible & Literature’s
bookkeeper for no salary until Dad
died August 30, 2007. She continued
on afterwards as the ministries bookkeeper but with a $100 a week salary
until her birthday, July 13, of this year
when she retired for good. It would
certainly be an accurate assumption
to say that without his loving, understanding and faithful, hard working
wife, Dad could not have been a fulltime staff member for Dr. Norris, a
fulltime pastor for 21 years and then
as the Director of this ministry for the
last 39 years of his life. In addition to
working all of her life, Mom raised
three children and taught a ladies Sunday school class during the years that
Dad pastored. She was a remarkable,
incredible Godly lady who never complained about her lot in life. She loved
the Lord, Dad, us kids, her grandkids,
her family and friends and this ministry. She is sorely missed but we can
rejoice in that she is now in a perfect
place, in perfect health, re-united with
Dad and family there. We know that
we shall see her again shortly!
od had wonderfully blessed Mom
with remarkably good health and
a very good mind for over 92 years of
her life and she had lived alone since
Dad’s home going until this past October when she moved into an assisted
living home. On Saturday morning,
December 6th she had a major stoke
from which she never regained consciousness and was escorted by the
angels from this life into her heavenly
home Monday morning December the
8th. Mom was in every way a Proverbs
31:10 Lady! We thank and praise the
Lord for His allowing us to have such
a special, precious Mother!

A Beautiful Bouquet of Bibles
In another article we have already mentioned our desire to modify our web
press to produce 48 page signatures in place of the 32 page signatures that we
have been printing in the past. Last year our theme was all about “Expanding to
Evangelize” and part two of this plan, the Lord willing, was to expand our web
press to print more pages at a time. This could be accomplished by adding an
additional web, allowing us to print 3 webs at a time in place of two. It was important however that this be done while the press was being moved so, by faith,
this has been done. This does a couple of wonderful things for us, first, we will
now have one third fewer signatures to collate in every Bible and N.T., secondly,
it cuts our press work and collation by one third. Or, as our production continues
to grow, we can increase our production by one third without adding any more
press time or collating. As a third advantage, the 48 page signatures will at sometime in the future enable us to start collating some of our Bibles on our Binder by
adding a few more pockets to it. This will cut down on some of our hand work.
$2.50
Flowers are beautiful for a short
while but they soon wilt and die
while the written Word of God,
“the Bible” abideth forever! For
several years now, Pastor Jim
Tedder and the Victory Baptist
Church, the home church of BLMF,
have made it a practice to give
Bibles instead of flowers at the
home going of a church member
or an immediate family member.
After all, when a Godly Brother or
Sister in Christ graduates this life
and experiences their new “Eternal Life” in Christ first hand, why
would we want to symbolize their
new life in Christ with something
that will die? So, let’s choose life
over death and give a gift in their
memory that will keep on living
both on the printed page and in
the hearts of those who receive it!
A Bible is a gift that not only produces but symbolizes life. A gift
that will bring true, abundant Life
to the recipient when and if it is
read and applied to their lives. For
less than the price of a beautiful
bouquet of flowers you can send
a case of English Bibles for $60.00
(24 Bibles @ $2.50 each) to a foreign mission field to be given away
FREE to those who do not have a
Bible.
In an effort to make it easier for
you and others in your church to
sponsor Bibles in place of flowers,
BLMF will provide your church,
upon request, an attractive display
containing a request envelope, acknowledgement card & envelopes
and instructions. In every Bible
that is given in memory or in honor of, we insert an acknowledgment in the front, with the name
of the one the Bible is in memory
of, their date of birth, and date of
their home going and the name of
the church or individual giving the
Bible.
Occasionally, Christian couples
will include a portion of their estate in their will to be used to
produce and distribute Bibles as a
way of carrying on a ministry and
a work for Christ after their death.
Occasionally the surviving family
members will designate a portion
of their inheritance as a living memorial to the one leaving them an
inheritance.
Pastor Tedder dedicates the
Sunday evening worship service,
the Sunday following the funeral
in memory of a member’s home
going and at the close of the service, church members, friends
and loved one are given an opportunity to make a contribution
for Bibles. In 2014, Victory Baptist
Church has contributed $5,646.66
through memorials.

Every Christian should consider it an
honor to have a part in this ministry,
“The Lord gave the word: great was the
company of those that published it.”
(Psalms 68:11). I beg everyone, especially pastors, to consider publishing God’s
Word in some way other than just using
your voice. Reaching outside the range
of your voice gives access to an audience that is larger than you can imagine.
Production &
Distribution Report
Since January 1st, through the
regular, faithful financial support
and contributions for paper and
Bible sponsors from your churches, “Scripture-Producing Partners”, this ministry has received
$117,204.10 designated for Scriptures. From these funds we have
purchased 3 trailer loads of paper,
printed 50,000 English New Testaments and 25,000 English Old Testaments, and shipped 59,681 Bibles
and Scriptures in 6 languages to six
different countries. We have spent
$85,948.94 for 2 trailer loads of paper and ink, with a $33,500 bill for
the third trailer load of paper due
next week. These funds have allowed us to purchase enough paper
to get the web back up and running, but they are not sufficient to
run for very long. As these projects
begin to come off the press, we will
need to purchase the cover stocks,
glues and shipping cost that it will
require to bind, trim, finish them
and the freight to get them to the
foreign field.
On behalf of all of your friends
and workers here at BLMF, we
want to thank all of you for your
prayers and faithful financial support of this ministry. And, to extend a very special “Thank You” to
a precious pastor and church and
to a kind and generous businessman who have sponsored trailer
loads of paper recently. Somehow,
some way, God always provides!
With the web press down for
several weeks, the last container
that we shipped was 43,000 bilingual English/Tagalog N.Ts. in December to missionaries, Roger and
Cheryl Riley in the Philippines.
Beside the satisfaction of getting
the precious Word of God into the
hands of those who do not have it
and fulfilling your duty as a church
to produce and distribute God’s
Word, there are a couple other benefits to your being a regular partner
in this ministry. Partner churches
receive 15% off of all personalized printing, and your church can
obtain all Bibles, N.Ts and Bible
portions from us at cost (mission
price).
Reaching The People of This Generation in This Generation!
1,008 Paper Roll Sponsors Needed!
When Linda and I married in 1962
our rent was $75.00 a month, and
our utilities were $20.00 a month;
we spent $10.00 a week for groceries, bread was twenty cents a loaf,
and gasoline was nineteen cents a
gallon. In 1972 thru 1975 we produced New Testaments for twentyfive cents each, and by 1978 when
we started printing whole Bibles,
I think the cost was somewhere
around $1.38 each. (Cost of paper
and materials, NO labor or overhead included.)
Amazingly, in the past 46 years,
the cost of the Scriptures that we
are producing now has only increased by 2.5 times compared to
increases of ten times or more for
practically everything else like rent,
milk, bread and gasoline, etc. There
have been much larger increases
on a lot of things like automobiles,
houses and building materials, especially electrical! In the past eight
years, light weight Bible paper has
increased from sixty-two cents per
pound to the current seventy-eight
and a half cents per lb, or about
26.6% increase, while our inks,
plates and glues have increased by
fifty percent. Forty years later, the
twenty-five cent New Testament is
now sixty cents, and the $1.35 Bible
is now $2.25. Or, for $2.50 we can
place one of these English Bibles
in the hands of a person on the
foreign mission field who does not
have one. This
is a bargain by
anyone’s stanIndia
dards! It just
adds up to a
lot of money
when you multiply the quan-
tity by 600,000 Bibles or 2.3 million New Testaments or 10,000,000
Bible portions. But, if we are going
to make an honest effort to try to
reach the masses with the Gospel in
our generation, then we must start
producing and distributing millions
and billions of Scriptures every year
instead of thousands! The question
is, “When are we going to get serious about reaching the people of
this generation, in this generation?”
In order to accomplish this task
we must be rich toward God, Luke
12:21. We are not going to accomplish the task while sitting on the
sidelines or without some personal
and financial sacrifice!
In order to produce 2.5 million
Bibles and Scriptures this year, we
need to raise $1.5 million dollars
for the paper and materials. We’re
not asking anyone to give it all, just
asking that everyone do something!
Over $800,000 of the $1.5 million
will go to purchase paper, and 70%
of the paper
Africa
will go to print
whole Bibles!
We currently have several
requests for
containers of
Scriptures: a Jerrold & Karen Myers
container of
English New
Testaments and Bibles for Brother
Jerrold and Sister Karen Myers serving in South Africa, a request for
Creole Bible portions for a national
pastor in Haiti; a container of English Bibles for Brother Ed Stanley
with a missionary helps ministry to
be distributed in Kenya and the Sudan; a container of Kannada Bibles
for a national pastor friend, Brother
“We’d Love To
Share!”
Bhasme Isaac for India, and we have
requests from three Scripture distribution ministries for containers; a
container of Spanish Scriptures for

Testaments and Bible portions to

ministries
is requesting
anything that we can supply them with
for Pakistan, Romania, Poland and
other European counties. In addition we have many requests for
smaller quantities: Shona New Testaments for Brother Anthony Eubanks for Zambia, and Brother Jose
Morale wants English Bibles for the
Philippines.
Would you and your church consider being a regular financial partner in this ministry as a “Scripture
Producing Church” or as an annual
“Paper Roll Sponsoring Church?”
We need 1,008 roll sponsors this
year at $785.00 per roll. The lighter
weight paper that we use to print
whole Bible is a little more expensive than heavier weights of paper,
but the yield is also greater and the
shipping costs less. These rolls will
produce 500 English Bibles or 2,000
English New Testaments or 16,000
Bible portions; the yield on other
languages may vary slightly. Oh!
Please remember that for every roll
of paper, it takes another $350 to
pay for the plates, inks, glues and
cover stocks.
