After many months of discussion and hard work, we are finally ready to roll out the changes to the Bibles Cover The Earth program!  This issue of the newsletter will be dedicated to describing the main changes and upgrades to the program.   
Let’s start from the beginning.

1.       The embossing kit and hot stamp embossing machine will become optional.  We found that many people we've talked to about the Bibles Cover The Earth program are very interested in providing Bibles to people who need them but were hesitant to do much embossing.  Some people loved it, but many were just not interested.  The embossing machine will still be available separately through the shopping cart.  Because the emphasis will be less on the embossing of Bibles and more on the donation and distribution of Bibles, participants in the business opportunity will now be called Distributors instead of Embossing Centers. 

2.       The enrollment fee will change from $350 to $125.  Because the embossing machine will be optional, the enrollment fee can be decreased which should make the program more appealing to a larger portion of the population.  With enrollment, new Distributors will receive a Bibles Cover The Earth Instructional Manual which will outline all aspects of the program and give instruction on how to grow their Bibles Cover The Earth business and “Spread the Word”.  Just as before, new Distributors will receive access to their own replicated Bibles Cover The Earth website and shopping cart.

3.       As a part of the sign up process, new Distributors will create a Bible Pack Autoship order.   As a reminder, an “Autoship order” refers to the designation of a monthly recurring order of something from the shopping cart.  In the case of this Autoship order made at the time of sign-up, the new Distributor will choose from among 10 different Bible Pack options (each Bible Pack choice will be comprised of 2 Bibles of the persons choosing).  New Bible Pack options will become available as new versions are requested and made available through the Bibles Cover The Earth program.  It is important to note that this Autoship order can be cancelled at any time after the initial sign-up process is completed.

4.       The new emphasis of the program will be getting Bibles distributed to the various Bible Outreach programs associated with Bibles Cover The Earth.  As  before, Distributors have the option of receiving their Bibles at their regular shipping address.  However, now Distributors also have the option of letting us know at the home office to instead send their purchased Bibles directly to one of the Outreach programs.  This is just a way to make it easier for people to participate in the Autoship program and in the Bible Outreach programs.  This will help people stay active in the program while avoiding the hassle of finding somewhere or someone to send their Bibles to each month.

5.       Donations can now be made through the program to purchase Bibles for the various Outreach programs.  Donations can be made by anyone, even if they are not involved with Bibles Cover The Earth in any other way.   So that donations can be eligible for a tax deduction, we have partnered with Cornelius House Ministries, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) company to receive the donations.  Every penny of any donation will go exclusively to the purchasing of Bibles for the designated Outreach program. 

If you are an existing Distributor (previously called an Embossing Center) you can email the home office at ContactUs@BiblesCoverTheEarth.com to request a free electronic version of the new Instructional manual that can be reviewed and/or printed.   Or, if you would rather have a full color version (like the one to be sent to new Distributors), let us know and we will get you one.  It should be noted that existing Distributors are not required to change anything other than being sure they understand the aspects of the new changes we've made to the program as they describe it to new potential partners.   Distributors are encouraged to read through this manual and consider attending one of the upcoming Bibles Cover The Earth meetings we are planning, so that you can be well versed in details of the new program.  And, as always, feel free to email us at the above address with any questions you may have.
