Learn More About This Powerful and Transformative Initiative of The Universal Church
We find the answer to healing humanity in the Word of God:
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
Countless testimonies have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is only one spiritual weapon capable of transforming minds and hearts: the Word of God, which, according to Ephesians 6, is the sword of the Spirit.
The Universal Church, through the work of Universal Beyond Bars (UBB), is fully committed—with the support of its pastors, congregants, and volunteers—to distributing thousands of Bibles to inmates in prisons located in key prison states where UBB is active. This major outreach initiative is called Exchanging the Weapon.
Inmates will receive the Word of God in the form of the Bible with Annotations of Faith by Bishop Macedo, which will assist them in their study and comprehension. Their hands will hold a different “weapon”—a spiritual one that brings peace, life, transformation, healing, and salvation, and nurtures a new mind and heart.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul… (Psalm 19:7)
Only the sword of the Spirit—the Bible—has the power to heal, convert a soul, and transform a life through faith! It never returns without results because it is living and powerful.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void… (Isaiah 55:11)
Bishop Bira Joshua explains:
“When you bless someone, the Lord blesses your life. This August, The Universal Church, with its pastors, assistants, and congregants, has engaged in donating Bibles. We are calling it ‘Exchanging the Weapon.’ Many people are losing their lives in these active shootings that happen all over the globe, but especially here in the USA. When we give the Bible to somebody, we save souls. We will distribute Bibles in prisons. Only in Texas, we will distribute 3,000 Bibles to save those in prisons, those in need of spiritual help.”

Give the gift that never perishes to those who are hungry and thirsty for God’s Word.
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
