Mission: Christian Library International (CLI) exists to glorify the Triune God by providing books, Bibles and other Christian resources to adult and youth inmates for the purpose of turning their hearts to Him through Jesus Christ in love and faithful service.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nChristian Library International distributes Christian books, free of charge, to over 900 US prisons, jails and youth detention centers.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOur books are donated by churches, Sunday schools, individuals, Christian publishers and Christian authors. All major Christian authors have made book donations to CLI.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nEvery spring, churches all over the US conduct Christian book drives. We work closely with churches and Christian radio stations to collect as many Christian books as possible. We ask that all the books be sent here to Raleigh for sorting and processing. Currently, we send out about 100,000 books per year.Since we stamp all our books, we receive touching letters every week from prison inmates requesting Bibles or more information. We also have our own correspondence Bible study.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWe are financed by monthly donors and an annual author-dinner. Our speakers have been Pat Robertson, Elisabeth Elliot, Evelyn Christenson, Gary Chapman, fiction author Davis Bunn and prison ministry expert Lennie Spitale.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nChristian Book Drives<br />\r\nSo often we hear that people have Christian books to donate but don\'t know where to send them. BBN, Moody and K-LOVE radio have carried CLI public service announcements and in 2007, Today\'s Christian Woman magazine carried a CLI PSA to encourage Christian books donations to CLI. The response from these PSAs has been outstanding. We are now receiving Christian book donations, almost daily, from all over the country.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe CLI website always has the latest photos, newsletter and the latest news. www.cli-nc.org/<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWe pray for your favorable response.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25:36
