Rapid Deployment Kits

Since 9/11/2001, Military Ministry has distributed nearly two million Rapid Deployment Kits (RDKs) to US troops:

  • RDKs contain a pocket-sized, camouflage-cover New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (Good News

    RDK spread

    Translation from the American Bible Society); an Our Daily Bread devotional guide (RBC Ministries); and a copy of the Would You Like to Know God Personally? booklet (Campus Crusade for Christ) in a waterproof bag that fits in the cargo pocket of a troop’s uniform. The requirement to allow the military member to easily carry a Bible with him or her at all times is a key to the success of the RDK ministry.

  • Every week, volunteers assemble and ship RDKs and other resources to chaplains everywhere. For many, this has become their primary personal ministry.
  • Strong demand for Bibles continues from all branches of the military. We ship an average of nearly 20,000 New Testaments and full Bibles per month.
