An UnSilenced Community Project
800 Bibles of Hope
800 seats. 800 Bibles. 800 opportunities to place hope into someone’s hands.
UnSilenced is leading a community-wide effort to collect 800 new or gently used Bibles in preparation for The Story Tour at Northwestern Auditorium in Battle Creek on November 14, 2026.
More Than a Collection Goal
The 800 Bibles of Hope Project is about preparing our community to welcome people who may arrive carrying grief, trauma, addiction, shame, loneliness, fear, or uncertainty.
Some people may come for the music. Some may attend because a friend invited them. Others may walk through the doors searching for encouragement, connection, or a reason to believe their story is not over.
We want hope to be visible, available, and freely offered. Every Bible represents an opportunity to remind someone that they are seen, valued, loved, and not alone.
How You Can Participate
Donate Bibles
Donate new or gently used Bibles for youth and adults. Bibles should be complete, readable, and in respectful condition.
Adopt a Row of Hope
A family, church, business, or community group can provide enough Bibles to represent an entire row of seats in Northwestern Auditorium.
Host a Collection Location
Churches, businesses, schools, ministries, and organizations can host a collection box and invite others to participate.
Support Project Costs
Financial gifts assist with purchasing Bibles, transportation, collection materials, signs, printing, outreach, and project supplies.
Help Us Reach 800
Individuals, families, churches, ministries, businesses, service clubs, schools, and community organizations are invited to lock arms with UnSilenced and help make this vision possible.
You can participate by donating Bibles, hosting a collection location, adopting a Row of Hope, supporting project expenses, volunteering, sharing the campaign, or inviting someone to attend The Story Tour.
