Rapid Deployment Kit

$3.25 USD

Since 9/11/2001, Military Ministry has distributed almost 2 million Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) New Testaments for our troops. We’re able to send RDKs at no charge to chaplains and the military because of the donations of thousands of generous people across America.

Nearly every day, we hear stories about how much RDKs are appreciated:

  • Our chaplain staff has nearly exhausted our RDK supply. The troops really enjoy reading the Bibles and other reading material in the kit. Thank you for honoring our request. Army Staff Sergeant Chaplain Assistant
  • In Kandahar, Afghanistan, one marine had just returned from a combat patrol, and his first action was to pull the Bible from his fatigue pocket and kneel down to pray. His exhaustion was apparent, but his purposeful commitment to prayer was more compelling. Another marine had just completed a tour guarding prisoners in the compound at Kandahar and was assigned to accompany me through the compound. I noticed the pocket where he appeared to have kept his bible. I asked him where he got it, and he said it was given to him on board ship before he deployed into Afghanistan. He said a lot of his comrades were using them and he found great comfort in his combat Bible. Army General

RDKs contain a pocket-sized, camouflage-cover New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (Good News 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 RDK is assembled by a volunteer. 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.

Our hope and prayer is that you will purchase RDKs for troops you know or to show others at your church, so they can participate in this wonderful ministry.

Donor value: $3.25 USD

RDKs are free to chaplains and active duty military.
