Victory Baptist Church
Founded in, March of 1961, Victory Baptist Church of Roan Mountain, Tennessee has always been a lighthouse for Christ in the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Over the years the church has grown from what was once itself, a little mission outreach, to having a world-wide effect through its own various outreach and evangelistic ministries.
Open Bible Hour Ministries
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:1-4
Starting in 1972, the Open Bible Hour Ministry has grown to a combination of daily and weekly Radio Broadcasts on more than 30 national and international radio stations. These radio broadcasts led to the development of a Bible Distribution Ministry where over 1,000,000 Bibles have been sent out, free of charge, to anyone who has written the ministry requesting a copy of God’s Word.
In 1984, Victory Baptist Church of Roan Mountain, TN, the parent church of this ministry, built a new sanctuary and converted the old building into a multipurpose ministry facility which now houses many of the Open Bible Hour outreach works around the world including the following:
A Bible book store, started in 1985, known a s the Open Bible Book Room which offers Bibles, study books, commentaries, devotional guides and other ministry related materials, a Printing Ministry where thousands of Gospel tracts, books, newsletters, flyers, booklets and other Christian literature are printed each year, a Recording Studio to provide a low-cost, economical means for Gospel groups and individuals to record, duplicate and distribute their music.
Victory Bible Institute
“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:14-17
Equipping Pastors and Christian Workers
with Knowledge & Power
VBC Bible Institute is an institution of higher education which is dedicated to Pastors and Christian workers desiring to become better equipped in order to accomplish the work to which God has called them to do. Its purpose is to provide continued educational programs to our students who are unable to attend full time classes on campus.
This institution offers specific courses which are designed to immediately assist the busy pastors and church workers in their respective fields. The staff and faculty of the Institute consists of seasoned professionals who have spent most of their lives in God's ministry. We utilize all of our experience to obtain the desired results with a minimum of time and effort.
The entire faculty and staff of VBC Bible Institute believe that it is the quality of instruction, and not quantity which enlightens our students.
Bible Distribution Mission
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. " Romans 10:17
Bibles are offered as a part of the gospel preaching on the Open Bible Hour by Brother Jerry Honeycutt through local and international radio broadcasts. Listeners hear and write to the Open Bible Hour requesting a Bible of their own. Brother Jerry orders a shipment of 2,000 Bibles by faith.
God's people pray and give. Offerings are sent to the Open Bible Hour, P.O. Box 100, Roan Mountain, TN 37687. Pastors and Christians are welcome to visit and see the actual workings of the Bible ministry. The mail requesting Bibles is read and the addresses are attached to Bible-size envelopes by some of the families in Victory Baptist Church, which is the home of the ministry. The Bibles, the envelopes, a short course in Bible knowledge, salvation tracts and other literature are assembled by volunteer workers and made ready for mailing. Again, God's people pray and give. The postage is the greatest cost involved in this ministry.
God always supplies.
When thirty five mail-ready Bibles are packed into a large shipping bag, they are ready for shipment. From the first broadcast, this ministry has been bathed in prayer. When the Bibles are shipped they go out as a gospel messenger to a lost world. Since the day the Holy Spirit moved on Brother Jerry's heart to offer a free Bible to anyone needing one, more than 1,000,000 Bibles have been sent through the Open Bible Hour.
If you wish to support this work or request a free bible send all offerings and requests to:
