Vision Beyond Borders began as a small ministry which specialized in taking Bibles into China and other parts of Asia. As Pat brought Bibles into these countries, he felt a great urge to help the local peoples. The ministry has since grown to support orphaned children, widows, persecuted pastors, and rescue women and children from sex-slavery. Since its foundation, Vision Beyond Borders has delivered over 2 million Bibles and thousands of MP3 audio Bibles and hand-wind tape players containing the Gospel into closed countries. VBB has set up rescue and rehabilitation ministries for sex-trafficking victims in India & Nepal, including a safe house. With donors' support, we have also provided for over 800 children & hundreds of native pastors in restricted nations. An abundant amount of humanitarian aid and medical care have been administered to the poor and to persecuted refugees from Burma, Syria, Honduras, Venezuela and Iraq. Over 40 million vegetable seed packets have been distributed, providing self-sustaining resources for villages and orphanages. Thousands of Bible flannel graphs have also been delivered to reach children and adults with the Gospel.
