Braille Production

To help patrons access Christian materials, the International Christian Braille Mission (ICBM) maintains a library catalog and produces regular publications, such as We Would See Jesus (WWSJ) Magazine and the Every Day in God’s Word devotional. If you would like to sign up for these publications or receive a Catalog of Publications, please let us know by sending a message through our Contact Us form.

ICBM uses specialized equipment to create its materials, ensuring high quality for its readers:
  • Embossers: The mission relies on two Interpoint embossers from Enabling Technologies, an Index Fanfold D and a Braille Express 150. Interpoint technology allows for double-sided embossing, which increases efficiency and reduces the bulk.

This service makes faith-based resources accessible to the blind and visually impaired community at no cost, despite the high production price. In order to combat this high cost, ICBM has a program we call “The 10-dollar Paper Mill Program.” This program is a letter in the mail requesting support from each person of just 10 dollars to help mitigate the cost of the Braille productions ICBM provides to the blind. These letters are sent to call for support just 2-4 times a year. At most that is 40 dollars PER Year. This helps us ensure ICBM and its braille materials continue to share the gospel of Christ with the blind community.

Braille Bibles InternationalInternational Christian Braille Mission Partners with Braille Bibles International for anyone that requests the entire bible in braille. This is one of their main focuses is producing and distributing braille bibles for the blind community.

American ThromoformMost ICBM supplies for braille production are purchased from American Thermoform. They provide high quality items assisting in the work that ICBM does to share the Gospel.
