A federal judge has entered a Consent Decree that overturns the decision of Collier County School Board, which banned voluntary distribution of Bibles to high school students on Religious Freedom Day. This Decree is the culmination of litigation brought by Liberty Counsel to vindicate the constitutional rights of World Changers, the local group denied equal access by the school board.

For years, the school board allowed World Changers to place free Bibles on tables where students could voluntarily pick one up during noninstructional time. However, on Religious Freedom Day in 2009, school officials banned its distribution, claiming that the Bible does not provide any educational benefit to the students. Now the school board will allow the Bible distribution and reimburse Liberty Counsel for the legal costs it incurred.

See our News Release for the rest of the story.

After a victory report at a local church in South Florida, people gave their loose change so World Changers could purchase Bibles for every high school student. This one event provided money for more than 5,000 Bibles. This is more than enough for the Collier County Schools, so World Changers is working to get a similar program going in neighboring Lee County. We can’t wait to see all that the Lord will do with this open door.
