Frequently Asked Questions


Q. Are you called Bridge Builders or Pocket Testament League?

A. Both! But to be precise,Bridge-Builders is the business name of The Pocket Testament League Ltd, a company limited by guarantee, registered in England no. 1461289. Reg. address: 32 Edenpark Rd, Birkenhead CH42 9JP. Reg. charity no: 281910.

We adopted the name Bridge Builders in January 2004 to reflect our desire to help Christians build bridges to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our friends and family who have yet to know Jesus. Therefore, our mission statement is “enabling Christians to share their faith one-to-one.” Go to About Us / History to read more details. We are managed by a Board of Directors and are members of the Evangelical Alliance.

Q. How can you give gospels away for FREE?

A. Bridge Builders have depended on donations and legacies to help Christians just like you to share the gospel for over 110 years. We pray that God will continue to provide resources to cover the cost of what we do, including the cost of printing gospels, making it possible for us to keep giving away gospels. Therefore, joining Bridge Builders is completely free! And there is absolutely no charge for the gospels themselves. Our ministry and ability to provide free gospels is made possible by gifts from individuals, churches, trusts and legacies. However, there is no obligation to give.

Q. How many gospels can I order?

A. You are encouraged to build a lifestyle of personal evangelism.  For most people, this means putting one gospel in your pocket each morning and looking for opportunities to build bridges.  In your many conversations during the day, you may find that God helps you discern when it is appropriate to explain your faith and recommend the reading of a gospel to a relative, friend or colleague.

A new member receives an introduction pack containing two free gospels.  If you contact us when you have given these two away we will send two more free gospels.  We will continue to do this as long as you keep coming back.

If you would like more than two gospels we can send these to you but we would appreciate a donation to cover the cost. 

Tell us how you have used the gospels and we will send you more. For more gospels, click here to login.

Q. Do I need special training?

A. No special training is needed. God provides the opportunity to “practise”, giving you “on the job” training. Bridge Builders comes alongside you to act as a support network through prayer, guidance and free materials.

How to share

However, you could invest in training if you would like to improve the way in which you engage with others, how you explain your faith or even being alert to the opportunities that God provides. Our National Director, Dave Bennett, could come to your church for a training session. Why not consider that?
