A personal note to our site’s visitors:
Seldom, sometimes never, does a lone wolf experience firsthand the I Samuel 18:1 “knit-togetherness” of David and Jonathan. This lone wolf is being blessed with the latest of his very, very few such blessings. Pastor Gary Fox is not a “doctor,” i.e., he hasn’t mutually agreed with some other insecure, self-aggrandizing CEO of a 501(c)(3) corporation to establish some sort of “institute of higher ‘Christian’ learning” in their churches’ basements to the end that they might mutually award each other “doctoral degrees.” Pastor Fox is just that – a pastor: A clay-footed, redeemed sinner who once eschewed the title but who today embraces his calling with the love and devotion of a willing under-shepherd for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A Blind Man’s Vision
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psalms 119:130) Prior to August 24, 1980, Keith Reedy had a widely-established and well-deserved reputation as a vulgar, hell-raisin’, alky-swillin’, country-western honky-tonkin’, pickin’-‘n’-grinnin’ blind musician with a real mean ‘n’ nasty streak. (Don’t get too smug, Dear Christian Reader. You weren’t much better than that, if any better at all, B.C.) Then Jesus came. For reasons known only to the Lord of Glory Himself, He reached down and saved ol’ Keith from his self-imposed misery and dropped into his formerly sin-blackened heart an insatiable hunger for the Word of God – a hunger not easy for a blind man to feed in those days. “A Braille Bible costs an arm and half a leg,” complained Keith to God. “So fix it!” God replied. “Couldn’t you send Aaron, instead?” Keith suggested. “I’m just a Blood-washed nobody, hardly qualified for a challenge such as that.” Anyone familiar with the call of Moses knows how that discussion was resolved. Thus Bibles for the Blind and Visually Handicapped International was launched in November, 1983, with no business plan, no money, no equipment, no anything much – just an absolutely unshakable conviction that God had called a former honky-tonker to become a missionary bearing the Water of Life, in Braille, to English-speaking blind folks all around the world. It would be nearly four years before the first Braille Bible would roll off of on-premises presses at Bibles for the Blind. Since then, the ministry has slowly and steadily grown as Keith and his wife Suzie have faithfully labored and as God has even more faithfully blessed. Among BfB’s many milestones was publishing the very first Braille Bible with paragraph divisions. Even at this writing, God is opening yet another very exciting door of opportunity and ministry: adding “Interlingual” to “International” with the publishing of the Braille Bible in foreign languages! And the best is yet to come!
