What is the Edwin L. Hodges Ministries?
Edwin L. Hodges Ministries (ELHM) is a Christian
literature ministry, mailing free materials to Bible schools,
churches, missionaries, and individuals worldwide (almost
entirely outside of the U.S.A).
It is a non-denominational, non-profit

The period of duration of this corporation is
perpetual. Its purposes are:
- To print, publish and distribute throughout the world,
Bibles and portions thereof.

The
Ministries main objective is to help those who have been born
again to mature in their faith through the use of Christian
literature. The production of Bible study materials, and
providing lending libraries, support that goal.
At
present, ELHM is operated almost entirely by volunteers,
nearly 25 of which work on a weekly basis, at the home office
and warehouse.
For 3 1/2 years the office operated out
of a small building on the back of the Hodges residential lot
and used self-storage units to meet the warehouse needs. In
May of 1998 the ministry moved to its present location. In May
of 2002, God enabled us to double our warehouse space to
approximately 11,000 square feet.
