Christian Record Services for the Blind

In the heart of compassion and dedication, Christian Record Services (CRS) stands tall as it celebrates an incredible milestone—125 years of unwavering commitment to serving individuals worldwide who are blind or visually impaired. Since its inception, CRS has been a beacon of hope, breaking down barriers and providing life-changing services to individuals facing vision challenges. I love that we can share the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ with people who are blind or experiencing vision loss.

One such person was Elizabeth, who was blinded by a shotgun blast to the face. Through her love for Jesus she was able to forgive the ones responsible. Elizabeth attends National Camps for Blind Children, a service of CRS. She says, “There is so much love, happiness, and joy at camp.”

Camps are just one of the services Christian Record Services offers. Other programs include Bible study lessons, books, magazines, and Bibles in audio, braille, and large print from a library of over 2,000 titles.

Members can also deepen social, educational, and spiritual connections through PhoneFaith, scholarships for higher education, and, of course, National Camps for Blind Children. These services and programs are free of charge to people who are legally blind.

Your offerings will help further the ministry’s mission to empower people who are blind to engage their communities and embrace the Blessed Hope.
