Do This:
Bring Your Bible
As the name suggests, make sure to bring your Bible to work and read it during free time.
Pray
Pray for yourself, your colleagues, and other participants of Bring Your Bible Day. Trust that God will soften hearts to the gospel. Encourage friends and family to join you in prayer.
Invite Your Colleagues
You’re allowed to invite your colleagues to join you in reading the Bible and discussing it. Remember, though, you can’t force anyone to participate if they’re not interested.
Share Bibles
Offer Bibles to coworkers, but do so in a way that doesn’t disrupt work. Consider sharing during breaks, lunchtime, or after work hours.
Be Respectful
If your supervisor or manager has questions about Bring Your Bible Day, answer with humility. If they ask you to stop, follow their instructions. You can seek additional guidance from organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom.
Spread the Word
Ask your pastor and other church leaders to help promote Bring Your Bible Day within your congregation.
Don’t Do This…

Be Afraid
As a Christian, feel free to share your beliefs about God and the Bible during free time. Invite colleagues to join you, but avoid interrupting work tasks.
Disturb Work Time
While sharing your faith is encouraged, ensure it doesn’t disrupt work activities or meetings.
