About Us
Today, the Bible, & You was started by John Barela in 1984.
It is a non-denominational Bible-teaching ministry, which means we are not affiliated with or supported by any specific church or denominational group.
God supplies our financial support through the generous gifts of our readers and ministry friends.

John has been extensively involved in worldwide missions, having traveled to more than sixty countries holding Bible Seminars and mission outreach.
Today's FrontPage
Our Newsletter
“Today’s FrontPage” is our monthly newsletter.
Our motto is “Keeping you informed.”
As believers are made aware of current events and how they may affect them, their family, and their faith, they are better equipped to live victoriously.
FrontPage provides articles that strengthen your faith, alert you to concerning present national and world issues, and inspire you while pointing you to the Blessed Hope of the believer.
