Dear Friends, We are living in a moment of cultural confusion. Truth feels negotiable. Distraction is constant. Yet beneath the noise, people are hungry—hungry for clarity, for meaning, for hope that endures. At the very same time, we live in an experience-driven world. People don’t just want information; they crave encounters that move them, shape them, and stay with them. This is where Inspire steps in. Our mission is simple and urgent: to bring Scripture to life, to deepen faith, and to serve people of all ages and backgrounds with experiences that point to Jesus. We do not just teach history. We proclaim Christ. We do not just tell stories. We proclaim the Gospel. Every tour, every resource, and every guide exists to make much of Jesus, to strengthen the faith of believers and to share the Good News of Jesus with those who do not know Christ as their Savior. Through Inspire’s immersive, Christ-centered experiences in museums, at historic sites, and around the world, guests encounter the Bible as more than words on a page. They see its authority, its beauty, and its power to transform lives. They leave more biblically literate, historically informed, and spiritually engaged. Most importantly, they leave having heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a world starving for truth, this is our moment to shine the light of Christ. And we are only getting started. With God’s help, and with your partnership, we can proclaim Jesus to thousands more. Thank you for standing with us in this mission. The need is urgent. The Gospel is powerful. And the time is now. With gratitude,
Michael McAfee President, Inspire

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” –John 1:1-5
