Joe V.
Projects Manager
A testament to the inscrutable ways of God, Joe’s resumé includes a BA in Missions, an AS in Printing, a BS in Business Administration, years in the printing industry, and even more years in higher ed management. In 2013, this seemingly random educational and work experience clearly proved to be God's way of preparing Joe for the Projects Manager position at BI. Knowing that Isaiah 55:10-11 promises that God's Word will not return empty, Joe is passionate about publishing the Word in every conceivable format: print, audio, digital, and video. Included in his burden for the Bible-less around the world is a special burden for those involved in the process of translating Scripture into their language. Although a daunting task, his department strives to ensure that the national teams receive all the assistance Bibles International can provide.
