The Bible Society exists to put the Bible into people’s hands...

This means that every effort is made to raise funds in order that we might produce Scripture in a language that is understood, in a format that is acceptable, at a price that is affordable.

We work with many different groups and churches all over the world getting the Word of God to people in written, audio and visual forms. We raise money to translate the Bible into people’s own language, to teach people to read the Bible for themselves, and to give Bibles away. We encourage people like you to read the Bible for yourself and find out what God is really all about!

In short, The Bible Society’s mission is to provide the Word of God to all people, in their own language, in a format they can use and at a price they can afford.

The Bible Society seeks to make the Bible available to everyone who wants one, this is why the Bible Society has set out to translate the Bible into the living language of every people group. The number of people groups that have the Bible in their own language is growing each year. To make it possible for people to have these Bibles they must be heavily subsidised to be affordable at all.

No task in the world is more important than reaching every person with the Word of God. In order to accomplish this goal, the Bible Society in Australia together with its dedicated Bible Society partners around the world is working with the churches to provide the Scriptures in the languages of more than 90 per cent of the world's population.
