DID YOU KNOW...
3 OUT OF 4 CHRISTIANS DON’T HAVE A BIBLE?
You can help change this by praying, by giving and by joining Bible a Month Club.
In New Zealand it’s easy to get a Bible. But there are millions of Christians in countries where Bibles are in desperately short supply or not available at all. When you join Bible a Month Club, you’ll join Bible Society and nearly 10,000 other Kiwis helping get Bibles into people’s hands and hearts all over the world.
How does it work?
When you join Bible a Month Club you’ll receive a calendar that features a different Bible needy country each month and has a Bible verse for each day. Your Bible a Month gift for that month will provide a Bible, or Bibles, in that country. On a day each month that best suits you and your budget, you give your gift for that month. You can give by automatic payment, internet banking or cheque, or give online.
Is that all I need to do?
Yes that’s all you need to do, but there is more you can do! In the back of the calendar is a prayer bookmark for each month. Throughout the month you can pray for that country, its people, its churches and those who will receive Bibles because of your gift. Each month you’ll be sent a report on the featured country with interesting facts, figures and prayer points.
How much should I give?
As much as you feel the Lord leads you to give. As a guide, the average cost of a Bible, including printing and distribution, is $12. So if you choose to give a $12 gift each month you’ll be giving one Bible. Every extra $12 you give will enable one more person to have a Bible.
Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes it is. All gifts to Bible Society programs are tax deductible.
How can I become a Bible missionary?
You can sign-up online, call 0800 424253 or talk to a Bible Society representative.
