BRING BIBLES TO
Around the world, people in isolated communities are living under pressure. Many have been suffering due to war, conflict, persecution, and poverty, all of which has only been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bible Societies are working to reach out to people in these marginalised communities to bring them the Hope of the Bible, to help in our endeavours to end Bible poverty, and to encourage Bible engagement.
This month, our focus is on Brazil, Armenia, and Vietnam.
By making a gift today, here is the impact you will be having:
I would like to help bring the Hope of the Bible to to people living in isolated communities in Brazil, Armenia, and Vietnam.

BIBLE LITERACY
A new translation is a completely fresh translation into a language that already has Scripture. This is not based on an existing translation, but is a completely new translation, using source texts.
A revised translation updates a translation that already exists so the language is understandable to the community today.
A first translation is the first time that Scripture is made available in a language. For instance, a first Bible is the first time that language has received the full Bible. A first portion is sometimes the first time a language receives any Scripture at all, but it could also be the first time that it receives an additional portion of Scripture. For example, a language may already have the New Testament, but it then receives the Book of Ruth for the first time.
