Welcome to the Bible Society mission | Bible Society New Zealand

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your recent gift and welcome you to the Bible Society mission – please click on the video below to meet a few of your like-minded mission partners.

Our story

Since 1846 in New Zealand, it’s been our mission to help make the Bible accessible to everyone and encourage interaction with it.

We do this by working in New Zealand and in partnership with other Bible Societies around the world. We take the Bible and find ways to translate and distribute it, create digital formats, advocate for its place in society, and help people relate to and make sense of it in their everyday lives.

This has only been made possible through generous supporters like you!

To further our mission, Manna Christion Store became part of the Bible Society group in 2017. Their story began in 1972 in Invercargill and has grown to 14 stores nationwide today.

Together we form the Bible Society Group and we are driven by one conviction: that when people engage with the Bible, lives can change for good.

To enjoy discounts, earn reward points, and receive member-exclusive offers on quality Christian resources from our Manna stores and online shop, just sign up to become a MANNA MEMBER here.

Every time you purchase a product from Manna, you are directly helping reach people in New Zealand and around the world with the hope and love of Jesus through the Bible.

Thanks again for your generous support and we look forward to continuing on our journey together.

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.
