Help support our global bible mission

FROM BUSY CITY STREETS TO WAR-TORN OVERSEAS VILLAGES, WE STRIVE TO MAKE THE BIBLE AVAILABLE AND ALIVE SO THAT ALL PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE ITS LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE.

In some parts of the world, the Bible is difficult to access or is simply unavailable. In New Zealand, the Bible is readily available but many people are unaware of its value.

We work in New Zealand and in partnership with over 150 Bible Societies around the world to help to break the cycle of Bible poverty, encourage Bible engagement and increase Bible literacy for people in many different contexts. 

All our efforts are driven by one conviction: we believe that when people engage with the Bible, lives can change – for good.

Discover the latest Bible projects you can support below, so that together, we can help make the Bible accessible to everyone and encourage interaction with it! Alternatively, if you know the Bible mission you’d like to contribute to then please use this secure online donation form.

Any gift of $5 or more made to Bible Society is eligible for a tax credit.

Inspired by the Great Commission, The United Bible Societies has the ambitious vision to complete 1,200 Bible Translations by 2038 which will make the Word of God accessible to 600 million People.

Launch a global mission from the comfort of your living room by supporting a new Bible project in a different country every month!
