Join Festive Fred on a heartwarming journey as he snoozes off in his bedroom and wakes up in the middle of the very first Christmas! Just like Fred, your children will discover the incredible gift of forgiveness, wrapped in love, in the person of Jesus.
“OUCH! My head!’ said Fred, as all of a sudden he woke up, face planted in a field of mud!
‘Oops! Are you OK?’ a Shepherd boy said. ‘Seems like you nodded off, fell over and hit your head?’
‘Ummm … where am I?’ asked Fred.
‘That’s a silly question. You’re in a field!’ the Shepherd boy said.
‘What field?’ asked Fred, wondering if he had wandered into his neighbour’s field again.
‘Only the bestest field with the bestest
sheep in the whole of Bethlehem!’

We're on a Mission!
Although Bible Society has been around since 1846, we became a group when Manna Christian Stores became part of the mission in 2017. This divine appointment saw two mission-hearted organisations, both rich in history join forces, interweaving their mission, passion, and purpose to become one. Together, we share a mission to help make the Bible accessible to everyone and encourage interaction with it.
