WE BELIEVE
When people get to know Jesus through God’s Word, lives change for good and that is why our mission is to help make the Bible accessible to everyone and to encourage interaction with it.
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.
Together with other Bible Societies, we are committed to reaching out to children experiencing extreme challenges like poverty and conflict in Syria, Lebanon, Uruguay, and South Africa with Bible-based programmes that can bring the light of Jesus Christ into their lives.
As the situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate, the Haiti Bible Society (HBS) has launched an urgent appeal to ensure their vital ministry remains operational, especially during these challenging times.
We’re on a mission to distribute Bibles to rural Christians in Laos and China, where the presence of God’s Word can truly transform lives.
We are partnering with churches, chaplaincies, and other organisations to bring the hope of the Bible to people across New Zealand.
Our teams on the ground in Israel and the Palestinian Territories are tirelessly delivering Scriptures, emergency aid, and trauma healing programmes to those in desperate need. Would you consider making a gift today to help fund this essential work?
At Bible Society New Zealand, we recognise the role of Bible translation as being at the heart of the mission. Through the United Bible Societies Bible Translation Roadmap, we are helping to support the completion of 1,200 Bible translations by 2038.

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.
