We value all the different media that enable us to distribute the Bible
We value affordability of Scriptures for everyone
Our Foundational Beliefs
The Bible Society movement has as its motivation the fulfilment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)
Bible Societies understand their task as participation in the mission of God −Father, Son and Holy Spirit −as witnessed in the Holy Scriptures
Bible Societies provide resources to equip churches and their partner organisations; we do not usurp the mission of churches
Bible Societies affirm that the Holy Scriptures belong to all churches, recognising that doctrinal interpretation of the Scriptures belongs to them
Bible Societies believe that the Bible is for all people, in every living language, therefore they see Bible translation as one of their key activities
Bible Societies recognise that the Bible has direct relevance in addressing the world’s problems and in reaching out to people’s needs in word and deed, following in the footsteps of Jesus.

We are developing leading technology – we apply the best technological solutions in order to make the Bible’s message available and accessible to everyone
…I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, in the world below, and in the seas – all living beings in the universe – and they were singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honour, glory and might, forever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13:
