By God’s grace, Bible Societies around the world had been able to achieve the incredible feat of distributing 1,8 billion Scriptures in the last five years, with 2019 being a record year for Bible provision.

“Our mission is not to fill bookshelves but to fill hearts with the life-changing words of Scripture.”

In 2020, the Bible Society of South Africa will celebrate its 200-year anniversary. We are deeply grateful for the grace and favour the Lord has bestowed upon this organisation whose mission it is to provide affordable Bibles to everyone in the language of their choice.

Buying your Bibles from the Bible Society is now easier than ever, thanks to our online Bible shop.
