Stewardship Report

American Bible Society’s 2010 Stewardship Report chronicles our ministry to bring the power and message of God’s Word where it’s needed most. Through our programs and partnerships, we’ve brought the Bible’s life-changing message to more than 8.1 million people in the United States and around the world in 2010 alone. We thank those who have faithfully supported our ongoing domestic and international ministry programs, which serve the needs of the whole Church:

  • America’s armed forces
  • Church leaders eager for Bible resources
  • Young adults seeking online ministry
  • Disaster survivors across the globe
  • Entire populations of people who have never before experienced God’s Word in their heart language.

It is our privilege to offer the hope of God’s Word to millions of people. Please pray that we will continue to fulfill our mission: To make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand, so all people may experience its life-changing message.

Pioneering online Bible tools, Bible-based music and films and Bible exploration experiences, we continue to open new ways for the timeless message of God's Word to come alive for new generations.

Translation and Education

Anchored by world-class Bible scholarship and a remarkable collection of ancient Scripture resources, we continue to develop new Bible resources and tools to bring the message of God's Word to people around the world.
