Since 1816, The American Bible Society has pioneered ways of providing God's Word for the people around the world who need it most.

This includes:

GLOBAL BIBLE MINISTRY Working with grassroots partners across our United Bible Societies network, we help place God's Word in China, Africa, India and particularly among the world's poor.

BIBLES FOR THE MILITARY Committed to supporting the men and women in our armed forces, we provide customized Bibles and Bible resources for our nation's military overseas and veterans returning home.

U.S. BIBLE OUTREACH Supporting students struggling with literacy, victims of natural disaster, at-risk urban youth and prisoners across the country, we provide a range of Bible resources, offering answers and hope.

BIBLE ARTS & MEDIA 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 & EDUCATION Anchored by both 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.

MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS Working together with ministries such as the Salvation Army, Samaritan's Purse, Operation Compassion and partners from across the whole Church, we help get God's Word out to those who need it most.

And for each of these 192 years, the life-changing ministries of the American Bible Society have been made possible by the generous giving of thousands of donors. Every ministry offering is thoroughly evaluated through extensive due-diligence provided by our research group, Global Scripture Impact. You can have confidence that your donation is supporting critically-needed Bible ministry for people desperately in need of hope from God's Word.
