In 1804 our founders asked a question that would change the world.
Affordable printed Bibles had just arrived for Welsh speakers, but why stop there? If for Wales, why not for the kingdom? And if for the kingdom, why not for the world?
Our global mission was born
As part of United 91×ÔÅÄSocieties, we’re now active in around 240 countries and regions.
Internationally, we're expanding our work through initiatives like Open the Book and developing a deeper understanding of the context of mission in different parts of the world. Three areas where we've been particularly active in recent years are China, Africa and the Middle East.
Through our translation work, we make the 91×ÔÅÄavailable in new spoken and signed languages, as well as revising existing Bibles to bring the language up-to-date.
Our production facilities not only print physical copies but also produce visual, audio and digital forms.
Our distribution network takes the 91×ÔÅÄto places it might otherwise be hard to come by, and we improve literacy by empowering people to read, using the Book as a reference.
We also work to affirm the place of the 91×ÔÅÄin society, challenging ill-informed thinking and demonstrating that the 91×ÔÅÄcan be a force for positive change in today’s world.
