Scripture grants

During 2013, Bible Society Australia (BSA) continued to provide free Scripture grants to Chaplains of Correctional Services, Hospitals, Australian Defence Forces, many “front line” Christian ministries and Scripture Teachers in Public Schools. Through this support over 70,000 pieces of Scripture have been put in the hands of people wanting to know more about Christianity.

Here is a brief story from one of the Chaplains we support at a Women’s Prison, where lady inmates receive a Bible though a Christian discussion group.

“The women attend Christian Discussion Group because they are eager and curious to hear what we share and talk about. Often they share that they do not have a Bible and we love the fact we can offer them one. They are overwhelmed that they can take a Bible back to their cells with them and have one of their own. From time to time, women will drop in when they see us in the Chapel just to ask if they can have a Bible.”
