Leaving a Legacy through God's Word
Bible Society Australia has a remarkable legacy—established in 1817, just a month before Westpac opened its doors. That makes us the longest continuously operating organisation in Australia’s history.
in this video, Jonathan Harris shares how his father’s bequest continues to support Indigenous Bible translation work, and what that means to him:
“Just to see the impact Dad's made... even when he's not here... that’s just so special, to be able to have the legacy going on, generation after generation; a legacy of faith”
