Overview
Bible Society Australia (BSA) seeks to serve and equip groups who are ministering to Australians in all areas of life by providing Bibles and Scripture resources through the Disaster Recovery grant.
Emergency chaplains, front line gospel workers and local churches are often among the first responders in any emergency, helping people in difficult circumstances, sharing God’s hope and the good news of Jesus.
There is a great need for the Disaster Recovery grant in providing Scripture resources, so that those ministering can help people begin a journey of healing with God’s word.
