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.

The Need

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.

Statistics

February-April 2022 saw a series of floods across eastern Australia which were one of the worst flood disasters in the country.
In July 2022 around 85,000 people were displaced by heavy flooding which broke out in the Central Coast and Sydney areas of NSW.
From October 14 into November, a series of floods occurred in Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales, with some towns experiencing the highest river peaks in decades.

Project Goals

The goal this project is to Open The Bible to people experiencing disaster. By resourcing front line workers with the Scriptures and gospel materials, they can engage people with God’s word. This grant shares the transformative hope of the gospel and equips gospel workers with both God’s word and the ability to encourage and disciple those they work with.

In 2023, this project is aiming to find and support more ministries, giving them the resources they need to share the Gospel and disciple people who are facing various emergency situations.

Impact

The impact of these grants has been seen in the changed lives of recipients, and the stories and testimonies from chaplains, outreach workers and the recipients of Bibles and Scripture resources.

In the 2021/2022 Financial Year, requests were made for

715 Kids ‘No Worries’ tract
