The goal of this project is to Open The Bible to people experiencing disaster. By resourcing front line workers, churches, and affected individuals 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 2024, this project is aiming to support more ministries, giving them the resources they need to share the Gospel and disciple people who are facing various emergency situations.

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.

As we know, many victims of disasters and tragedies need help immediately but also over the longer term. During the 2022-2023 financial year, BSA was in contact with various communities around the country that suffered devastations of various kinds.

BSA developed a new resource called, No Worries, God’s Got You to distribute to children whose families are going through difficult situations, as well as providing the Bible devotional by Nick Hawkes addressing suffering, Soar Above the Storm. These were offered along with BSA’s usual trauma healing resources and Scriptures.

In the 2022-2023 financial year, BSA supplied a range of resources to ministries on the front line helping those recovering from devastating events, including the popular No Worries tracts, specialised Bibles, New Testaments, and Gospels, ‘Meet Jesus’ Bible studies, trauma healing booklets and trauma healing postcards.
