A message from the CMO
Welcome to our new Winter Sower.
In this edition of Sower, you will read about the faithful men and women who are learning to translate Scripture into their own Indigenous languages, which can be a long and lonely task, made easier and lighter by joining together in community workshops.
You’ll find encouragement, too, in the special Bibles produced for ministry among the Australian Defence Forces, reaching open hearts among those serving our country. As you read, pray for the work of translating, publishing and distributing God’s word, that it would bring blessing and transformation to all who open it.

Supporting Bible distribution efforts across the globe.
Across Australia, many people still lack access to the Bible in a format they can truly understand and engage with. Indigenous Australians are waiting for Scripture in their heart languages, while the Deaf Australian community needs the Bible translated into Auslan. At the same time, the vulnerable and those at life’s crossroads long for hope and direction from God’s word. Your giving can help Open The Bible into more hands and hearts across the nation.
