The Bible Society of Nigeria is a non-profit-making interdenominational Christian organization whose sole mission is to make the Holy Bible available and affordable to Nigerians in their preferred languages and formats, helping them engage with the word of God through life-transforming programmes.<\/p>

BSN is not a Church and does not have bias for or against any particular Church denomination. We serve the Churches by providing the Bible which they need in their task of soul winning. We are partners with the Churches in fulfillment of the Great Commission.
We strive to break any known barrier that makes the word of God inaccessible to Christians.<\/p>

This we do by translating the Bible into different Nigerian Languages, publishing and distributing them. We also make the Bibles available on cassettes for those who cannot read. Through this, we believe, every Christian should be able to interact with God unhindered. While the Churches win souls, we ensure that the Bible is available for Christians to sustain their salvation as they read and abide by its injunctions.<\/p>

In collaboration with the Churches, we organize yearly, \u201cBible Week Celebration\u201d where we celebrate the gift of the Bible. We also organize \u201cBible Reading Marathon\u201d where Christians have opportunity to interact with the Bible by reading publicly any version or translation of their choice.<\/p>

It is our earnest desire to make the Bible available in all Nigerian Languages, but we are constrained by insufficient funds. It costs a minimum of N150 million per translation project if finished within 8 years. We absorb this translation cost through donations. At the moment 10 translation projects are ongoing. So far we have translated and published the complete Bible in 27 Nigerian languages in Full Bibles, 61 Languages in New Testament and one book or another in 101 languages. Nigerian has 500 languages, so the work continues. This is one of the reasons why we do fund-raising.<\/p>\n
