YOUR PARTNERSHIP and 2012 BIBLE IMPACT

Through your partnership with Bible League International, you clearly demonstrate your passion for God’s Word, your heartfelt desire for others to have it, and your trust in us as faithful stewards of the resources you share.

Thanks to you, last year we provided our ministry partners —churches, mission agencies, church planters, and other Bible Planters—in more than 50 countries around the world more than

1.6 million Bibles and New Testaments, including AksesTM Digital Bible Libraries. They used the Word to help people to meet Jesus and put their faith in Him. You provided the seed of the Gospel that is making a life-transforming difference in lives worldwide.

As we look back to celebrate how God worked through Bible League International in 2012, we also look at 2013, as we mark a milestone— our 75th year of ministry.

Through the years, we’ve remained focused on providing God’s Word and ensuring that people will understand it. God has been faithful—and so have friends like you, by providing His Word and the opportunity for people to understand it.

This past year, you responded again in joy to the exciting new ways God has given us to provide His Word—through Literacy Outreach, Digital Access, and Easy-to-Read translations. We praise God for you!
