A New Look, A New Direction
Get Involved
Pray with Us
We are one Bible Society in the Republic of Ireland but we are connected into a global Fellowship in over 240 countries and territories. This interconnection means we seek to uplift our sisters and brothers as they face a variety of different challenges while continuing to live out the United Bible Societies’ mandate of “The Bible for Everyone”.
This month we are praying specifically for the Iranian Bible Society in Diaspora (IBSD), whose mission is to make the Bible in Persian and other Iranian languages available so that Iranians around the globe may experience its transforming message.
Give Today
100 percent of your gift, no matter how small or large, goes towards the work of the Bible Society and is deeply appreciated. There are different ways to give, including cheques and online through our donation system, see here.
Stay in Touch
