With a gift in your will, you’ll enable future generations to experience the Bible for themselves, and the Bible will go on changing lives for good.
It’s a big mission, making the Bible available to the world. For us, it started more than 200 years ago in North Wales when a girl saved for years and walked for miles to get a Bible of her own.
Around the world, the Bible is in demand. Through Bible Society, God’s word is reaching people even in the poorest communities. And if it speaks to our hearts, it should speak in our heart language, so we’re working to translate the Bible into the thousands of languages in which it’s still unavailable. That makes a gift in your will a powerful, lasting investment. Because of you, people will have something they never had before.

'Barbara and I have both left a legacy to Bible Society in our wills because we could see the importance, beyond our time, of people needing the Bible in their own language.
'The Bible is very important to me. It’s helped mould my life as a Christian, and I always try to encourage other people to read the Bible. Basically, I hope that through our legacy gift, people will come to the knowledge of Christ.'

It is a privilege to be able to support the wonderful work of Bible Society and ‘Bible a Month’. It is amazing to hear about the joy of those who receive God’s Word in their own language for the first time.
I am very pleased to help to support the literacy classes for women using the Bible as a text and to hear how successful they have been. I certainly want to continue this support with a legacy in my will.

'I have chosen to leave a legacy to Bible Society because there’s work that needs to be supported, particularly in China, the Middle East and North Africa, where Christianity is under pressure.
'The Bible is part of my life… There’s not much point in reading Scripture if you don’t take to heart what you’re being told. It has led me through my life to a position where I know from day to day that the Bible and the Holy Spirit speak to me in a personal way.
'My husband died four years ago, at the age of 92. We met at church and read the Bible together right up until shortly before his death.'
