Life Transformed through the Bible
Millions of people around the world do not have access to the Bible but long to have a copy of their own. The Bible-a-month Partnership is a commitment by the Scottish Bible Society to twelve different projects each year where Bibles or Bible-based resources reach those who need and want them.

Project Updates
In 2018, our Bible-a-month Partners prayed and gave generously to projects around the world. Here are some updates on just a few projects that you have helped support last year:
Namibia
Thanks to your support over the past year, the Bible Society of Namibia have begun translating the Bible into the Oshikwanyama and Oshindonga languages. The translation team have finished the Gospels and are progressing with other books. An engagement workshop is planned with pastors who will help to develop Bible Study materials from the book of Mark. The focus will be on youth, the target group of the new Bible translation.
Laos
When Loe (pictured) received a Bible and read it for the first time, she thought ‘This is the story of Jesus!’ and was excited to read about his miracles. “When I am afraid or lonely or stressed, I read the Bible and feel comforted. I have read all four Gospels and am reading Genesis now. I give thanks to God for the people who help me to go to school, know God and have a chance to study the Bible. May God bless them.”
Honduras
Thanks to your support, a further 3,500 Bibles have been produced and are ready to be distributed to police in Honduras, the most violent country in the world. A meeting was held at the Police Technological Institute with pastors, leaders and volunteers supporting Bible studies in police offices nationwide. Leaders and volunteers continue to run the Prisoner’s Pilgrimage Programme. At the end of the programme, prisoners receive a diploma and a Bible. More than 1,500 prisoners have graduated nationwide, with many lives changed thanks to this project.

COLOMBIA
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not depart from it.“
Proverbs 22:6 NIV
Children outside one of the project centres.
The Word of God for the children of the Wayúu indigenous community.
Colombian Guajira children, located at north of country, often suffer hunger, malnutrition, lack of attention by Government and have scarce opportunities to study and develop as should be the norm for children and young people.
This project provides food for the children as well as teaching religious education and providing Bibles and portions in their own language. The project also trains teachers in religious education and there is no government support and training.
Pray for the Wayúu children and their parents that their hearts would become receptive to God’s Word. Pray also for teachers as they are encouraged to live up to train themselves and in this way become guides for the children to help them know and live Gospel.
