The work and witness of the Society is never at a standstill. Whether it is new items being added to our product range, further progress in the work of Bible translation, or correspondence from those to whom we have been able to grant Scripture items, the work goes on. While our Quarterly Record and Annual Report give quarterly and yearly updates, this page provides more current news items.
