us a gift to support our general work or a specific project for
which we need funds. Donations come in many forms:
|
|

Ask
for a copy of our Prayer Booklet to become more aware of Bible
Society work world-wide - use it as a regular part of your personal
or group devotions. Better still, ask us to E-mail you a page of
Prayer Topics direct to your computer each Monday so that you
can use these or share them with others in your Church fellowship. |

Our
free colourful Bible-a-Month Prayer Calendar offers information on a
different project each month for reflection. Donations sent in the
reply paid envelope will be turned into Scriptures. Around
£60,000 is received each year in this way. The calendar is used
by both individuals and Church groups for prayerful reflection.
Perhaps you, or a group you belong to, would take a calendar and
support the 12 projects pictured during the year. |

Consider
whether you wish to make a Will and so spare your relatives the
problems of dealing with your estate in the absence of your clearly
expressed wishes. Our Bible Society has produced a new, free 14-page
booklet to guide people before they make an appointment with a
solicitor to discuss making their Will. My
Will.....God's
Will has been drawn up with the help of Belfast
solicitors Cleaver, Fulton, Rankin to ensure that it complies fully
with the law in Northern Ireland, and it suggests that it is the duty
of every Christian to plan their Estate. It may be that some of those
who receive and read this booklet will wish to leave a bequest to The
Bible Society in Northern Ireland. That would allow us to
distribute Scriptures to more families across the world as an
enduring gift, so that they too can study God's Word and seek Eternal
life. The booklet is accompanied by a record card What
I own and where it is kept that allows us to record all
the significant information that relatives will need to know in the
event of our death. These are both available on request by phone or
by clicking the E-mail button on our Home page. |

Organise
an event in your church, school or group to raise funds for this
work. Every contribution will boost the number of families who will
receive the Scriptures for the first time. |

Your
church could 'adopt' a translation project - perhaps in a country
where your church has a particular interest. This would mean:
|
|
9 |
Become
the Bible Society Representative in your church. This would simply
involve showing Bible Society material to those in your congregation
who are interested and acting as a link between the congregation and
Bible House. |
|

Obtain
Scripture products through us. We cater for a very wide range of
English and foreign Scripture needs. Any surplus on each transaction
helps to fund translation/distribution work overseas. |
|
11 |
Give
us just a little of your time - as one of our team of volunteers you
could help in preparing the mailing out of our magazines or other
publications. Packing material in envelopes frees up staff time and
therefore reduces the high cost of keeping our supporters up to date. |
