SEOUL STATEMENT FROM THE 8TH UBS WORLD ASSEMBLY, 2010

Identity and Ethos of the UBS

1. We reaffirm the mission and mandate of the UBS as adopted at Midrand. In the context of growing needs and limited resources, we will develop and maintain a strategic balance of translation, production, distribution, engagement and advocacy activities. This will include:
a. Strategic research and planning to prioritize the translation needs of particular languages and communities.
b. Analysis of audience needs to determine which parts of Scripture require translation, and in which formats they should be made available.

History of Bible Work in Ghana

The real story of Bible work can be traced back to the desire of a young Welsh girl, Mary Jones, to own a Bible in her own language. Mary was born in Wales in 1784 at a time when Bibles were very scarce and expensive. This little girl longed for her own Bible from a young age and saved for years to be able to buy one. In 1800, when she was 16 years old, she travelled on foot for about 40 km in order to obtain her own Bible.

Why we exist

The Bible Society of Ghana is a non - denominational Christian organization registered under the Trustees Act, 1962 of the Republic of Ghana. It exists to make God’s Word available and affordable and encourage its use.
