The entire world has been hearing about the catastrophic bushfires which have been burning across Australia since Christmas. It is hard to take in the magnitude of the damage being done. Bible Society is grateful for the expertise and passion of Australia’s first responders who have put their own lives at risk day after day to defend communities.

While Bible Society is not a first responder during disasters such as this, we recognise we play a significant part in supporting people’s spiritual lives, as they come face-to-face with death, fear, survivor guilt and so much more. This is why we are supporting churches, chaplains and other local partners working in affected areas by replacing Bibles and providing Scripture resources alongside emergency needs.
