It was the determined and passionate efforts of a young girl called Mary Jones to obtain a copy of a Bible 200 years ago which inspired a group of men in London, England to start what became the first Bible Society in the World.  The Bible Society movement has been faithfully translating, publishing and making available the Holy Scripture for the last 200 years.  The Bible Societies continue today to encourage people to think differently about the Bible.  In working with the church to lay out the Bible message, the Bible Societies aim to see the Bible known, loved and respected everywhere.  The Bible Society seeks to carry out its task in partnership and cooperation with all the Churches and with Christian organisations.

The Bible Society in the Gulf is responsible to constantly provide the Scriptures in the Arabian Peninsula.  The aim is to relate and partner with all churches and para-church organisations by:-

Providing the Bible in a language that people can understand, at a price they can afford and in a form they can use.
Creating products and communication methods, which help people understand and interact with the Scriptures.
Providing Christian literature and resources.
Raising financial and prayer support through the involvement of individuals and churches.
Making the Scripture available in the Arabian Peninsula at affordable prices to support and equip the ministry of the Church and Church-related organisations in the region.

Specific Bahrain Distribution projects include:
Sinhala Bibles for garments factory workers.
Bibles for transit camps
Scripture for labour camps
Mega voice players for illiterate people.
