Join the Activebible team race to raise funds and help distribute Bibles to migrants and foreign workers in the Gulf States.

Wellington

This year the ActiveBible team want to help bring the hope of the Bible to migrants and low income workers in the UAE who are battling feelings of hopelessness and despair due to being away from home. Many of them are also dealing with difficult working conditions.

Members of the team have registered for various events like the marathon, half marathon, 10k, 5km, recreational walks and kid's challenges.

They're training hard for this event and part of their motivation in joining is their desire to see the Bible transform people's lives.

Please help the team reach their goal by:

1. donating through this givealittle cause page or

2. sign up to run, walk and fundraise with the team.

About us

We are a charity dedicated to helping make the Bible accessible to everyone and encouraging interaction with it. We do this by working with the whole Christian church.

Bible Society was established in New Zealand in 1846 and is a member of the United Bible Societies (UBS), a global network of Bible Societies operating in more than 200 countries and territories. Bible Societies co-operate to make the Bible available to people everywhere in a language they can understand and at a price they can afford.

We are a donor-supported organisation that depends on the prayers and financial support of Christian individuals and churches in New Zealand.

Use of funds

Your support will help provide funds for the Bible Society in the Gulf States to carry out the following projects:

1. distribute 300 Bibles in various languages to imprisoned migrant workers in Bahrain.

2. supply 1,500 illiterate and semi-literate migrant workers with Scriptures in their heart language in an audio/visual format.

3. provide 100 Bibles to children of migrant workers in Oman.

Having seen a bit of Dubai on a tourist stop-over, I can testify that the 'Wow!' factor of opulence is ever-present. Sadly, what we don't see is the slavery that it takes to maintain that image. Thanks for raising awareness of this hidden exploitation.
