Audio & Braille Bibles

THE CAUSE
In the spirit of the Lord’s command to bring good news to every corner of the world, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to hear the truth and good news of the gospel.
That’s why we are partnering with Bible Societies in Kyrgyzstan, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, where many people are still waiting for Scripture they can easily read or hear. These teams are working tirelessly to provide audio Scriptures and Braille Bibles, helping ensure that God’s Word is accessible those who are visually impaired, illiterate, or impoverished.
Simply use the secure online donation form or internet banking to make your gift to help make the Bible accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
THE IMPACT
Your gift today will help:
Kyrgyzstan
Support the Planting House Churches in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia project. In 2026, the Bible Society plans to distribute more than 6,000 devices loaded with audio and video Bibles for people with low literacy, the elderly, and those living in areas with limited internet access.
Zimbabwe
Expand the Faith Comes by Hearing project, reaching 450 people with low literacy through audio Bibles in their own languages using compact digital players known as Proclaimers and Torch Audio Bibles.
Uganda
Provide Braille Bibles for 10,000 people with visual disabilities across four regions, bringing dignity, hope, and the opportunity to encounter God’s Word for themselves.
“It is not we who change people, but God through His Word. God’s Word is living in every generation.”
Elmien, Voice from Kyrgyzstan
Thank You for Making This Year of Bible Mission Possible
On behalf of everyone at Bible Society New Zealand, thank you for your prayers and generous support. Because of you, we’ve been able to celebrate some significant milestones and continue sharing God’s Word with people who need it most.
This year we celebrated the launch of the Urak LawoiBible translation in Thailand and, closer to home, the first-ever complete Bible for the people of Tokelau—a historic moment that will bless generations to come. We also released a newly updated Cook Islands Māori Bible, helping ensure God’s Word remains accessible in the heart language of Cook Islands communities in New Zealand.
Your support also helped distribute more than 190,000 Bibles and Scripture resources across homes, prisons, schools, churches, and communities throughout the country.
Globally, your generosity supported 49 Bible projects, helping address Bible poverty and strengthen Bible engagement.
As we approach our 180th year of Bible mission in New Zealand, thank you for standing with us and helping more people encounter the hope of God’s Word.
