IBS Responds with Scriptures to Victims of the Most Devastating Earthquake since 1967

03.01.2005

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado—Monday morning, December 27, International Bible Society (IBS) mobilized to reach out with God’s Word to people affected by the December 26 earthquake/tsunami disaster inIndonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.

Approximately 100,000 When Your Whole World Changes booklets will be distributed to relief agencies in these countries. The booklet includes Scripture passages and devotional content that share hope, truth, and counsel in a month’s worth of Bible-based readings.

IBS is providing When Your Whole World Changes and other Scripture materials to collaborating agencies already working among the people in need. These groups include:

• Humanitarian agencies such as World Vision and Food for the Hungry that provide physical relief.
• Local churches and Protestant denominations who will give Scripture to those they counsel and encourage.
• Government agencies that allow us to place Scripture materials in hospitals and other governmental facilities where relief aid is given.

Individuals wishing to donate to IBS’ ongoing Emergency Scripture Fund may do

so by calling toll-free 1-800-987-3595 or by visiting www.IBSMinistry.org/disasterfund. For general information about IBS, please visit www.IBS.org.

International Bible Society, founded in 1809, faithfully translates and reaches out with God’s Word so that people around the world may become disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His Body.
