HOW GOD USES EVERYDAY WORK FOR TIMELINESS PURPOSES IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD

The Bible showcases a diverse array of workers, highlighting the importance of every vocation in fulfilling God’s eternal purposes. Just as God is constantly at work, our daily tasks mirror His divine activity.

This sense of vocation shapes our character, deepens our spiritual life, and offers opportunities to witness and serve others. Our work contributes to the welfare of society and reflects the new creation God is bringing into being. As His agents in the present, we also become exemplars of the future He envisions.

The Bible Society of Singapore works to make Bibles available to the nations through the work of translating and publishing Bibles and various Scripture resources into the heart language of people around the world.

It works to make the Bible accessible to those around us through Bible distribution efforts, as well as by enabling people to read through supporting literacy programmes in Southeast Asia and beyond.

For those who already have access, they work to make the Bible credible through a variety of engagement programmes like classes and conferences, and advocacy work such as lectures with ETHOS Institute.
