challenges to be involved in the exciting and vital
ministry of Bike for Bibles.
Rides range from just a few kilometres to much
longer marathon rides, with events planned around
Australia and overseas. You can be part of Bike for

The Bible Society in Australia was started in 1817. It is an interdenominational organisation devoted to putting the Bible into people's hands. Their official aim is to ;
`provide the Word of God to all people, in their own language, in a format they can use and at a price they can afford.'
The Bible Society is part of a large network of similar organisations, numbering 120, and located in 200 countries.
Parts of the Bible have now been translated into over 2,300 languages. Complete Bibles are available in 900 languages.
