Community Relations Executive - Bible Society of Singapore, The

Company Description

The Bible Mission started in Singapore in 1823 when the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) distributed 1,000 Chinese New Testaments to early settlers through Rev Dr Robert Morrison, the first protestant missionary to China. This led to the formation of the Singapore Auxiliary Bible Society in 1837, which subsequently underwent numerous name changes until it was renamed to The Bible Society of Singapore in 1992. We are a member of the global fellowship of Bible Societies comprising 147 national Bible Societies in more than 200 countries and territories.

The mission of the Bible Society is to make the Word of God known to all people by making it Available through the work of Translation & Publishing , Accessible through Distribution & Literacy programmes, and Credible through Engagement & Advocacy . As part of our holistic ministry and mission, we also respond to people in crisis situations overseas and in Singapore. Besides providing Scriptures, we also contribute toward their basic needs such as food and basic necessities, as well as mental wellness for holistic wellbeing for the marginalised and vulnerable communities in Singapore.
