BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS FOR ALL PEOPLE, OUR TRANSLATION MINISTRY INCLUDES AUDIO AND VIDEO BIBLES, SIGN LANGUAGE BIBLES, BRAILLE BIBLES, AND BIBLE RESOURCES THAT CONTEXTUALIZE THE GOSPEL MESSAGE FOR DIVERSE CULTURES AND TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD. OUR INNOVATIVE TRANSLATION FRAMEWORK ALLOWS US TO ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY TRANSLATE FIRST BIBLES, STUDY BIBLES, AND MODERN LANGUAGE BIBLES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. WE ALSO DISTRIBUTE THE BIBLE WITH THE AIM OF PLACING GOD'S WORD INTO THE HANDS AND HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR TRUTH. SINCE OUR FOUNDING, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 6.9 BILLION PIECES OF SCRIPTURE WORLDWIDE. OFTEN, OUR BIBLE DISTRIBUTION MINISTRY LEADS US TO THE FRONTLINES OF CONFLICT, WAR, TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS, AND OTHER HUMANITARIAN CRISES. WE JOYFULLY PARTNER WITH LOCAL BIBLE SOCIETIES MINISTERING IN MORE THAN 240 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES AROUND THE WORLD TO ENSURE EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION THROUGH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. OUR BIBLE SOCIETY PARTNERS ARE EXPERTS ON THEIR NATIONS' CHURCH CULTURES AND HELP US RESPOND TO THE REAL-TIME SCRIPTURE NEEDS OF LOCAL BELIEVERS.

BY ENGAGING WITH THE BIBLE'S HEALING WORDS IN SAFE, SMALL GROUP SETTINGS, PEOPLE ARE GUIDED TO GIVE THEIR PAIN TO JESUS AND BEGIN THE JOURNEY TO JOY AND RESTORATION.

IN ADDITION, WE SHARE FREE BASIC TRAUMA HEALING RESOURCES TO INCREASE AWARENESS IN THE CHURCH AND EQUIP BELIEVERS TO CARE FOR PEOPLE IN CRISIS. SINCE 2012, THIS MINISTRY HAS BUILT A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF TRAINED FACILITATORS WHO COME ALONGSIDE LOCAL COMMUNITIES OF FAITH TO SERVE PEOPLE IN CRISIS THROUGH BIBLE-BASED TRAUMA HEALING. JUST UNDER 15,000 PEOPLE COMPLETED A HEALING GROUP IN 2024. GOD'S WORD FOR AMERICA HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, WE ADVOCATE FOR THE BIBLE AS THE LIVING WORD OF GOD AND OUR SUREST SOURCE OF TRUTH. WE ENGAGE AMERICANS WITH THE BIBLE BY PROVIDING RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCES THAT HELP PEOPLE ENCOUNTER AND LIVE OUT THE TRUTHS OF SCRIPTURE. OUR DAILY DEVOTIONALS, PRAYER GUIDES, BIBLE STORIES, AND TEACHINGS ARE UNIQUELY CONTEXTUALIZED TO SERVE A DIVERSE AUDIENCE OF BELIEVERS AND SEEKERS.

IN THE PAST YEAR, THIS MINISTRY REACHED OVER 400,000 PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY COMMUNITY. SINCE 2011, OUR STATE OF THE BIBLE RESEARCH HAS PROVIDED INSIGHTS INTO HOW AMERICANS VIEW AND USE THE BIBLE AND WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IN THEIR LIVES. THIS RESEARCH INDICATES PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE WITH SCRIPTURE MORE DEEPLY EXPERIENCE LESS STRESS, MORE HOPE, HIGHER LEVELS OF HUMAN FLOURISHING, AND LOWER LEVELS OF LONELINESS THAN THOSE WHO INTERACT WITH THE BIBLE LESS FREQUENTLY AND GIVE IT A LESS CENTRAL PLACE IN THEIR LIVES. 18 PERCENT OF AMERICANS WERE SCRIPTURE ENGAGED IN 2024, AND WE PRAY THIS PROPORTION WILL INCREASE IN THE COMING YEARS. IN FEBRUARY 2024, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY MADE THE STRATEGIC DECISION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC-FACING OPERATIONS OF THE FAITH AND LIBERTY DISCOVERY CENTER ("FLDC") ON APRIL 1, 2024. FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE CLOSURE OF THE FLDC AND CONTINUING ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE THE FURTHERANCE OF ITS MISSION CAN BE FOUND WITHIN THE CURRENT 990 OF THAT ENTITY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
