Story
On Sunday 11 May Bible Society staff and supporters will be taking part in the Great Bristol Run.
Reading and understanding the Bible has transformed our lives and we want everyone, especially those in desperate situations, to discover its life-changing message for themselves.
We’re running with an end goal: We know that every mile that we persevere and every pound that we raise will encourage others to run their own race of faith.
I've seen the Bible change so many lives. I've had the privilege to read the Bible with people in prison and people seeking asylum. Reading the Bible in this context is like tasting the sweetest honey in the world. It's heaven! I want as many people to have this experience as possible. I'm fundraising for Bible Society to point people to the person of Jesus. - Harry

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. - Hebrews 12.1-2 (NIV)
The Bible brings hope and healing
You can help people like Andriy and Yana, who were forced to flee their home in Ukraine and leave everything behind. They found sanctuary at a church in Lviv and came to faith by reading a Bible funded by generous supporters like you. Studying the Bible and being part of a local church community is helping them find God’s comfort and healing for their family.
