The Bible Society of Nigeria has assured the Church that it would continue to play it role to make the Written Word of God available to promote kingdom work.

The Society has also stated that with the desired support from the Church, the Written Word of God would be more accessible by the Christian Community in the country.

This assurance was given in Port Harcourt on Sunday by the Chairman, Rivers/Bayelsa Area of the Society, Elder Omoni Ayo-Tamuno, at the Christ Apostolic Church, Tourist Bleach Road, Port Harcourt, while addressing the congregation as part of the Founders Day Celebration.

Elder Ayo-Tamuno said: “It is becoming nearly impossible for the Society to deliver on its mandate due to the high exchange rate, but with the full support of the Church the Society is ever ready make the Bible available.

“The Society is still in the front banner of playing the role of a worthy assistance to the Church in providing the Bible to meet up its kingdom work.

“The field is ready for harvest but the workers are not available because a good number of our pastors or Christians are not giving the Society the needed cooperation.”

Ayo-Tamuno observed that the Church had not been cooperating with the Society in the past and expressed the hope that the present leadership of the Church would change the narratives for the better.

He noted with delight that the present leadership of the Church being a Special Member of the Society would support the Society

The BSN Rivers/Bayelsa Chairman appealed to the Church to source for its Bibles from the Society to enable the Area achieve its Bible Distribution target as demanded by the BSN Headquarters and thanked the Church for the opportunity to visit it.

Speaking later, the Superintendent of the Coordinating Council of the Borikiri District of the Church, Pastor Isaac O. Oke, disclosed that “without the intervention of the Society, it would have been very difficult to access the Bible in our churches”.

Pastor Oke pledged that the churches under the District would support the Society and commend the team for the visit.

Highlight of the occasion was the presentation of New Testament Bibles and other BSN literature to the Church.
