WHY WE EXIST

God's Word should never be out of reach.

City Bibles is a mission organization committed to making the Bible available worldwide in as many languages and formats as possible. We believe that cost, complexity and licensing should never become unnecessary barriers between people and the Word of God.

Every language matters.

People should be able to read, hear and discover Scripture in a language they understand.

Stewardship is ministry.

Every euro saved in production can help place another Bible into someone's hands.

Partnership multiplies impact.

We serve the local church and work alongside ministries, translators, publishers and Bible societies.

The first City Bible project in Veenendaal

OUR STORY

One Discovery
Changed
Everything.

More than twenty years ago we wanted to print a New Testament for our hometown of Veenendaal.

The only edition available cost around €6 per copy. We printed 3,000 copies anyway, investing more than €18,000 to share the Gospel.

Surely there must be a better way.

We started working directly with printers and discovered that the same New Testament could be produced in high quality for less than €1.

That raised one simple question.

How many more people could receive God's Word if unnecessary costs were removed?

That question became the foundation of City Bibles.
