How does Bible Society operate in China?
The true stories of smuggling Bibles into authoritarian countries are powerful and inspiring but the way Bible Society goes about business in China has evolved over the years.
China's churches invite us to engage in Bible translation initiatives, support Bible students, and provide training for pastors and lay preachers. Many local authorities in China have come to trust us as an organisation.
During the Cultural Revolution, Bibles were burned, but in 1987, with permission from the authorities, we helped establish a Bible printing press, known as Amity Press, in Nanjing. Since then, more than 90 million copies of Bibles have been printed there for distribution in China. From a banned book, the Bible became a bestseller in China.
It takes much care and thought to cultivate a trusted relationship with the Chinese authorities as a foreign religious organisation. But the result is that we are able to launch many projects in China without fear of them being shut down.
