THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, BIBLE SOCIETIES EMERGED WHENEVER CHRISTIANS CAME TOGETHER and realized their need for Scriptures that everyone could access and relate to in their own language and cultural perspectives. There was great a sense of ownership and partnership as these initial Bible Societies partnered with the Local Church to see new congregations grow in discipleship and experience the Word of God in a way that truly touched their hearts. Thus, this became the guiding mission of Bible Societies around the world.
In Malaysia, organized Bible Society work has been going on since 1815. Then, on 15 October 1985, the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) was officially formed after becoming independent from the Bible Society of Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei. We continue our work today as a member of the United Bible Societies Fellowship - the international body for Bible Societies.
BSM serves the Malaysian Church by proactively advocating and being a partner-resource for the Word of God in Missions. We work with churches and organizations to fulfill the Great Commission by making the Word of God easily available and accessible to all.
BSM has also spearheaded and coordinated numerous projects to further the Bible Cause in Malaysia. Such projects have resulted in the Bahasa Malaysia Alkitab - the complete Bible in the Malaysian national language. We have also partnered with other mission agencies to translate the Scriptures into various ethnic dialects so the natives of Malaysia (such as the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak) may come to know Christ through the Scriptures in their own language.
