History of Bible Society of Myanmar
The world’s first Bible Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society, was founded in 1804. Due to the good intentions and activities of the Bible Society, other countries soon began to establish Bible Societies for their respective countries.
In 1946, the United Bible Societies (UBS) was formed, bringing together Bible Societies from various countries around the world for the spread of religion. Currently, more than 148 Bible Societies from various countries are members of the United Bible Societies (UBS), helping each other and working together for the ministry of the Holy Bible.
The British and Foreign Bible Society began the ministry of the Holy Bible in Myanmar in 1889. Due to political changes in Myanmar in 1962, foreign missionaries returned to their respective countries, and in 1964, Myanmar Christian leaders reorganized it as the Bible Society of Myanmar. It was led by Myanmar citizens.
The Bible Society of Myanmar became a full member of the United Bible Societies (UBS) in 1969.
The Bible Society of Myanmar (BSM) has a long and faithful history of serving God’s people by making His Word accessible to everyone.
