Sower. BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA AUTUMN 2021 Sower. BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA. TO ALL PEOPLE. BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. 2 TO ALL PEOPLE. BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. elcome to our new look Sower. After listening to your feedback, which was a fantastic mix of positive and not- quite-so about the trial combined magazine of Sower, Eternity and Koorong, we have decided to return to WSower being on its own. The most vocal voices came from our commit- ted Sower readers who felt they weren’t receiving the depth of content that they have always valued regarding Bible Society’s international and Australian projects. I know you are going to love this magazine. Our hope is that you will treasure each edition. Share it with others. Leave it on your coffee table so you can go back to it and so others can also enjoy the stories. While this is a dedicated Sower magazine - introducing you to new pro- jects, reporting back on those you have financially contributed to, and seeking your prayers for the work of Bible Society here in Australia and internationally - we want to also share the good news of Eternity, the writings of CPX and highlights from Koorong’s catalogue. No longer a combined magazine, but a few tasters perhaps? In this edition, our feature article is on an important new project in Rwanda. It will be 30 years in 2024 since the world was shocked by the Rwandan genocide, and not surprisingly there is increasing tension between the Hutus and the Tutsis. This important project seeks to teach important Biblical lessons which will help primary and secondary students learn about forgiveness, reconciliation and healing. As you know, an important part of our work is translation of the Bible. This has been a key plank of Bible Society’s work since it was formed in 1817. However, many of us do not know how complex the translation process is. Look out for the step-by-step guide in Sower which explains the different stages to the completion of just one book of the Bible. I want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support of Bible Society. Without you, we could not fund projects in Rwanda, Vietnam, Kenya and the extraordinary work of Arab/Israel capacity building - and much, much more. “... Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:33-34 God Bless, Grant Thomson CEO, BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA 3 “Thank you for your ongoing support of Bible Society’s work.” 4 TO ALL PEOPLE.

So, welcome to Bible Society Magazine issue 2. We will continue fine-tuning the look and feel of the different sections of our magazine. I mentioned in the last edition about our Staff Devotion on Wednesdays. Over the past few weeks I have been leading a series on culture. In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul tells Timothy to ‘hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.’ (NKJV) As I spoke to the Bible Society team across Australia, I painted the picture of a patchwork quilt. All the different squares, different pat- terns, can look mismatched or disjointed up close, but when knitted together they form a magnificent cohesive whole. As Christians we are urged to hold fast to the pattern of words which have been laid down, knitted together, in the Bible and by Christian thinkers, theologians, writers, pastors, leaders, friends, over the centuries since Paul wrote that letter.
