Download Sower WINTER 2021 Sower. BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA. OPEN THE BIBLE AT HOME 2 OPEN THE BIBLE AT HOME s I write this, the team at Bible Society is working feverishly on the End of Financial Year Appeal, focussing on Bible Society’s missional work at home. Many of you are passionate about our Indigenous translation work, forA instance. As I am! The Bible Translation process outlined in our Autumn Sower demonstrates the complexity and biblical thoroughness of the work. In this Sower, you will read about projects our Remote Indigenous Ministry Support (RIMS) team is undertaking alongside different Aboriginal communities and other translation partners. Earlier this year, a group of Christian leaders in the not-for-profit, church and education areas came together at our national Parliament House to discuss a Church Community Restoration Project with the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader and other politicians. This enabled an impromptu meeting with the Minister for Indigenous Affairs (and Nyoongar man) Ken Wyatt. We had the privilege of presenting Minister Wyatt with a copy of the Book of Ruth in Nyoongar, along with Our Mob, God’s Story, and to talk with him about how we can best partner with Government in serving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I pray that your heart will be moved as you read in this Sower about the people at the centre of our projects: how some of our Bible Society partners have been impacted by COVID-19; the delight of parents as they sign up their new offspring for a Toddler Bible through our ‘Bibles for Bubs’ program; and the work of school chaplains as they help young students understand this big, complex world. Thank you for your prayer and financial support. Your commitment is helping us honour our commitments to our project partners in Opening The Bible to all people, both here in Australia and overseas. “...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8, NIV GOD BLESS, Grant Thomson CEO, BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA 3 “I pray that your heart will be moved as you read this Sower...” 4 OPEN THE BIBLE AT HOME Open The Bible At Home For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ - Galatians 5:14, NIV BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA 5 TO ALL PEOPLE.

Lily feels a sense of pride about being able to put Christian resources into her people’s own words. Let that sink in. “I didn’t think it would be easy like that; well, The vast majority of First Nations brothers I find it easy anyway to translate anything. I do and sisters in Christ do not have God’s word my best. I travel by the grace of the Lord and in their heart language. That’s a precious gift that’s how I’m getting that work done. I believe so many of us simply take for granted. While that by faith you can do anything, especially about 22 Indigenous languages have, at least, keeping the language going.” one complete Old or New Testament book, there are about 120 Indigenous languages spoken in “It’s very important to me.

  • 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.

Your contributions were fantastic! Sowing for Eternity. Eternal Seed. Beyond. Given. Trinity. However, the overwhelming consensus was to stick with Bible Society Magazine, as that name says it all. 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.
