IN 2019, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY CONTINUED ITS 203RD YEAR OF BIBLE-BASED MINISTRY AS WE FAITHFULLY MOVED AHEAD WITH OUR VISION TO SEE 100 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN GOD'S WORD BY THE YEAR 2026. WE WILL REACH THIS GOAL BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH CHURCHES AND OTHER BIBLE-BASED MINISTRIES IN CITIES ACROSS THE U.S., FEATURING OUR WIDE VARIETY OF SCRIPTURE RESOURCES IN PRINT AND DIGITAL FORMATS, AS WELL AS OUR BIBLE-BASED TRAUMA HEALING MINISTRY TO EASE ALL WOUNDED HEARTS WITH THE HEALING POWER OF GOD'S WORD. WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO CONTINUE OUR GLOBAL MINISTRY AS WE SEEK TO FINISH THE BIBLE TRANSLATION WORK AND SEE SCRIPTURE TRANSLATED INTO 100% OF THE WORLD'S LANGUAGES TO PROVIDE FIRST ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO EXP false false 88662039 37901326 91871784 AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETYS MISSION STATEMENT READS: TO MAKE THE BIBLE AVAILABLE TO EVERY PERSON IN A LANGUAGE AND FORMAT EACH CAN UNDERSTAND AND AFFORD, SO ALL PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE ITS LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY IS PROUD TO CONTINUE TO CARRY OUT THIS MISSION STATEMENT IN 2019 BY CONTINUING TO CHAMPION THE BIBLE AND DAILY ENGAGEMENT WITH GODS WORD WITH UNWAVERING FOCUS AND DEDICATION. SINCE 1816, WE HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BY OUR PASSION FOR THE BIBLE. IN OUR 203RD YEAR, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY CONTINUES TO INVITE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBE TO EXPERIENCE THE PROFOUND, LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE, FOCUSING ON THREE PILLARS OF WORK THAT ENABLE US TO CONTINUE TO CARRY OUT OUR MISSION: - TRANSLATION. WE MAKE THE WORD OF GOD AVAILABLE AND ALIVE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STILL WAITING FOR A BIBLE IN THEIR HEART LANGUAGE. WE WORK WITH MINISTRIES AND BIBLE SOCIETIES ACROSS THE GLOBE TO ACCELERATE BIBLE TRANSLATION THROUGH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, AND A SHARED SENSE OF URGENCY. BY 2026, WE WILL SEE 100% OF LANGUAGES OPEN TO SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT ENABLING ALL PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBE TO EXPERIENCE FIRST ENGAGEMENT WITH THE BIBLE IN THEIR HEART LANGUAGE. - TRAUMA HEALING. TRAUMA IS A BARRIER TO THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL. BIBLE-BASED TRAUMA HEALING USES THE POWER OF SCRIPTURE, COMBINED WITH MENTAL HEALTH BEST PRACTICES, TO BRING JOY TO WOUNDED HEARTS. WE BRING GODS MESSAGE OF LOVE, HOPE, AND REDEMPTION TO SOME OF THE WORLD'S DARKEST PLACES-REFUGEE CAMPS, ORPHANAGES, PRISONS, AND WAR-TORN VILLAGES. - TRANSFORMING AMERICA. WE ARE HONORED TO SERVE AS THE BIBLE SOCIETY FOR THE UNITED STATES. OUR NATION CONTINUES TO LONG FOR THE HOPE AND STABILITY OF THE BIBLE AND AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY EXISTS TO HELP PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT. AMERICAN VIRTUES LIKE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE ARE DRAWN FROM THE PAGES OF SCRIPTURE. THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY FROM THE FOUNDING FATHERS TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT THE BIBLE HAS GUIDED AMERICAN HEROES IN THEIR PURSUIT OF JUSTICE. TODAY, WE INVITE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO ENGAGE WITH THE WORD OF GOD TO TRANSFORM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR CITIES, AND OUR COUNTRY ONE HEART AT A TIME. SINCE 2011, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY AND THE RESEARCH FIRM, BARNA GROUP, HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LOOKING AT THE STATE OF THE BIBLE IN THE UNITED STATES IN AN EFFORT TO BEST EQUIP US IN GAUGING THE IMPACT OF OUR WORK. IN THE STATE OF THE BIBLE 2019, THE DATA SHOWS US THAT FEWER AMERICANS THAN IN 2018 ARE DISENGAGED WITH THE BIBLE. THIS MEANS THAT IN 2018, 54% OF THOSE SURVEYED REPORTED BEING DISENGAGED WITH THE BIBLE, BUT IN 2019, THAT NUMBER HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED WITH THE PERCENTAGE DROPPING TO 45%. AMONG THE OTHER KEY DATA POINTS THAT THE 2019 STUDY PROVIDED INCLUDE: - 49% OF BIBLE USERS SEE THEIR STEADY DIET OF ENGAGING WITH GODS WORD AS POSITIVELY CORRELATING TO DEEPER SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND A MORE RELATIONAL JOURNEY - 61% OF THOSE SURVEYED STATE THAT THEY ALWAYS EXPERIENCE A GREATER AWARENESS OF HOW MUCH THEY NEED GOD IN THEIR LIVES AFTER READING AND ENGAGING WITH THE BIBLE. - 6 IN 10 AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE HAS TRANSFORMED THEIR LIVES. WE ARE PLEASED TO SAY THAT THIS ENCOURAGING POINT WAS ALSO AT A CONSISTENT THRESHOLD IN 2018. ADDITIONAL FINDINGS FROM THE 2019 STATE OF THE BIBLE SURVEY INCLUDE: - 73% OF AMERICANS POSSESS SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE. - ONE IN SIX ADULTS IN THE U.S. REPORT USING THE BIBLE EACH DAY, WHILE 14% USE IT SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. - ANOTHER 9% OF THE POPULATION USES THE BIBLE ONCE A WEEK. - 56% OF ADULT AMERICANS EXPRESS A DESIRE TO USE THE BIBLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS, BUT CANT SEEM TO FIND THE TIME WITH THEIR BUSY LIVES AND HECTIC SCHEDULES. TO HELP WITH THIS CHALLENGE, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY HAS DEVELOPED MANY SIMPLE AND STREAMLINED BIBLE READING AND STUDY TOOLS ALL FREE OF CHARGE THROUGH OUR ONLINE BIBLE RESOURCE CENTER. IN ADDITION, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY HAS BEEN WORKING ON A SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM TO HELP AMERICANS BUILD IN TIME TO READ, ENGAGE, AND REFLECT WITH THE BIBLE AS THE FIRST THING WE DO EACH MORNING. STARTING THE DAY WITH GODS WORD WILL HELP EQUIP US AND SET A POSITIVE AND CALMING TONE SO WE CAN BE AT OUR BEST, EVERY DAY. IN ADDTION, THE 2019 STATE OF THE BIBLE DATA TELLS US THAT: - 76% OF THOSE SURVEYED WHO IDENTIFY AS BIBLE CENTERED STRONGLY AGREE THAT ENGAGEMENT WITH SCRIPTURE HAS RESULTED IN A WILLINGNESS TO MORE MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE IN THEIR FAITH. IN ADDITION, 71% SHOW MORE LOVING BEHAVIOR TO OTHERS. - 59% OF AMERICANS AGREE THAT THE BIBLE HAS TRANSFORMED THEIR LIVES. - 91% OF AMERICANS PREFER TO ENGAGE WITH THE BIBLE VIA A PRINT COPY. - ALTHOUGH THE BIBLE IN PRINT CONTINUES TO BE A PREFERENCE FOR THOSE IN THE U.S., MORE THAN HALF OF BIBLE USERS TODAY ALSO ACCESS GODS WORD ON A COMPUTER OR SMART PHONE. IN ADDITION, 44% OF THESE USERS DOWNLOADED THE BIBLE TO THEIR SMART PHONE OR MOBILE DEVICE. - 55% OF AMERICANS SURVEYED SAID THAT OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE WORSE OFF WITHOUT THE BIBLE. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY IS HONORED TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE UNITED STATES AND ALL THOSE WHO SEEK GODS WORD. WITHIN THESE DATAPOINTS LIE REAL OPPORTUNTIES THAT ENABLE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY TO NURTURE SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT WITH THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THE BIBLE AND TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT RESOURCES TO THOSE WHO WANT TO GROW IN GODS WORD. WE SEE THAT THE HUNGER IN THE U.S. FOR GODS WORD IS GROWING BY MANY PEOPLE AND IN MANY WAYS. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE GODS WORD FOR ALL WHO SEEK IT AND ENCOURAGE SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT WITH THE BIBLES LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE. THROUGH THE POWER OF GODS WORD, WE ARE SEEKING SUSTAINED BIBLE ENGAGEMENT FOR ALL THOSE WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE BIBLE. BIBLE ENGAGEMENT IS CONSISTENT INTERACTION WITH THE BIBLE THAT QUANTIFIABLY SHAPES PEOPLES CHOICES AND TRANSFORMS THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD AND OTHERS. IN ADDITION TO OUR WORK HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO CONTINUE OUR GLOBAL MINISTRY AS WE SEEK TO FINISH BIBLE TRANSLATION OF THE REMAINING 1,500 LANGUAGES THAT DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST A PORTION OF SCRIPTURE IN THEIR HEART LANGUAGE. MORE THAN ONE BILLION PEOPLE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE FIRST BIBLE IN THEIR HEART LANGUAGE. OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE A BIBLE TO EVERY WAITING PERSON IN THE WORLD BY 2026. IN 2019, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY INVESTED IN 113 TRANSLATION PROJECTS WORLD-WIDE. WHEN FINISHED, THEY WILL OPEN ACCESS TO GODS WORD TO 320 MILLION SPEAKERS ACROSS THE GLOBE. SINCE PROVIDING GODS WORD IN A LANGUAGE EACH PERSON CAN READ AND UNDERSTAND IS A KEY COMPONENT OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT, OUR WORK IN BIBLE TRANSLATION IS ESSENTIAL. THIS IS THE CALL THAT AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE MOBILIZED TO ANSWER. OUR WORK IN THIS MINISTRY IS KNOWN AS EVERY TRIBE, EVERY NATION/ILLUMINATIONSAN ALLIANCE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER THE LARGEST BIBLE AGENCIES IN THE WORLD, INCLUDING AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY, BIBLICA, AND WYCLIFFE. TOGETHER, THIS ALLIANCE PROVIDES THE TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES TO UNIFY OUR WORK AND MOST EFFICIENTLY DISTRIBUTE GOD'S WORD TO WAITING PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. ONCE A LANGUAGE IS TRANSLATED USING OUR CURRENT STANDARDS OF ACCELERATED TRANSLATION, THE TEXT IS DIGITIZED AND STORED IN A DIGITAL REPOSITORY KNOWN AS THE DIGITAL BIBLE LIBRARY. THROUGH THIS COLLABORATIVE MINISTRY, OVER 2,300 TEXTS ARE NOW SAFEGUARDED IN THAT LIBRARY. FROM THAT POINT, THE BIBLE IN EACH HEART LANGUAGE CAN BE PRINTED, SLOTTED FOR PRINT ON DEMAND, OR USED ON A MOBILE PHONE, WEBSITE, OR COMPUTER. IT CAN ALSO BE DOWNLOADED AND TRANSFERRED IN AUDIO FORMAT. DURING 2019, WE ADDED 423 NEW TEXTS IN 292 LANGUAGES, MEANING THE DIGITAL BIBLE LIBRARY IS NOT ONLY HOME TO 2,316 BIBLICAL TEXTS, IT ALSO REPRESENTS OVER 1,500 UNIQUE LANGUAGES SPOKEN ACROSS THE WORLD. ANOTHER KEY COMPONENT OF OUR WORK IN TRANSLATION IS OUR ONGOING AFFILIATION AND PARTNERSHIP WITH UNITED BIBLE SOCIETIES, WHICH REPRESENTS NEARLY 150 NATIONAL BIBLE SOCIETIES WORKING IN OVER 200 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES. THE BIBLE SOCIETIES PROVIDE ON-THE-GROUND STAFF AND EXPERTISE IN TRANSLATING, PUBLISHING, AND DISTRIBUTING SCRIPTURE. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY CONTINUES TO PARTNER WITH UNITED BIBLE SOCIETIES ON OVER 400 SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS ACROSS THE GLOBE. THE COMPLETION OF GLOBAL TRANSLATION PROJECTS ENABLE VARIOUS OTHER SCRIPTURE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS TO GROW. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR END-TO-END PROGRAM THAT WE DEPLOY ACROSS THE GLOBE, LEVERAGES VIDEO, AUDIO, AND VARIOUS SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT TOOLS IN THE HEART LANGUAGES OF THE SPEAKERS IN EACH PARTICULAR REGION. IN 2019, WE ADDED SEVEN COUNTRIES TO THE END-TO-END PROGRAM TO REACH OVER 670,000 PEOPLE AND PLANT MORE THAN 300 NEW CHURCHES, AS A RESULT OF THE NEWFOUND ENGAGEMENT WITH GODS WORD. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY IS ALSO PROUD TO CONTINUE TO OFFER OUR NIDA INSTITUTE FOR BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP, LOCATED AT AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY'S HEADQUARTERS IN PHILADELPHIA. IT SERVES THOSE WORKING IN THE WORLD OF BIBLE TRANSLATION THROUGH LEADING RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP, TRAINING, AND PUBLISHING SERVICES.

THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS (QUASI-ENDOWMENT) HELP SUBSIDIZE THE OPERATING BUDGET VIA AN ANNUAL SPENDING FORMULA, WHICH ALLOWS MORE CURRENT DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO DIRECTLY FUND PROGRAMS. A SPENDING FORMULA IS ALSO APPLIED TO THE RESTRICTED FUNDS (TRUE ENDOWMENT) WHICH ARE APPROPRIATED FOR BOTH GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PURPOSES AS DESIGNATED BY ORIGINAL DONOR INTENT. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY HAS MAINTAINED THE HISTORICAL PRINCIPAL VALUE ON TRUE ENDOWMENTS. ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2010, NEW YORK STATE PASSED THE NEW YORK STATE UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT. ALL NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FORMED IN NEW YORK, INCLUDING THE SOCIETY, MUST COMPLY WITH THIS LAW, COMMENCING WITH THE SOCIETY'S 2011 FISCAL YEAR.

ABS program services, in conjunction with UBS, include Bible distribution, translation, engagement and advocacy. The UBS solicits and researches various Bible distribution projects proposed by the national Bible societies and makes such projects available to the fellowship (including ABS) for funding. ABS signs a research and funding agreement with beneficiaries of ABS grants. This allows us to monitor and evaluate funds sent to each country. ABS researches projects before funding for project impact (life change), goal alignment, financial risk, environmental risk, managerial risks (implementer on the ground) and other possibly inherent risks. ABS receives and reviews progress reports to monitor the use of funds as a project progresses. At the end of the project, ABS or the partner conducts an assessment of results to compare with plan and budget. Information on results is relayed to management and the donor constituency. Unused funds are retrieved from the implementer and the donor's permission is obtained to redirect funds to similar projects in other countries. ABS conducts field visits to validate and document information. Some of these visits are done with participation of the major donors of these ministry projects. Our overall international program expenditure is closely monitored internally by different specially appointed groups (task forces, ad hoc groups or committees) and duly reported to our board on a quarterly basis.
