| Description | AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY ("ABS") BRINGS GOD'S WORD WHERE IT'S NEEDED MOST. WE LONG FOR A WORLD WHERE EVERY GENERATION WHOLEHEARTEDLY EMBRACES GOD'S WORD, WHERE THE HOPES OF YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA AND MILLIONS MORE ACROSS THE GLOBE ARE TRANSFORMED BY THE LIVING HOPE FOUND IN THE BIBLE. DOMESTIC PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR DOMESTIC PROGRaMS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO BRINGING A RENAISSANCE FOR GOD'S WORD HERE IN AMERICA. WE ALSO ARE EXTENDING OUR REACH TO TODAY'S CHURCHES, INVITING MILLIONS TO RECONSIDER AND RENEW THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH GOD'S WORD. EQUIPPING AMERICA'S CHURCHES NEW YORK CITY LEADERSHIP CENTER CATALYZED LEADERSHIP TEAMS FROM AMERICA'S LARGEST CITIES TO SERVE MORE EFFECTIVELY THROUGH HIGH-LEVEL, CITY-CHANGING COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS. MORE THAN 1,487 CHURCH LEADERS FROM 250 CITIES GATHERED FOR MOVEMENT DAY TO MAKE THE CASE FOR SCRIPTURE, PRAYER AND JOINT SERVICE AMONG CHRISTIANS. CHURCH LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF CITY MOVEMENTS WERE CHALLENGED TO ENGAGE WITH GOD'S WORD AND PRAY FOR 30 MINUTES EACH DAY. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH CONCERTS OF PRAYER GREATER NEW YORK AND THE NEW YORK CITY LEADERSHIP CENTER, WE DEVELOPED "NOW IS THE TIME: ACTS." THIS 30-DAY READING CAMPAIGN FOCUSED ON THE BOOK OF ACTS AND INVITED CHURCHES TO READ THROUGH IT AS THEY PRAYED TO INCREASE BIBLE LITERACY AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. THE ACTS JOURNEY INCLUDES TRACKS FOR ADULTS, YOUTH AND CHILDREN. COMPANION MATERIALS INCLUDE READING PLANNERS, DISCUSSION GUIDES AND SERMON OUTLINES. CHURCHES ACROSS AMERICA PARTICIPATED, RESULTING IN 93,436 PEOPLE WHO JOURNEYED THROUGH "NOW IS THE TIME: ACTS." WILLOW CREEK ASSOCIATION AND ABS collaborated TO ASSIST LEADERS IN STRENGTHENING THEIR SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS. THROUGH THE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT, ABS CONNECTED WITH MORE THAN 65,000 U.S. MINISTRY LEADERS, WHO REPRESENT A DIVERSITY OF DENOMINATIONS, CULTURES, ETHNICITIES AND WORKPLACES. ABS AND WILLOW CREEK ALSO COLLABORATED TO BRING SCRIPTURE RESOURCES TO LEADERS TO HELP THEM EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE THEIR CONGREGATIONS IN THE WORD OF GOD. THE BROCHURE-"WHERE'S YOUR CHAIR"-WAS DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE LEADERS TO RETHINK THE WAY THEY ENGAGE WITH SCRIPTURE AND, IN TURN, ENCOURAGE THEM TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT CENTRAL IN THE LIVES OF THOSE TO WHOM THEY MINISTER. THE CHAIR SYMBOLIZED A TIME AND PLACE WHERE ONE MEETS WITH GOD DAILY TO READ HIS WORD AND PRAY. CONGREGANTS AT ALL LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND REFLECT ON SCRIPTURE FOR MEANING IN THEIR LIVES. THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD IS TO BE CHANGED BY THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD. CATHOLIC MINISTRIES CATHOLIC MINISTRIES HAS INTENSIFIED ABS' FLAGSHIP PROGRAM FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH- "LECTIO DIVINA"-FOR ADULTS AND YOUTHS. DURING THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, WE HAVE HELD 20 "TRAINING OF TRAINERS" WORKSHOPS. OUR MANUAL ON "LECTIO DIVINA" ALSO HAS BEEN TRANSLATED BY THE LIBRERIA EDITRICE VATICANA, THE VATICAN PUBLISHING HOUSE, into italian AND IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE, ALONG WITH OUR ENGLISH AND SPANISH BY THEM. OUR EFFORTS TO OFFER SCHOLARLY BIBLICAL EDUCATION FOR CATHOLIC LEADERSHIP CONTINUE THROUGH OUR "BIBLE SUMMIT"PROGRAM. MORE THAN 500 PARTICIPANTS ATTENDED THE ANNUAL NORTHEAST REGIONAL SUMMIT IN NEW YORK. PROMINENT SCHOLARS IN THE FIELD OF BIBLICAL STUDIES PRESENTED AT THE EVENT, WHICH ABS COSPONSORED WITH THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW YORK. THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS WERE THE REVEREND JAMES MARTIN (IN ENGLISH) AND COLOMBIA'S CARDINAL RUBEN SALAZAR (IN SPANISH). 250 LEADERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY ATTENDED THE CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION OF LATINO LEADERS ANNUAL CONVENTION IN MIAMI. THE SPEAKERS AT THIS THREE-DAY CONFERENCE WERE THE PAPAL NUNCIO OF THE UNITED STATES, HIS EXCELLENCY, CARLO MARIA VIGANO; THE ARCHBISHOP OF LOS ANGELES, JOSE GOMEZ; AND HIS EMINENCE, SEAN CARDINAL O'MALLEY, ARCHBISHOP OF BOSTON. ABS, WHICH COSPONSORED THE EVENT, PRESENTED A WORKSHOP ON "LECTIO DIVINA." OTHER REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE THE CATHOLIC CLERGY CONVOCATION IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

ABS ALSO PRESENTED ON BIBLICAL CATHOLIC RESOURCES AT THE THREE-DAY EVENT, "NEW YORK ENCOUNTER": AN ANNUAL CONVOCATION OF CATHOLIC COLLEGE STUDENTS IN MANHATTAN. FINALLY, WE WELCOMED CARDINAL RUBEN SALAZAR, A DISTINGUISHED PRELATE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO SPEAK AT ABS' HEADQUARTERS THIS YEAR. CARDINAL RUBEN SALAZAR IS FROM BOGOTA, COLOMBIA AND IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CELAM, A COUNCIL OF ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF LATIN AMERICA. HE ENLIGHTENED SPANISH-SPEAKING CATHOLICS ABOUT THE TEACHINGS OF VERBUM DOMINI, AN EXHORTATION FROM POPE BENEDICT XVI ON THE CENTRALITY OF THE SCRIPTURES IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. ORTHODOX MINISTRIES ORTHODOX FAMILY AND WEDDING BIBLE THE ARCHBISHOP IAKOVOS LEADERSHIP 100 ENDOWMENT FUND APPROVED A GRANT OF $50,000 TO CREATE AND PUBLISH AN ORTHODOX WEDDING AND FAMILY BIBLE DESIGNED IN THE ORTHODOX TRADITION FOR ORTHODOX MARRIED COUPLES AND THEIR FAMILIES. BECAUSE THESE FAMILY BIBLES have previously been PRODUCED IN GREECE, MANY PARISHES IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRIBUTE PROTESTANT-BASED BIBLES TO ORTHODOX COUPLES BEING MARRIED IN THE GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH. FUNDS WILL BE USED TO LICENSE THE "REVISED STANDARD VERSION" ENGLISH-LANGUAGE TEXT AND PRINT AN INITIAL RUN OF 8,000 COPIES. THE ARCHDIOCESE DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND MINISTRY WILL COLLABORATE WITH ABS WITH A PROJECTED PUBLICATION DATE IN THE FALL OF 2013. BIENNIAL CLERGY LAITY CONGRESS IN JULY 2012, ABS SENT TWO DELEGATES FROM THE GREEK ORTHODOX MINISTRY TEAM TO ATTEND THE BIENNIAL CLERGY-LAITY CONGRESS IN PHOENIX. SPONSORED BY THE GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA, THIS CONGRESS GATHERS RELIGIOUS AND LAY LEADERS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES. THE CONFERENCE THEME, "CHOSEN AND APPOINTED BY GOD TO GO AND BEAR FRUIT," HAS BEEN CENTRAL TO THE ABS-GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE PARTNERSHIP, WHICH CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED MANY GREEK ORTHODOX SCRIPTURE RESOURCES. MORE THAN 1,200 PARTICIPANTS AND 330 PARISHES FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ATTENDED, INCLUDING A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE. THE EVENT PROVIDED GREATER INSIGHT INTO NATIONAL GREEK ORTHODOX MINISTRIES, AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGISLATIVE PROCESS OF THE ARCHDIOCESE. ABS HAD A BOOTH AT THE EVENT, WHICH ENABLED OUR TEAM TO SPEAK ABOUT OUR WORK AND COMMITMENT TO THE GREEK ORTHODOX COMMUNITY. ARMED SERVICES MINISTRY ARMING THE MILITARY WITH SCRIPTURE FOR THE PAST 196 YEARS, ABS HAS STRENGTHENED SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN WITH THE HOPE OF GOD'S WORD. OUR ARMED SERVICES MINISTRY (ASM) BELIEVES THE MILITARY AND VETERAN CHAPLAINS WE SERVE SHOULD HAVE A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP OVER THE SCRIPTURE RESOURCES WE PROVIDE. WE CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO MATCH OUR RESOURCES WITH THEIR EXPRESSED NEEDS. THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, ASM CONTINUED TO RESPOND TO A WIDESPREAD REQUEST AMONG OUR CHAPLAINS FOR COMPACT MILITARY E100 BIBLES IN THE "ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION" (ESV)-THE TRANSLATION OF CHOICE FOR THESE PARTICULAR CHAPLAINS. THESE ESV BIBLES WILL BE AN INVALUABLE SUPPORT TO OUR CHAPLAINS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE NO RELIGIOUS SUPPORT MATERIAL. TESTIMONY "THANK YOU FOR THE RECENT SHIPMENT OF BIBLES. [MORE THAN] 900 MARINES HAVE COME TO CHRIST DURING 2012. WE STARTED THIS MINISTRY IN APRIL OF 2006 WITH 12 MARINES AND NOW HAVE NEARLY 400 IN ATTENDANCE EACH SUNDAY. YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY HAVE PLAYED A BIG PART IN THIS WORK. YOUR CATHOLIC BIBLES WILL BE A GREAT BOOST FOR OUR WORK." --A U.S. NAVY CHAPLAIN IN APRIL, OUR E100 MILITARY CATHOLIC BIBLES WERE RELEASED. WITHIN THREE HOURS OF THE RELEASE, MORE THAN 4,000 COPIES WERE ORDERED, WITH THE ENTIRE 10,000 COPIES EXPENDED IN ONE WEEK. WE HAD TO PRINT 20,000 MORE TO MEET DEMAND. THIS MILITARY CATHOLIC BIBLE IS NOW THE OFFICIAL CATHOLIC BIBLE AT THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY, AS WELL AS THE MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT. OUR LARGE-PRINT MILITARY BIBLES CONTINUE TO BE A BLESSING. THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR SAW A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER DEMAND FOR THESE BIBLES EMBOSSED WITH THE APPROPRIATE UNIT CREST. WE ALSO HAVE RECEIVED ENCOURAGING LETTERS INFORMING US THAT THE E100 MILITARY BIBLES CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE MINISTRY TOOLS FOR CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP. TESTIMONY "RECENTLY, WE HAD A DEPLOYMENT LINE AND TALKED WITH THE TROOPS AS THEY WERE GOING THROUGH. MANY EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN GETTING 'MORE SPIRITUAL' WHILE THEY WERE AWAY. HAVING BEEN DEPLOYED, I KNOW THIS OFTEN IS NEGLECTED ONCE THE PERSON GETS INTO THE DEPLOYMENT ROUTINE. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE E100 BIBLE TO SHOW MANY HOW THEY COULD READ THROUGH THE MAIN THEMES OF THE BIBLE.....[THIS] WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD WRAP THEIR MINDS AROUND AND GAVE MANY A REALISTIC PLAN THEY COULD FOLLOW WHEREVER THEY WERE." --A MINISTRY TEAM MEMBER "REZILIENT LIFE," OUR WEB-BASED INITIATIVE TO CONNECT WITH MILITARY TEENS, CONTINUES TOWARD COMPLETION, THANKS TO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MILITARY COMMUNI | Description |

| Description | INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS, WE DELIVER GOD'S WORD TO HARD-TO-REACH PLACES, BRINGING HOPE ACROSS BARRIERS OF GEOGRAPHY, LANGUAGE, OPPRESSION AND INJUSTICE. WE ALSO ARE USING GOD'S WORD TO HEAL THE WOUNDS OF TRAUMA IN PARTS OF THE WORLD RIDDLED WITH VIOLENCE. NEXTGEN INTERNATIONAL ABS IS CONVENING GLOBAL LEADERS IN BIBLE SOCIETIES TO FOCUS THEIR MINISTRY ACTIVITIES ON BIBLE ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUTH AND CHILDREN. THIS CERTAINLY IS NOT A NEW FOCUS, PARTICULARLY IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH WHERE ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS BELOW AGE 25. BUT THE CALL IS FOR MORE INTENTIONAL JOINT PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY WHEREBY BIBLE SOCIETIES SHARE RESOURCES, AS WELL AS PLAN AND FUND JOINT PROGRAMS. ABS HAS PARTNERED WITH THESE BIBLE SOCIETIES-AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO-TO PLAN, SHARE RESOURCES AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THOSE PROGRAMS. "READ TO LIVE" - LATIN AMERICAN CLUSTER ABS INVITED NATIONAL BIBLE SOCIETIES THAT SHARED COMMON NEEDS TO CLUSTER, CREATING SYNERGY IN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION. THIS GAVE WAY TO THE INITIATIVE, "READ TO LIVE," A CLUSTER IN LATIN AMERICA WITH FIVE BIBLE SOCIETIES: BOLIVIA, CHILE, ECUADOR, PANAM AND PER. THROUGH CLUSTERING, THE BIBLE SOCIETIES EXCHANGE RESOURCES, FACILITATE PLANNING AND SHARE FUNCTIONS. AS A RESULT, MANY NEW READERS' MATERIALS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN THE SPANISH, QUECHUA AND NGBE LANGUAGES. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND EMPOWERS VICTIMS WITH TOOLS TO ADDRESS THEIR LITERACY STATUS. THEY CAN LEARN TO READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES, TAKING MEASURES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - CARIBBEAN CLUSTER BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS IN LATIN AMERICA, A SIMILAR CLUSTER INVOLVES THE CARIBBEAN BIBLE SOCIETIES: SURINAME, HAITI, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES AND WEST INDIES. AS WITH LATIN AMERICA, THE FOCUS IS ADDRESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. TO THAT END, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS HAVE PARTNERED WITH VARIOUS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO SENSITIZE THE COMMUNITY. THEY ALSO ARE WORKING WITH CHILDREN, WOMEN AND THE POLICE TO ERADICATE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND PROVIDE COMFORT AND HOPE TO VICTIMS. EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, INDO CHINA WITH HELP FROM ABS, THE WEST BALKAN PARTNERSHIP OF BIBLE SOCIETIES IS REACHING OUT TO LEADERS TO ENCOURAGE BIBLE USE IN THEIR CHURCHES. THE PARTNERSHIP ALSO SERVES AS A CATALYST THROUGH WHICH THE BIBLE SOCIETIES WILL DELIVER A SERIES OF PROGRAMS THAT HELP CHURCH MEMBERS REDISCOVER THEIR PASSION FOR GOD'S WORD AND ITS RELEVANCE TO TODAY'S SOCIETY. SPECIFICALLY, THE "I READ THE WORD" CAMPAIGN IS ENCOURAGING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN A 30-DAY BIBLE READING PLAN-FOLLOWED BY A 100-DAY PLAN-THAT WILL LEAD PEOPLE TO ENGAGE GOD'S WORD DAILY. LEBANON IN A YEAR MARKED BY TURBULENCE AND CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF LEBANON CONTINUED ITS PRODUCTION OF "THE BIBLE IS YOURS," A SERIES OF 45-MINUTE EPISODES BROADCAST ON SECULAR AND CHRISTIAN SATELLITE TV ACROSS LEBANON AND THE ARAB WORLD. THESE PROGRAMS, FEATURING TESTIMONIES OF CULTURAL LEADERS AND DISCUSSION OF CURRENT TOPICS, ARE GEARED ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF LEBANON PRODUCED "A YEAR OF THE BIBLE"DOCUDRAMA THAT WAS BROADCAST ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY LAST YEAR. COMBINED, THE PRODUCTIONS REACHED MILLIONS OF VIEWERS. CAMBODIA IN CAMBODIA, 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS UNDER AGE 25, AND MANY HAVE SEEN ATTEMPTS TO ERADICATE THEIR EDUCATION, THEIR EMANCIPATION AND THEIR EMPOWERMENT. THE BIBLE SOCIETY IN CAMBODIA IS EQUIPPING CHURCHES WITH SCRIPTURE RESOURCES FOR YOUTH, HELPINGTHEMFIND VALUE IN GOD'S WORD DAILY. THIS PAST YEAR, THEY REACHED OUT TO MORE THAN 20,000 YOUNG PEOPLE WITH SCRIPTURE THROUGH YOUTH CAMPS, CONCERTS, BIBLE SUNDAY, A DIGITAL BIBLE AND THE BIBLE SOCIETY'S WEBSITE. CHINA ABS' MINISTRY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CHINESE CHURCH AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUE TO OPEN NEW WAYS OF PARTNERING SO THAT GOD'S WORDIS MADE AVAILABLE TO MILLIONS OF CHINESE CHRISTIANS. ONE OF THE HISTORIC MILESTONES OF THIS PARTNERSHIP OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 8, 2012, WHEN THE AMITY PRINTING COMPANY IN NANJING CELEBRATED THE ROLLOUT OF ITS 100MILLIONTH BIBLE. ABS WAS A MAJOR STAKEHOLDER IN THE FOUNDING OF AMITY PRINTING COMPANY, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED AS A JOINT VENTURE OF THE UNITED BIBLE SOCIETIES AND AMITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IN 1988. AMITY IS THE ONLY GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZED PRINTER OF BIBLES FOR THE CHINA MARKET. ANOTHER SMALLER CELEBRATION WAS HELD IN SHANGHAI BY THE CHINA CHRISTIAN COUNCIL/THREE-SELF PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT (CCC/TSPM), A MAIN PARTNER OF ABS, TO CELEBRATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF 60 MILLION BIBLES IN CHINA. (THE OTHER40 MILLION BIBLES WERE PROVIDED FOR EXPORT.) REPRESENTATIVES OF ABS AS WELL AS OTHER BIBLE SOCIETIES, CHINESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND CHURCH LEADERS ATTENDED BOTH CELEBRATIONS. IN OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP, ABS HOSTEDA DELEGATION FROM THE BISHOP'S CONFERENCE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CHINA/CHINESE CATHOLIC PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION (CCPA). BISHOP GUO JINCAI, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CCPA, LED THE DELEGATION. THE GROUP VISITED THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS IN MANHATTAN AND WASHINGTON, D.C. TO LEARN ABOUT PROGRAMS AND TO ASSESS THE POSSIBILITY OF A FACULTY EXCHANGE. TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND RESOURCING OF PASTORS, PRIESTS AND LAY LEADERS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE CHINESE CHURCH. ABS ALSO ENSURED FUNDING TO PROVIDE PICTORIAL BIBLE STORIES FOR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS LITERACY TRAINING, TO HELP THOUSANDS OF CHINESE LEARN TO READ AND WRITE USING SCRIPTURE AS THE MAIN TEXT.ABS' PRIORITIES IN CHINA REMAIN STEADY: RURAL BIBLE DISTRIBUTION, PAPER SUBSIDIES FOR BIBLE PRINTING AND SCRIPTURE PROVISION TO SEMINARIES AND SCHOOLS. INDIA THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF INDIA (BSI) IS A STRONG PARTNER IN THE SOUTH ASIA REGION AND HAS A LONG AND RICH HISTORY OF SCRIPTURE TRANSLATION WORK. TO THAT END, ABS JOINED BSI IN THE INAUGURATION OF ITS SHILLONG TRANSLATIONS CENTER BY PROVIDING FUNDINGFOR MUCH-NEEDED BUILDING RENOVATIONS. SHILLONG IS LOCATED IN NORTHEAST INDIA WHERE NUMEROUS MINORITY LANGUAGES ARE SPOKEN. OF THE 79 ONGOING TRANSLATIONS OF BSI, HALF ARE HANDLED FROM THIS TRANSLATIONS CENTER ALONE. THROUGH ABS' PARTNERSHIP WITH BSI, BIBLES AND AGE-APPROPRIATE SCRIPTURE SELECTIONS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO CHILDREN THROUGH VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLS, CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND ORPHANAGES. AS A RESULT, MANY CHILDREN FROM OTHER FAITHS ATTEND THESE SCHOOLS AND ARE EXPOSED TO BIBLE STORIES. MINISTERING TO THE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, PARTICULARLY TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD BIBLES, AS WELL AS THE PERSECUTED CHURCH, REMAINS A PRIORITY. PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN-AT-RISK WERE IMPLEMENTED, AND BIBLES WERE GIVEN TO THE SICK IN HOSPITALS. SCRIPTURE PORTIONS REACHED NOT ONLY THE CHRISTIAN POPULATION IN INDIA, BUT ALSO PEOPLE FROM THE MAJOR FAITH GROUPS WHO SEEK HOPE AND TRUTH. END2END (E2E) AFRICA THE END2END CONCEPT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND POWERFUL: SHOW THE JESUS FILM, ORGANIZE NEW CONVERTS INTO FAITH COMES BY HEARING (FCBH) LISTENING GROUPS AND PROVIDE LITERATE PARTICIPANTS WITH THEIR OWN PRINTED COPY OF THE BIBLE IN THEIR LANGUAGE.BY SUPPORTING E2E PROJECTS, ABS IS HELPING NATIONAL BIBLE SOCIETIES PROVIDE ACCESS TO SCRIPTURES TO THOSE ENROLLED IN THE FCBH LISTENING PROGRAMS. WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT E2E CONTINUES TO YIELD GREAT IMPACT THROUGH THE BIBLE SOCIETIES THAT COMMIT TO THIS VISION. IN THE SECOND YEAR OF THE PILOT PROJECT IN RWANDA, 311 SHOWINGS OF THE JESUS FILM OCCURRED. AS A RESULT, 248 LISTENING GROUPS FORMED, AND67,646PEOPLE DECIDED TO RECEIVE CHRIST INTO THEIR HEARTS.THROUGH THE E2E PARTNERSHIP, THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF RWANDA DISTRIBUTED 4,430 BIBLES.AN ADDITIONAL 32 CHURCHES WERE PLANTED DURING THE SECOND YEAR OF THE PROJECT. MANY SECOND- AND THIRD-GENERATION LISTENING GROUPS ARE STARTING NEW GROUPS, ANDMANY DAUGHTER CHURCHES STARTED NEW CHURCHES. E2E CONTINUES GAINING MOMENTUM IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES: BURUNDI, DRC, GHANA, MALI, RWANDA, TANZANIA, TOGO, BURKINA FASO, NIGER, CHAD, LIBERIA, SIERRA LEONE AND ZAMBIA. IN THE SAHEL COUNTRIES, WHERE THERE IS A GROWING ISLAMIC PRESENCE, PEOPLE OF OTHER FAITHSHAVE BECOME FOLLOWERS OF JESUS AND JOINED THE LOCAL CHURCH.THANKS TO THE SCRIPTURES PROVIDED THROUGH THE E2E PROGRAMS, NOMINAL BELIEVERS GREW IN THEIR WALK OF FAITH. TRANSLATING THE WORD EVERY TRIBE EVERY NATION (ETEN) SEEKS TO MAKE THE BIBLE AVAILABLE IN A DIGITAL BIBLE LIBRARYTO 7 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE WHO ARE WAITING FORGOD'S WORD IN THEIR OWN HEART LANGUAGE.IT IS A PRIVILEGE FOR ABS TO SHARE THIS VISION. AS PART OF AN INFLUENTIAL ALLIANCE COMPOSED OF THE LARGEST BIBLE AGENCIES IN THE WORLD, ABS IS A PROMINENT PARTICIPANT IN MANAGING RESOURCES FOR SCHOLARLY TRANSLATION TRAINING THROUGH THE NIDA INSTITUTE FOR BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP. ABS, IN CONCERT WITH OUR ALLIANCE PARTNERS, ALSO COORDINATES EFFORTS FOR LICENSING AGREEMENTS FROM THE VARIOUS BIBLE SOCIETIES IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: OVERSEEING TECHNOLOGY EFFORTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL AND ROBUST BIBLE REPOSITORY, THE "DIGITAL BIBLE LIBRARY" (DBL); NEGOTIATING EFFORTS TO CONTINUALLY POPULATE THE LIBRARY; | Description |

| COLLECTIONS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES OR OTHER SIMILAR ASSETS | schedule D, part III, Line 1a | American Bible Society, ("the Bible Society"), maintains a rare scripture collection that has been acquired through purchases and contributions since the Bible society's inception. The collection preserves historically significant scriptures, provides for scholarly research, and contributes to the public good through educational exhibitions. |
| ENDOWMENT FUNDS | SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4 | American Bible Society's endowment funds (quasi & true permanently restricted endowment) exist to support the organization's mission. 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. From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with an individual donor-restricted endowment fund may fall below the funds historic dollar value. |

| Fin 48 | Schedule D, Part X | In July 2006, guidance was issued in the area of "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. It was effective for the Bible Society on July 1, 2009, and had no material impact on the accompanying financial statements. The tax years ending 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The Bible Society has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. |
