We’re passionate about families reading the Bible together.

We want to gift a FREE Storybook Bible to every baby born in Northern Ireland on their 1st birthday, and a Children’s Bible on their 5th birthday.

Why?

Because we want to see families transformed by God. We pray that these gifts will encourage families to read to their young ones from the very beginning of their lives, no matter what their background is, learning about the God who sees, knows, and loves them unconditionally.

Registration for 2025 is now closed.

Registration for babies born in 2026 will open on 1st November 2026.

It helps them to feel safe and loved. It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, imagination, and even improves sleeping patterns.

What if the stories shared in those simple everyday moments were Bible stories? Stories that gently teach children they are created, known, and loved by the God who sees them. Stories that speak of His presence with them as they grow, explore, and begin to understand the world around them.

We know that reading to babies and young children helps them learn and grow.

How it works

Once the child has been signed up, they’ll receive a Storybook Bible on their 1st birthday so that you can start to read it from a young age.

On their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th birthdays we’ll send birthday cards and some fun activities to help them keep engaging with the Bible.
