This Christmas, children and young people across Poland will hear the familiar story of Jesus’ birth in churches, schools, and family celebrations. Yet many do not own a Bible of their own. While Poland has a rich Christian heritage, church participation is declining, and many young people are growing up without personally engaging with God’s Word.

The Bible Society in Poland is helping to change that. Through partnerships with schools, parishes, universities, camps, and Christian festivals, children and young people receive their own copy of Scripture and are encouraged to explore its message for themselves. Interactive activities help bring the Bible to life, teaching how God’s Word was written, preserved, and shared through the generations. Young people can learn about Braille Bibles, discover how Scripture has shaped history and culture, and engage with Bible stories in creative and memorable ways.

More than 23,000 children and young people have already received their own Bible through this initiative. This Christmas, help another young person discover the truth, wisdom, and hope found in God’s Word.

At Christmas, many of us will open our Bibles and read once again the story of Jesus’ birth. Yet for thousands of Christian women in Pakistan, reading those words for themselves has never been possible.

Across villages, informal settlements, and brick kiln communities, many women have been denied the opportunity of education through poverty, social barriers, and limited access to schools. Without basic literacy skills, they remain cut off from opportunities that could help improve their lives and deepen their faith.

Through the Pakistan Bible Society’s ‘Beacon in the Darkness of Illiteracy’ project, women receive literacy education that teaches them to read and write, whilst also helping them engage with Scripture. As they learn, they gain confidence, new opportunities, and the ability to read the Bible independently and share God’s Word with their children. Since 2014, more than 41,000 women have already taken part, impacting families and communities across Pakistan.

This Christmas, help bring the light of God’s Word to women longing to read it for themselves.

At Christmas, churches across Slovenia will once again tell the story of Jesus’ birth. Yet while many people still identify as Christians, fewer are regularly engaging with God’s Word. Church attendance is declining, priests are increasingly overstretched, and many believers long for a deeper faith but do not know where to begin.

The Bible Society of Slovenia is helping to change that through Ecclesia Bible-sharing groups. Meeting in churches, homes, and online, these small groups bring people together to read Scripture, discuss its meaning, pray for one another, and learn how to apply God’s Word to everyday life. Many participants first connect through Bible Reading Marathons, Advent and Lent Bible campaigns, or local church events before taking the next step into ongoing discipleship.

As people gather around Scripture, faith is strengthened, communities are renewed, and new leaders are equipped to share God’s Word with others. This Christmas, help believers in Slovenia move beyond simply hearing the Christmas story to encountering Jesus through His Word and sharing that hope with others.

At Christmas, many children look forward to gathering around the table with family, enjoying food, laughter, and celebration. Yet for many children living in Uruguay’s most vulnerable communities, regular nutritious meals are far from guaranteed.

Through the Bible Society of Uruguay’s Breakfast with Jesus programme, local churches provide a welcoming place where children aged 3 to 12 receive both practical care and spiritual encouragement. Children enjoy a nutritious breakfast or snack while learning about Jesus in a safe and supportive environment. They also receive age-appropriate Bible resources to take home that help them discover God’s love and grow in faith.

Many of these children come from families affected by poverty, instability, or social exclusion. For them, church becomes a place of hope, belonging, and encouragement. This Christmas, help ensure that vulnerable children experience the love of Christ through both nourishment and God’s Word.

At Christmas, many of us will hear the story of Jesus’ birth read aloud in churches and homes. Yet for many people across Togo, hearing Scripture is the only way they can engage with God’s Word. Some cannot read, while others have no access to a Bible in a format they can understand.

Through the Bible Society of Togo’s Faith Comes by Hearing project, people gather in listening groups to hear audio Scriptures in their own language. Using solar-powered audio devices, Bible recordings, and film presentations, churches are reaching remote communities, prisons, hospitals, and villages with the Good News of Jesus.

As people listen together, lives are being transformed. New believers are coming to faith, families are gathering to pray, and churches are growing stronger through regular engagement with God’s Word. This Christmas, help more people hear the story of the Saviour and discover the hope found in Christ.

At Christmas, many children will hear again the story of Jesus’ birth and the hope He brings to the world. Yet across Kenya, countless children from disadvantaged families do not own a Bible of their own. For many, the cost is simply beyond what their parents or guardians can afford.

Through the Bible Society of Kenya, children in some of the country’s poorest rural communities, informal settlements, and children’s homes are receiving their very first Bible. These Scriptures support children’s faith, help them engage with Christian Religious Education in school, and encourage regular Bible reading both at home and in church. Often, the child who receives a Bible becomes the one who reads God’s Word aloud to the rest of the family.

Since 2017, thousands of children have already been reached, helping to build a foundation of Christian faith and values for the future. This Christmas, help place God’s Word into the hands of children who may otherwise never have the opportunity to own a Bible.
