Bible for Bairns
Share the Bible with children in Scotland
Almost 3 in 10 children don’t know that the story of Jesus’ birth is from the Bible.*
We want to give Scotland’s children the opportunity to hear Bible stories from the first year of their lives.
That’s why we’re launching ‘Bibles for Bairns’ - a programme to give a Bible to babies born in Scotland in 2023.
‘Bibles for Bairns’ encourages parents, carers and their children to bond
through reading the Bible together, and to develop a foundation for faith
in Jesus.
Will you help us bring the Bible to children in Scotland?
How it works
The child will receive a Share a Story Bible on their first birthday.
Each year, we’ll send birthday cards and resources to help them engage with their Bible.
When they turn five, they’ll receive a children’s Bible to explore with the adults in the family, and on their own as they start to read themselves.
Your contribution has the potential to make a real difference, by nurturing souls and sowing the seeds of the gospel which will bear fruit for future generations.
