Partner with Bible Society as
part of an Action Group

Walk-a-thons are a great way to raise funds for Bible work as well as enjoy our beautiful country.

Partner with us to deliver God’s Word and help change lives around the country and the world by joining an Action Group.

A Bible Society Action Group is a group of volunteers who are committed to Bible Society's work of making the Bible known and available.

Action Groups are centered on a town or suburb. Working along with Bible Society, they enlist the support of churches and Christian groups to:

• raise money for the worldwide cause of Bible Society,
• distribute Bibles and Scripture resources,
• encourage Bible reading by others,
• enlist the help of others in their work.

Who should serve in an Action Group?

If you’re a committed active Christian who reads and believes the Bible, and have proven its effectiveness in your own life then you’d be a perfect partner for Bible Society and would make a great Action Group member.

Action Group members are also volunteer Bible Society church representatives in their churches.

What do Action Groups do?

Some of the things Action Groups do include:

• organising and promoting events to raise awareness of and funds for Bible Society's work of making the Scriptures readily available locally and globally,
• working in fellowship with as wide a range of Christian churches as possible,
• promoting prayer for Bible Society and its work at home and overseas,
• encouraging use and reading of the Scriptures as widely as possible in their local area.

Fundraising events are the most common activity and include things like Quiz nights, sports tournaments, auctions, dinners, coffee mornings, swim-a-thons, cycle tours, bake sales, spud in a bucket and even shed tours – there’s no limit to the ways funds can be raised.

What would you be expected to do?

It’s up to you how much you’d like to be involved. Pop along to an Action Group meeting and you’ll find a relaxed and informative environment.

Groups meet every one to three months with the meetings lead by volunteers. They’ll probably be organising an event, and you’ll quickly have the opportunity to become involved if you wish – but there’s no obligation.
