BSA aims to establish and sustain effective distribution channels that provide remote and Indigenous communities with access to translated Scriptures and Bible engagement resources. This includes initiatives like the Indigenous Scripture Grants Program, partnerships with ministries and churches, and utilising Koorong stores and digital technology.  

In 2025, BSA will focus on overcoming remoteness challenges, particularly in regions such as the Top End of the Northern Territory, central desert communities, and remote areas in Kimberley and Far North Queensland. Key goals include maintaining connections with local church leaders and ensuring community-level engagement through chaplains. BSA will collaborate with mission partners like AuSIL and YWAM to create a reliable distribution network.  

The goal is to implement sustainable efforts that foster local impact by working alongside churches and organisations. Additionally, BSA will integrate Bible distribution with support services such as pastoral care and community building, while offering the Scripture Grant Program to provide free Bibles and resources, enhance outreach, discipleship, and children’s ministry efforts within these communities. 

Ministries, churches and communities are impacted by receiving access to Scripture in their languages, empowering thousands to face life’s challenges with Scripture.  

In 2024, this project had a significant impact, distributing over $85,000 worth of Bibles and Scripture materials to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The program had a particular impact in reaching remote areas, including the Top End of the Northern Territory and central desert regions, ensuring access to translated Scriptures in languages like Kriol, Pitjantjatjara, and Yumplatok. Notably, more than 1,500 Scripture tracts and 683 Indigenous Bibles reached these communities.  

This project impacts diverse groups, including children, youth, non-literate individuals, and prisoners, facilitating engagement with God’s word. Additionally, the use of digital technology and audio players have enhanced accessibility, catering to ongoing requests from hospital and prison chaplains. This comprehensive support not only aids Indigenous Christians in deepening their faith but also affirms their cultural identity and language, fostering a stronger connection to their spiritual heritage.
