The Canadian Bible Society partners with Christians in dangerous situations where detailed reporting can jeopardize ministries, organizations and lives. We thank God that our supporters make it possible to show compassion, to intervene, and to stand with people who experience the most grave situations. Here are some of the situations where you are present, through your support for CBS. Please, pray for all the people they represent.

In country after country, society often ignores the skills, talents, and intelligence of those with visual disabilities. CBS is bringing about change by working alongside partners with sustained outreach to people deeply underserved by Scriptures.

Their language may be unrecognized, resources scarce, and literacy rates low. With your support, the silence is broken, and a whole new world opens for Deaf people.
