Dear brothers and sisters in Christ
I’m writing to you because I know you are someone who loves the Bible and longs to see others discover its wisdom, saving power and meaning for people’s lives. Scripture Union in the New Year launched ‘WordLive which is a new ministry website, making the bible available to people of all generations. It has a wonderful variety of ways of getting into the Bible including a more reflective approach, more serious deeper study, discussion based questions, more visual (including film clips) etc.

Scripture Union have taken the brave step of making this a free resource, already thousands of people are using it. But this new ministry venture needs both sponsorship and individual donations to sustain its impact particularly on a younger generation.


I commend this resource to you and ask you to consider giving, individually or as a church.

Yours hopefully in Christ
Rev Jackie Cray
President of Scripture Union Council for England and Wales
