AROUND THE WORLD

The International Bible Society (IBS), one of the world’s largest translators and distributors of scripture, and Send the Light (STL), one of the world’s largest distributors of Christian literature, have merged. The new organization, IBS-STL, has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Asia, Africa, Latin America and other parts of the world. It combines the core competencies of Bible translation, Bible and Christian book publishing and global distribution. “The blending of these organizations is a powerful combination,” said Keith Danby, CEO for the new organization. “It’s not often that two ministries can come together with the potential to have such far-reaching global impact for the cause of Christ and the Bible.” (International Bible Society)
