Scripture Union understands that the Bible is man’s primary place of encounter with God. This is where we meet God and hear Him address us. Here God tells us what He is like. The Bible tells us the Big Story of God’s dealings with His world and with all humankind.

Therefore, Scripture Union’s Bible Ministry underpins all our activities. Interaction with the Bible is at the core of all we do with children, young people and adults. We encourage those who are not yet followers of Jesus to discover Him in His Word. We seek to help believers to become deeply rooted in the Word of God, exploring day by day how this Word meets our deepest needs and gives us courage to live each day as citizens of God’s Kingdom.

What Scripture Union believes about God’s Word:

  • Both Old and New Testament Scriptures are God-breathed; their writers spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit;
  •  The Scriptures are fully trustworthy in all they say - we can believe them;
  •  The Scriptures are our highest authority for faith and life.

The authority of the Bible over us derives from the authority of God, the Author of His Word. As God’s word, the Bible speaks authoritatively into every aspect of life, calling on us to listen and obey. Psalm 119:105 tells us “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Down the centuries and in every culture God has continued to direct and illumine humankind through the Bible. Scripture Union Bible reading guides can help you to engage with Scripture:

  • Prayerfully – building your relationship with God.
  • Thoughtfully – helping you relate Scripture to everyday life.
  • Regularly – encouraging the habit of Bible reflection.
  • Systematically – taking you right through the Bible over 8 years.

Reading the Bible like this aims to develop four basic ingredients of Christian discipleship:

  •  Personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
  •  Growth in Christian maturity
  • Commitment to the local church
  • Commitment to serving a world in need

Scripture Union Kenya’s Bible reading guides include: Daily Guide (for adults), Daily Power (for youth and families), God and Me (for children), Wasomaji wa Bibilia, Bible guides in local languages (Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Kikamba, Kiswahili) and Diaries with Bible readings.

The Bible reading guides are available in our Scripture Union Book Centres and other leading Christian bookshops countrywide.

Scripture Union trains the writers of our Bible guides and church members in effective Bible use.

TESTIMONY OF THE SEASON

In Kilifi district, at the Coast province, Samson Kalume's life is a testimony of the transformation that our Bible clubs can bring “I once thought that being born again was a very silly thing to do. I joined the Bible club in my school because I saw new books being given out by SU. My aim was to take the book and get lost. After reading the Wonder Book once, I found myself going back to the Bible club. I finally gave my life to Jesus and now I am the chairperson of the club.” That is what God is doing in our Bible clubs.

KIDSWe need to reach out to more schools and more young people like Kalume. To know how to help us accomplish this goal, Partner with Us.
