BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF HISTORY

The Gujarat Auxiliary of the Bible Society of India came into being in 1969. Till then the Bible Society operations in Gujarat were overseen by the Bombay Auxiliary. With headquarters located in Ahmedabad a purpose built Bible House was dedicated in 1980. Apart from this, the Auxiliary also maintains centres at Baroda and Vyara to cater to the Scripture needs of this vast State.

Harnessing the potential of women in the ministry of God’s Word, the Women’s Work Council was formed in 1977. This was followed in 1994 by the formation of Youth Work Council. In order to sustain the interest in Bible cause, innovative programmes like Gujarat Bible Promotion Fund (1993) were started with a view to providing Bibles to seekers who were not in a position to afford Bibles at full price. In consonance with the need for Scriptures to move into Audio medium, a series of Audio Cassettes were released during 1997-1999 in Gujarati, Gamit and Vasavi languages. The Gujarat Bible Centre at Vyara came into being in late 1999 in recognition of the notable Church growth in South Gujarat. This was a commemorative event for the new millennium.
