New International Version (NIV) BibleThe New International Version (NIV) Bible is a modern translation of the Bible produced by the International Bible Society. The New International Version (NIV) Bible is published by Zondervan. International Bible Society (IBS), founded in 1809 with a successive history as a provider of millions of Bibles globally, merged with Send The Light (STL), the largest Christian distributor of Christian resources in the world, on March 1, 2007. The combined organization operates as IBS-STL Global. This powerful and compelling alliance links the Bible translation capabilities and outreach initiatives of IBS with the distribution capacity of STL. The mission of IBS-STL Global is to advance the Kingdom of God through translating, producing, and distributing Bibles, Scripture materials, and other Christian resources. In nearly 200 years of ministry, IBS has distributed some 600 million Scriptures. STL, established in 1957, has built a reputation as a provider of low-cost Christian literature into both the Global North (U.S., UK, and Europe) and the Global South (Asia and Africa), with extensive distribution networks in these areas. The combined organization operates on five continents, is currently translating Scripture in more than 40 languages, and is involved in more than 50 major Scripture outreach projects spanning 65 countries. |
