Bible Society of Kenya

Bible Society of Kenya (BSK) is a non-sectarian, non-denominational organization registered under the Societies Act. It serves all Christian Churches, Para-Church Organizations, and individuals. Our Mission is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by innovatively translating, publishing, and advocating for the widest use of the Holy Scriptures

BSK traces her history to 1844 when Dr. Johannes Ludwig Krapf started translation of the Bible into Kimvita Kiswahili. In 1958 the British and Foreign Bible Society opened an office in Nairobi to serve East Africa, Mauritius, and Madagascar.

The Society was officially registered under the Societies Act as a national body in 1970. BSK was admitted to the United Bible Societies (a global association of national Bible societies) as an associate member in 1972 and became a full member in 1977. BSK remains a committed member of the United Bible Societies (UBS) fellowship.
