International Fund – would you help us?

Giving through the International Bible Reading Association (IBRA) International Fund enables you to spread the Word to people in all walks of life across the globe, to those that need it the most.

Since IBRA was founded in 1882 our UK readers have been making donations to the IBRA International Fund (previously named the Missionary Fund), with the aim of supporting our overseas readers through its network of IBRA Partners.

Our partners are based in 11 countries but the benefit flows over borders to at least 32 countries all over the world. Partners work tirelessly and often without pay to organise the translation, printing and distribution of IBRA Bible study notes and lists into many different languages from Ewe, Yoruba and Twi to Portuguese, Samoan and Telugu!

We guarantee that 100 per cent of your donations go to support our international brothers and sisters in Christ. 

Making a difference 

The Congregational Christian Church in American Samoa told us:
'Every year we are asked to print more copies. Families are now beginning to use the materials for their evening prayers at home.'

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Baptist Community of the Congo River long to share the word of God with more people:
'People are really excited. Being in a country where the daily income is low, some are unable to buy any printed guide of daily Bible reading. They are expressing a deepest gratitude for free available IBRA material yearly.'
