The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) is set to hold its 3rd edition of the Deaf Bible Quiz on December 8, via their online platforms ( Facebook and Youtube).

Deaf Bible Quiz is a project which is focused on helping the Deaf in Nigeria to interact with the Word of God in their heart language through a Scripture-based programme: Deaf Bible Quiz competition for the youths who are still in school.

According to a report on the BSN site, the progress of the Gospel among the deaf people in Nigeria was less than 2% Evangelical. The Bible Society of Nigeria has taken it up to get involved in the translation and production of Nigeria Sign Language Bible for the Spiritual Growth of the Deaf.

The production of Nigeria Sign Language Bible, which commenced in 2014, now has 110 Chronological Bible Translation (CBT) and since then, the above highlighted status has changed to about 5% because the Bible is now available to the Deaf.

To ensure that the Deaf are using the video of the signed 110 Chronological Bible Translation and interacting with the word of God, The Bible Society of Nigeria came up with the idea of inter-school Bible Quiz to encourage this group of people to internalize the Word.

The Chronological Bible Stories (CBS) earlier produced by BS-Nigeria will be given to the schools to prepare their students towards the Bible Quiz.

The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) believes the Bible is for all Nigerians. Traditionally, the work of the BSN is to make the Bible available and affordable.

The Society has come to see that provision of the printed text, however well-presented, is only a part of the task.

To achieve the most effective and meaningful distribution, the BSN also recognizes the need to develop programmes, using all forms of media to stimulate and facilitate encounter with the biblical text in Churches and public places.
