Have a favorite Psalm? Or, a special passage that has helped you through tough times? Want to share with the world how much the Bible means in your life? Or ask Him to bless your nation?
On Sunday, November 24th at noon local time―in public or online―people of all ages are being invited to participate in International Day of the Bible by taking pause for a few minutes to read Scripture or otherwise creatively express their love of The Good Book. In past years people have made videos and posted them to social media, taken photos of themselves reading the Bible, or posted their favorite Bible verse.
Aside from asking you to join us for a powerful worldwide social media event using the hashtag —#biblecelebration–, we are asking Pastors, Priests, Rabbis, and other clergy across the globe to preach on the greatness and blessing of God’s Word that day.
Millions around the world participated in the International Day of the Bible social media events, including the famous French art museum the Louvre. We hope that millions more of Bible loving people will join us this year to proclaim their thankfulness for the Bible using photos, videos, audio and words. Ask your pastors to join us in our celebration on November 24th by preaching about the Bible. Join us in getting the Word out to the whole world.
LET US ALL EXALT HIS WORD TOGETHER!
