Welcome to Laos Partnership
October 31st, 2008The Laos Partnership is a ministry of the United Bible Societies aiming at supporting the Church in Laos in their efforts to bring God’s Word to the Lao people.
The Bible Society in Laos, known as Les Société Bibliques au Laos, was established in 1965 by the British & Foreign Bible Society. When the Bible Society in Laos’ office was closed in 1975, the Bible ministry in the country was interrupted for more than 20 years. During that period, United Bible Societies continued to supply Scriptures in Lao to the Laotians diaspora, as well as set up the new Bible translation project in Lao Common Language. The Holy Bible in Lao Common Language was published in 2001.
Today, although there is no Bible Society office officially established in the country, United Bible Societies is working in partnership with the local Churches in translation, publication and distribution of the Bible and othert Scripture matrials.
