The story of Bible work can be traced back to the desire of a young Welsh girl, Mary Jones, to own a Bible in her own language. Mary was born in Wales in 1784 at a time when Bibles were very scarce and expensive. This little girl longed for her own Bible from a young age and saved for years to be able to buy one. In 1800, when she was 16 years old, she travelled on foot for about 40 km in order to obtain her own Bible. During a meeting of the 'Religious Tract Society' in 1802 Thomas Charles, the minister from whom she eventually got a Bible, related Mary's story. Plans were made to make more Bibles available in Wales and one of the persons present, Joseph Hughes, cried out: "If for Wales, why not for the whole world?" On 7 March 1804 there was a meeting of 300 people in the London Tavern and the British and Foreign Bible Society was born. The young Bible Society soon spread its wings and expanded to other countries. In Ghana, the early Christian missionaries pioneered Bible work in the 19th century in various parts of the country. However, it was in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s that discussions on the possible establishment of a national Bible Society were held. Pioneering leaders like Rev. Prof. Baeta, Mr. A. L. Quansah and Mr. E. S. Aidoo led the drive for the establishment of a national Society. So, on 18th September 1965, Bible House, the head office of the Bible Society of Ghana was officially opened. Full operation as a national Bible Society started in 1966 and it became a full member of the United Bible Societies in 1968. Show less
