Holman Bible Outreach International
Encyclopedia
Holman Bible Outreach International is a new Bible society established by the trustees of LifeWay Christian Resources
on September 11, 2001. Their purpose is to "share Christ with a hurting nation and world," according to www.holmanbibleoutreach.org. They help facilitate the distribution of the Holman Christian Standard Bible
(HCSB). Holman Bible Outreach has a unique business structure. They sell Bibles for a minimal profit. With that profit and donations from individuals and ministries, they are able to give Bibles away to people who may not be able to afford them.
Although HBOI is a very young entity, it has already supported many ministry projects. They have partnered to develop a new Chinese Mandarin translation using the HCSB as the pattern. A partnership with Oasis Publishing has been forged to provide affordable Bibles to Africa. Their “Sparrow Projects” have placed God’s Word in the hands of many underprivileged adults and children (at no charge) in orphanages, prisons, and homeless missions.
