What they fund
Priority Areas
Scripture Union International supports the network of independent national Scripture Union movements in ministry, sustainability, community and partnerships. The global movement introduces children, young people and families to Jesus and helps them meet God through the Bible and prayer. Each movement shares the Gospel in ways appropriate to its culture and situation, and local ministry can include camps, school and student groups, Bible reading resources, and work with poor and marginalised children. Its international support is directed to the network, while activities are carried out through local people in locally appropriate ways. This reflects its role in developing community and partnerships among the movements.
