Our Ministry in Sri Lanka

The Ceylon Bible Society (CBS), one of the oldest existing societies in Sri Lanka according to the records available at the Department of Archives, was inaugurated on 1st August 1812. The CBS produces Scripture-based material on behalf of Catholic Churches, member Churches of the National Christian Council and many new Churches, for the purpose of evangelism and mission work. The Bible Society serves these Churches and their partner organizations as a resource, but does not usurp the mission of these Churches. Traditionally the work of the Bible Societies has concentrated on making the Bible accessible and affordable to all people at highly subsidized prices.
Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic, Multi religious country with a predominantly Buddhist population. The Christians are 7.4% from the total population of 21 million

“Throughout this CLT Programme, I had the privilege of connecting with professionals from diverse backgrounds”o good and good will come to you.

Ms. Poornima Dilhani- CLT Participant

“With all the learnings I had the privilege of gaining, I was able to engage in self-reflection. It was a challenge for me, especially as a leader, to view leadership from a different perspective. This also extended to examining situations, issues, and the people around me—or those entrusted to me—and their leadership in a different aspect”.good and good will come to you.
