"In 1809, several believers gathered in lower Manhattan, New York, to discuss the city’s spiritual needs. Among them were community pillars including Henry Rutgers (Rutgers University) and William Colgate (Colgate Palmolive Corp). They formed the New York Bible Society, later renamed International Bible Society, and now Biblica... In 2007 International Bible Society (IBS) and Send the Light (STL) merged to multiply our evangelism and discipleship efforts, and in 2009, we formed Biblica and celebrated 200 years of ministry." [1]

"The work of Biblica will be complete when every person in the world is given the opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ through God's Word and be transformed." [2]

"In 2004 Biblica's South African staff grew frustrated with seeing so many youth die of AIDS. Biblica is about the Bible. So, they created a tool using Scripture to teach abstinence to teenagers." [3]
