The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) on Monday May 20, 2019 paid a courtesy visit to the President of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide, Pastor Abraham O. Akinosun and unveiled its plan to publish Handwritten Bible.
The Corporate Development Consultant, Bible Society of Nigeria, Pastor Victor Oluwadamilare while unveiling the plan noted that Pastor Akinosun is the first Christian leader the vision will be unveiled to, saying that BSN needs his endorsement.
Pastor Oluwadamilare disclosed that the Handwritten Bible will be written by individuals or denominations who wish to be part of it, adding that CAC for example can decide to write the Book of Matthew, any verses or chapters of the scripture.
He said CAC or even Pastor Akinosun personally can write a book of the Bible or even more, noting other writers would pay specific amounts of money.
The Cleric further stated that proceeds from the project would be used to build a befitting three-storey building Bible House in Lagos, adding that the Bible House would contain a museum (where names of all the donors will be), library, canteen etc.
Pastor Oluwadamilare also said the Handwritten Bible will be dedicated on February 8th, 2021 when the organization will be making her 55th anniversary.
While speaking, the President of CAC Worldwide, Pastor Akinosun appreciated God for different innovations in the Christendom these days, commending BSN for the great innovation.
Pastor Akinosun noted that the innovation proves that the body of Christ is a living organism.
Also speaking, the Director of Publicity, CAC Worldwide, Pastor Ademisoye Alawode said Bible Society of Nigeria has taken the right step for making CAC the first denomination they will bring the project because the church is the first indigenous Pentecostal church in Nigeria.
Apart from Pastor Damilare, others in the delegation of BSN are Chairman, BSN, Oyo State Chapter, Pastor J. Makinwa, Distribution Manager,
Oyo State, Pastor P.A. Abiala and Manager, Media and PR, Mr. Benjamin Mordi.
