C.3 BSK STRATEGIC PLANS (2005-2008)

BSK embarked on achieving the objectives stipulated in the Strategic Plan for the Bible Society for 2005-2008 following the identified Strategic Choices reported last year as follows:

­ Mobilization of Resources

­ Enhancing Marketing and Use of Scriptures

­ Research

­ Translation

­ People Development

Much was achieved following Action Plans drawn for year 2005. We are glad to report that BSK achieved the zero UBS Budget society in 2005, one year ahead of the Strategic Plans. Our plea to all the members of the BSK and other stakeholders is that each one of us should do our part in accordance with the gifts that the Lord has individually given to us to sustain this new status.

Under the Strategic Plans, a number of challenges have been noted for addressing. Your Board and staff worked hard to achieve stated objectives especially in the following broad areas in the life of the Church:

J Children and Youth

! Growing Biblical illiteracy

$ Funding potential for the ministry

† Membership involvement and Leadership

) Challenge of new technologies in mission delivery

‡ Competition in spiritual and social values in the market place
