ICC Note:

The only company in China that has been authorized to print Bibles, Amity Printing Company, celebrated its 150 millionth copy on the 8th of November, 2016. The company has printed Bibles in more than 100 languages and sent them to over 70 countries. The company was founded in 1988. Originally, many Chinese people could not afford the price of Bibles and some resorted to hand copying the text. Amity was able to bring the price down to about $1.45 per Bible, which has greatly expanded their production and helped spread the Gospel in China.

11/17/2016 China (Asia News) – On 8 November 2016, the only company authorised to print Bibles in China celebrated its 30th anniversary.

The Nanjing-based Amity Printing Co. printed 80 million copies by mid-November 2010. This year, it reached the milestone of its 150 millionth copy since 1988.

Those who attended the anniversary celebration included Guo Wei, director of a department of the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA), Fu Xianwei, chairman of the China Christian Council (CCC), officials from Jiangsu, partners of Amity Printing, and Ke Wei, director of United Bible Society China.

Amity’s chairman Qiu Zhonghui said that Amity has remained faithful to its mission of serving Churches and Christians at home and abroad and has developed its activities by combining charity work and business in the past three decades. He added that the company plans to promote a new round of internationalisation to serve more people in need of the Bible.
