[3] The Forum was founded on the belief that collaboration and cooperation would significantly increase the speed and widen the scope for bringing about worldwide access to the Bible.
[5] However, it wasn't until 2006 that the Forum was able to accomplish this goal and launched Find-a-Bible, a web directory providing links to Bibles and biblical resources in the 6000+ languages of the world.
[9][10] Members of the Forum of Bible Agencies International are also considering developing standards in other areas in the future, such as guidelines for collaborating in translation projects, collaboration with churches (providing best practices on engaging with churches locally, nationally and missionally in Bible translation), standards in audio and video presentations, and the place of storying and orality.
[13] The 2015 Annual Meeting was held at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas on April 20–22 with the theme "The Vulnerability of Translation".
[14] The 2016 Annual Meeting will be held at the RIT Conference Center in Rochester, New York on April 10–13 with the theme "Deaf Communities: Today's Macedonian Call".
This Annual Meeting is being organized by the Deaf Development Group and the keynote speaker will be Lance Forshay from the University of Washington.
