Peruvian Bible Society

What Peruvian Bible Society does

The Peruvian Bible Society (Sociedad Bíblica Peruana Asociación Cultural) is a Peru-domiciled nonprofit religious organization and a member of the Sociedades Bíblicas Unidas (United Bible Societies) network. Registered in Peru under RUC 20125899723, it focuses on three primary activities: translating and publishing the Bible (including into Peru's 47 indigenous living languages, of which only seven currently have complete translations); distributing Bibles and Christian literature through its Casa de la Biblia retail brand; and delivering biblical education and pastoral training programs. The organization operates a headquarters in Lima (Av. Petit Thouars 991) and five branch offices in Trujillo, Huancayo, Juliaca, Arequipa, and Piura.

Its product surface spans physical Bibles, dictionaries, commentaries, children's literature, and gifts (sold via Casa de la Biblia stores and casadelabiblia.com.pe); the AMED educational curriculum series for Christian educators (14 titles with QR-coded multimedia); the Campus Bíblico YouTube channel offering United Bible Societies-certified biblical education; international diplomados and courses; the Centro Cultural de la Biblia facility with 9 rentable event spaces; and digital resources for social media (photo verses, devotionals, sign-language content, quizzes). Technology is standard digital delivery — a multi-version Bible reader, QR-linked video content, and integrations with third-party study platforms such as RightNow Media, TELEIOS, and Lea La BIBLIA — with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

The business model combines one-time Bible and literature sales, donations routed through donaronline.org, fees from diploma courses and educational programs, and facility rentals. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via physical retail, e-commerce, WhatsApp sales, and community/church partnerships. The organization serves four identifiable segments: the general Christian public, Christian educators and Sunday school teachers, church leadership and pastoral ministers, and Peru's indigenous language communities. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
