The Fiji National Bible Forum (FNBF) is a collaboration initiative that seeks to bring together churches and Christian ministries across Fiji with one shared purpose: to ensure that the Word of God reaches every community. Whether through Bible translation projects or Bible engagement programs, the Forum provides a platform to unite, discuss, and act on how Scripture can be made more accessible and meaningful for people of all ages and backgrounds. Now in its third year, the FNBF has previously been hosted in Suva for the past two years, before expanding to the Western division in 2025.

On the 10th of September, the FNBF hosted a one-day conference in Lautoka at the CMFI Westfield Harvest Center, drawing 32 participants from across the Western division of Fiji. Collaboration was already visible in the program itself—CMFI Westfield Harvest offered their church as the venue and provided morning tea, while the Namoli Methodist Division contributed by preparing lunch for the participants. The gathering enabled ministry leaders and church representatives to share insights, identify Bible needs in the region, and explore practical ways to engage communities with Scripture. The first collaboration efforts that followed took place on the 20th of September in Nadi, with the Nadi Assemblies of God partnering with the Bible Society of the South Pacific. This included a 100 Steps Family Bible briefing and the distribution of Bibles to parents and church members, marking a concrete step in meeting identified needs.

The response from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Many expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders and to contribute toward shaping future Bible initiatives. One participant shared, “Glad to have participated in the forum. Looking forward to the next one.” Such feedback highlights the growing anticipation for future gatherings and reaffirms the importance of continuing this journey of unity and mission through the Fiji National Bible Forum.
