DECLARE 2024: ALL CREATION SINGS

"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!” Psalm 150:6

INVITATION FOR 2024

DECLARE is a Bible proclamation movement that celebrates the restoration of the public reading of God’s Word by Christian communities across nations and generations.

In the first 3 years since 2017, DECLARE began as an intergenerational Arts & Family event held at the Bible House at Fort Canning in Singapore. Over the pandemic years this expanded online to involve over 50 nations & 150 local languages. As we gather from different tribes and traditions, we come to unite in one voice on a common foundation – the Word of God – to bear witness to God’s light of truth and love in a dark and despairing world.

ABOUT DECLARE
DECLARE is organised by the Arts Collective, a ministry of The Bible Society of Singapore, and is supported by Elijah 7000.
