Charity Navigator

I was doing some research on the International Bible Society and American Bible Society. Organizations that rank charities give scathing evaluations of these groups. There is a Forbes.com article that shreds ABS to pieces. I get tired of seeing Christian organizations groveling for money or endlessly mismanaging their finances and organization. Why isn't God supplying their need? (note the sarcasm). How hard is it to carry out the mission of a Bible Society? Seriously. Your only goals are to translate the Bible into every known language, to make those translations free or as affordable as possible and to get them into the hands of every person on the globe. That honestly can't be that hard. Especially if you are a group like ABS with nearly a half a billion dollars in investments — and that's the devalued figure after years of mismanagement! Is this really rocket science? Hey ABS, here's an easy one — move out of Manhatten to a more affordable city and stop paying your president $300k+. I think that anyone should be able to walk into any Christian church in America and be able to get a Bible on the spot, or have one that suits their particular needs (large print, braile, age appropriate, etc.) ordered for them cheaply and quickly. The Church of Jesus Christ, across the denominational spectrum, ought to have as a reputation of great renowned, their willingness to give away Bibles for free. How hard would it be to convince even 60% of churches to have this as a goal? Certainly we're not all going to agree on tranalations, but could we agree on it as a goal? This should be an easy one. With that in mind, ABS mismanages their company and IBS gets a low charity ranking also. How dumb is that? These groups ought to flourish ... but no ...
