ABOUT US If we look back at the history of Soma Biblia society, we find two quite different, yet engaging, parallel stories:
The first story can be traced all the way back to a couple of sleepless nighst in Kansay, Tanzania mid-70s. A Norwegian missionary couple; Mr. and Mrs. Jon and Kjellaug Jossang had served as missionaries through Norwegian Lutheran Mission in Tanzania for two decades, when mzee Jossang one night was unable to sleep. He had seen so many Tanzanians being baptized, but he did not have anything in writing to help the baptized continue to learn about their new faith. So together with another Norwegian missionary, Ingebjorg Boe, he developed two pamphlets (Hubiri Habari Njema and Tufundishe kwa Furaha) to help evangelists and sundayschool teachers in their work. That was the beginning.
But the main literature work began after Mzee Jossang had heard the name Voi another night he could not sleep. And that is where they went; to Voi, Kenya. A small bookshop was placed next to the bus station. And Wazee Jossang developed tracts, books and also a Bible correspondence course. A literature base was also created on the NLM compound in Nairobi. Two magazines were founded, Riziki and The Brief.
