Solutions for Scripture
Virtual Storehouse is driven by the need to make scripture available to all people, in all languages regardless of where they may be located around the world.
“The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.”
Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV)
We are reinventing the process for typesetting, publishing, and printing as evidenced by the following:
- We automated the first quality typesetting to replace the manual process of scripture typesetting that often takes [2] weeks for a New Testament
- We developed composition-on-demand and print-on-demand software and hardware that manufactures different books one after the other with no manual effort or setup costs.
- We developed software and servers to manage orders and a distributed network of printing facilities.
- We continue to secure permissions from several of the scripture copyright holders to print Bibles where they are currently not available.
- We have provided storage and disaster recovery for the International Forum of Bible Agencies' digital scripture archives.
- We we have developed conversion utilities that facilitate scripture translation, typesetting and publishing, and made these utilities available to the Bible societies for their use.
- We continue to be a driving force behind the development of the globally accepted digital scripture standards known as the Open Scripture Information System [OSIS].
