When King James commissioned the translation of the Bible from Hebrew to English in 1611, he was not aware that the windy city on the East Coast of South Africa , Port Elizabeth, would exist some day and that on Saturday 17 September 2011 this translation would be celebrated  by numerous Christians in this friendly city.

Algoa Park in Arcadia Bishop Area was the host for this occasion. After months of strategic planning, the day dawned bright and beautiful and the celebration could become a reality.
There were eight stalls manned by the Sunday School, Youth, Bible Society, Cum Books, NAC shop, Music, Zivikele and the Blind Society. All these stands depicted aspects of the Bible that corresponded with their purpose and each had its own unique appeal to the audience. Zivikele, an NGO who sees it as their core social responsibility to support the fight against gender based violence, clearly embraced the two commandments from the bible, “Thou shalt not kill” and “Love thy neighbour”.
The expo was well attended and entertainment in the form of choral renditions, short plays, story telling and activities for the little ones was intermittently presented. Food stalls provided much needed inner sustenance, thus body and soul were both nourished.
