The SVD Bible Apostolate is aimed at promoting the Word of God among the faithful in the parishes. It is coordinated by a confrere who organises programmes  for parish groups and societies  to create the awareness of the importance of the bible in the life of the christian. The Ghana Province organizes DEI VERBUM Course periodically for Ministers of the Word of God in Sacred Scripture and for Formators in the Biblical Apostolate and Biblical-Pastoral Ministry.The course is based on the directives of Vatican II concerning Sacred Scripture in the life of the Church, especially the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation DEI VERBUM (DV), Chapter VI in particular.  There are three major areas of concentration:

 ·         The interiorization of the Word of God

This is a basic prerequisite for ministers of the Word „lest any of them become an ‘empty
preacher of the Word of God outwardly, who is not a listener to it inwardly’” (DV 25).

·         The communication of the Word of God

The ultimate goal of the course is “that as many ministers of the Divine Word as possible will be able effectively to provide the nourishment of the Scriptures for the People of God” (DV 23).

·        The study of Scripture for better understanding.

Though the course is not an exegetical one strictly speaking, the importance of biblical scholarship and the concern “to move ahead daily toward a deeper understanding of the Sacred Scriptures” (DV 23) are clearly seen and instilled upon the participants.

The 2010 edition of DEI VERBUM just ended at the Divine Word Catholic Catholic Conference Centre, Nsawam.
