Why Bible Translation?

Scripture in the mother tongue is foundational to a maturing church.


God speaks every language

7,394 - languages spoken in the world
1,658 - languages with only the New Testament
1,264 - languages with only portions of the Bible
1,268 - languages with no Bible at all
(September 2023 statistics)

Pursuing the Vision

We partner with churches to send teams who facilitate Bible translation and community development while working to establish indigenous churches.

Teams:
Teams are sent ultimately to make disciples of Jesus and plant local churches. Every team member is involved with church planting.

Bible Translation:
Church-planting teams include members trained to work with mother-tongue speakers in translating Scripture into their language and making it available in accessible formats.

Community Development:
Church-planting teams include members trained to help the people identify and develop God-given resources in areas including agriculture, economics, and health. Teams also facilitate literacy initiatives.

Indigenous Churches:
The overarching goal of all efforts is a maturing church that is set apart to God yet reproducible within its cultural context.
