“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105Imagine loving Jesus with all your heart, yet never having read His words in your own language. For millions of believers, this is still daily life.
Some have a Bible only in a national language they half understand. Some share one Bible among a whole village. Many cannot read at all.
Three ways we put the Word in their hands
Printed Bibles in local languages. Where a translation exists, we buy and distribute Bibles and New Testaments to churches, families and new believers.
Audio Scripture. For those who cannot read, a small solar-powered audio player or a phone loaded with Scripture means they can hear God's Word every day — in the fields, at the well, at their bedside.
Support for translation. Where no translation exists, we support local churches and translators doing the long, faithful work of bringing Scripture into their mother tongue.
Why the heart language matters
A Bible in a second language speaks to the head. A Bible in your mother tongue speaks to the heart. Many people, hearing Scripture in their own language for the first time, say the same thing: "God speaks my language."
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).
Bible Translation & Distribution
Bibles and audio Scripture in local languages, placed in the hands of those who have waited for them.
