Bible Needs http://biblesociety.org.nz/bible-needs/ We run regular appeals to raise awareness and funds to aid Bible publishing, distribution, translation and engagement in New Zealand and worldwide. The worldwide need is great and meeting this need relies on the generosity of supporters.

$20 per chapter per year.

A first-time translation of a full Bible into a language takes about 12 years to complete. The average cost of the entire project is $300,000.

This works out at $25,000 a year or $20 for each of the 1,189 chapters in the Bible. So for every multiple of $20 that you give today you will provide a whole chapter of the Bible in a new translated language.

Will you please help progress Bible translation work around the world?
