Help Bring the Bible to People in their
HEART LANGUAGE
THE CAUSE
Around the world Bible translators are working to translate the Word of God into their own language. Yet, in so doing they often face great hardships and challenges, including financial issues, inadequate infrastructure, isolation, and weather events.
Bible translators need their families, their teams, their churches, their communities, the United Bible Societies, and you to help complete this urgent work!
THE IMPACT
By making a gift today, here is the impact you will be having:
- You will be supporting Bible translation projects in the Asia-Pacific region (see below) by enabling Bible translators to access the essential equipment, training, and consultancy support they require to complete their translations.
The Bible Translation Roadmap
In 2018, the United Bible Societies Fellowship created the ambitious target of completing 1,200 Bible translations by 2038. Through its Bible Translation Roadmap, it aims to complete 880 first Bible translations. By the way, a first Bible translation is where the Bible is translated into a language that up until now has had little or no Scripture.
Secondly, it aims to complete 320 new and revised translations. This is where existing Scripture translations, some of which may have been in existence for many years, are revised in order to make the language easier for a younger generation to understand.
So far, thirty-three projects have been completed, there are 233 ongoing projects, and 294 projects are waiting to be started. This includes translating the Bible into sign languages.
Your gift this month will support projects on the Bible Translation Roadmap in Thailand, Papua New Guinea, the South Pacific and New Zealand.
