Bible translation at the heart of Mission
THE CAUSE
At Bible Society New Zealand, we recognise the role of Bible translation as being at the heart of the mission. Through the United Bible Societies Bible Translation Roadmap, we are helping to support the completion of 1,200 Bible translations by 2038.
Although the average Bible translation takes twelve years to complete, a translation may take many years longer. Often, it becomes the life’s work of an individual or a small, dedicated group of translators.
Unfortunately, these translators face numerous challenges as they translate God’s Word into their communities’ heart languages, including a lack of funding, resources, equipment, and infrastructure.
Today, we invite you to prayerfully consider supporting them in their labour of love.

Paul's Story
Paul Thiessen is a Bible Translator who has spent over 30 years working in Burkina Faso. In the video above he speaks about the situation in the country and of the importance of translating the whole Bible for those living in fear.
Inspired by the Great Commission, The United Bible Societies has the ambitious vision to complete 1,200 Bible Translations by 2038 which will make the Word of God accessible to 600 million People.
