Every Verse Tells a Story. Every Story Reveals His Love.

When you adopt a verse, you help people encounter God for the first time in their heart language. This is how love becomes visible and the Word comes alive.

“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
— John 1:14 (CSB)

Transformation Begins with Translation

Every translation tells a story of grace. When Scripture is finally read in a person’s heart language, something awakens. Faith grows, hope is restored, and the Church comes alive.

A Movement of Love

“After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands.”
— Revelation 7:9 (CSB)

The Great Commandment and the Great Commission are meeting—in villages, homes, and churches around the world. Each verse adopted is an act of love: love for God, who desires every tribe and tongue to know Him; and love for a neighbor who longs to hear His voice.
