Bible Translation Isn’t Finished Until Every Language Has Heard
More than 3,600 languages still have no Scripture at all. That means over one billion people have never read John 3:16 in their heart language. This is not just a statistic—it’s a call to love our neighbor and finish the mission.
God’s Word Changes Everything
Imagine waking up every Sunday and never hearing the Bible read in a language you understand. No Psalms of comfort. No Gospels of hope. No Word of Life in your mother tongue. That’s the reality for over a billion people around the world today.
Even though translation technology and missions have advanced, there are still billions without full access to Scripture. These are not just numbers—they represent neighbors waiting to hear God speak in their heart language.
“How, then, can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.”
The Locked Door
For centuries, millions longed to read or hear God’s Word in a language they understood—but the door remained closed. It once took twenty years and more than a million dollars to translate a single Bible. Through Beyond Translation’s Church-Centric Bible Translation (CCBT) model, local churches are now leading the work—reducing translation time to eight years and cutting the cost in half.
The door is opening. You can be the key.
“So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.”
Love in Action
“He said to him, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
When you adopt a verse, you’re not just giving—you’re loving. You’re loving God by sharing His Word and loving your neighbor by giving them access to it. Every verse adopted creates the opportunity for transformation.
