The Bible 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 millions 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.
— Romans 10:14–15 (CSB)

The Locked Door

For generations, Bible translation was a locked door—requiring decades and enormous monetary costs. But Beyond Translation’s Church-Centric Bible Translation (CCBT) model is changing that. By equipping local believers, the timeline is reduced from 20 years to 8, and the cost is cut in half.

So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.
— Psalm 67:2 (CSB)

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.’
— Matthew 22:37–39 (CSB)

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 translated is a seed planted, a door unlocked, and a heart awakened.
