Bible Translation
The Word of God is the church’s framework
$35 pays for a verse and a lot more.
It pays for all the costs of translating a verse, flying people in to check it, attending seminars to help translators do it well — even printing it and getting it to the people. It also provides for literacy materials, so people can read God’s Word and take notes. And it funds Bible lessons, so they can understand it clearly.
* Gifts to students and those going on short-term trips do not qualify for a tax receipt.
God has given His inspired Word to reveal Himself to the lost world, and provide His children with instruction, encouragement, reproof, and wisdom for life. But what about those who don’t have it?
It’s difficult to believe that there are still hundreds of languages without a translation of God’s Word. Our goal is to put the Word of God into the hands of the people groups with whom we work! Our missionaries are equipped to not only learn an unwritten language, but to oversee the translation work and literacy training necessary so that all the ethnos can one day hear God speaking to them through His Word.
Moi Bible Dedication
God needs both sacrificial givers and sacrificial goers. After 26 years of faithful ministry, the Moi people of Asia Pacific celebrated the arrival of the Bible in their heart language. This first printing has the complete New Testament and 1,500 verses of the Old Testament.
Was it worth it? YES!
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Donate to Bible Translation
Ethnos estimates that it takes 15 years and $277,000 from the time a work starts until a Bible is printed. That works out to about $35 a verse. That covers all the costs of translating a verse, flying people in to check it, attending seminars to help translators do it well — even printing it and getting it to the people. It also provides for literacy materials and Bible lessons, so people can read and understand God’s Word and take notes.
Will you sponsor a verse or two, or ten? Perhaps you could choose a chapter or even a book to sponsor. All for only $35 a verse.
