You’re changing lives like Elena’s

Elena felt empty and alone. She was going through the motions, but inside, she felt disconnected from God. Here’s her story.

That one decision to open God’s Word completely transformed Elena’s life. And it changed her family.

When you give, you’re helping people around the world not just access the Bible in their heart language, but grow deeper in their relationship with God because of it. Thank you.

Good News!

In June, we specifically prayed for the Bible translation work for the Mosiye people in Ethiopia.

We’re excited to share that the translation is estimated to be complete this month!

Because of you, the Mosiye people will receive God’s Word in their heart language for the first time—and that’s just one language out of hundreds that your generosity is making possible.

You’ve helped reach a total of 375 Bible translations!

We’re excited and expectant about what God will do and the stories of transformation that will follow.

Let’s Pray Together

As we continue the work of taking God’s Word around the world, let’s pray together.

God,

Thank You for inviting us into the work of taking Your Word to people all over the world in their heart language.

Thank You that You are big enough to reach the whole world, yet personal enough to care for every single person on it.

May Your Word be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
