About This Cause

AROUND THE WORLD, OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND 1 BILLION people around the world don't have access to God's Word. 89 MILLION people in the U.S. don't read their Bible. 2,000 + languages have yet to receive a complete Bible translation. 1 IN 7 people have experienced trauma that prevents them from encountering God in the Bible. In the United States, Bibles lay abandoned on bookshelves. “Bible skeptics”—those who view the Bible as nothing more than an outdated book of stories, teachings and advice—now outnumber those people engaging with the Bible by more than 10 million people. Around the world, more than one billion people lack access to a complete Bible in their heart language. Countless others cope with war, famine, poverty and injustice. In response, our work includes: TRANSLATING the Bible where no translation exists DISTRIBUTING the Bible to people who long for their first copy RESTORING broken lives through God's Word ADVOCATING for the Bible to play a role in culture Together, we will help see 100 million people in the U.S. actively engaging with God’s Word by 2025. Together, we will help translate 100 percent of languages for Scripture engagement by 2025.
