Bible Translation Breaks Barriers for World Missions
Faith Facts
- The spread of the Gospel accelerates as more people receive the Bible in their own language.
- Over 1.5 billion people still await access to scripture in a language they can understand.
- Translating God’s word empowers churches, discipleship, and entire communities worldwide.
The translation of the Bible is transforming lives globally, granting countless individuals access to God’s truth in their heart language.
This great movement is strengthening local churches and helping believers grow deeper in their faith.
“The number of Christians and churches has grown hugely because people can understand the word of God in their language,” says Komi Sena, an Ifè Bible translator from Togo.
Many communities, like the Ifè people, have seen church growth after receiving translations of scripture, furthering the spread of hope and salvation.
Missiologist Lamin Sanneh observed, “There were very few places, if any, where Christian awakening had taken root where people didn’t have scriptures in the mother-tongue.”
Efforts in Bible translation now advance hand-in-hand with literacy classes, opening doors for people to not only access God’s word but transform their lives through education.
Adissa, who learned to read through these efforts, shared, “I can now read the Ifè New Testament.”
Despite these breakthroughs, dedicated believers and translation teams persevere, recognizing that many still long for the Old Testament in their native tongue.
Pastor Kodya Odah prays for the day he can preach from the whole Bible in his own language, highlighting the ongoing need for complete scripture translations.
We live in a historic moment, as obstacles to world mission crumble and God’s word brings hope where it was once locked away.
Join this momentous mission—pray, support, and celebrate the advance of God’s word to every nation, tribe, and tongue.
