Scripture in Every Heart Language
Millions are still waiting for the Bible in their language. Together, we can help change that.
Bible poverty is one of the greatest barriers to the Great Commission
Bible poverty happens when people do not have access to God’s Word in the language they know best. Access to the Bible helps empower outreach, deepen discipleship, and strengthen healthy local churches.

How Bible Translation Is Advancing
A global coalition is closing the gap
Thousands of translation projects are active today. Around the world, Great Commission Allies – organizations, local churches, and indigenous communities – are working together to bring the Bible to every language. For the first time in history, the finish line is in sight.
The Role of Indigenous and Near Neighbor Communities
Around the world, local believers and near neighbor communities are helping translate Scripture for their own people groups, making translation more accurate, natural, and sustainable.
Sign Language Bible Translation
The Deaf are one of the world’s largest unreached groups. Through sign language Bible translation and Deaf-led ministry, more people are gaining access to God’s Word.
Accelerating Translation Through Technology
While local translators remain essential, AI and emerging technologies are helping accelerate Bible translation around the world.
