The Bible is unique among books;

it is inspired by God and reveals how people everywhere can be delivered from spiritual darkness and eternal separation from Him. The ultimate goal of Bible translation is more than just publishing another book; rather, it’s to introduce people of every nation, tribe, people and language to the Living God, as revealed through Jesus Christ.

When it is clearly understood—

the Bible can bring positive change to individuals, communities and entire nations. Our mission is to see Scriptures translated and communicated through appropriate print or audio-visual media, so they meaningfully touch everyone. God’s Word helps people to receive the gospel and truly know Him. Then they can follow Christ as disciples, living out their salvation in a way that infuses truth and wholeness into families and societies.

As believers walk with God, they are freed from fear and self-destruction. Families are mended as parents and children learn to love and serve one another in God’s way. Crime is reduced in communities. Intertribal warfare stops as people obey the Lord’s command to forgive. Using mother tongue Scriptures, churches are formed, strengthened and equipped for evangelism—reproducing the blessings again and again.
