Think about a time you turned to God’s Word for comfort, peace, hope and reassurance.
After you experienced the words of Scripture, how did you feel?
Around the world today, people are finding hope and joy — and they are being transformed from the inside out — when they experience Bible verses and passages in their language for the very first time!
This April 16 is Give the Word Wednesday: a day that we set aside before Easter to remember how much God loves us and meditate on His Word. It’s also a day we commit to giving in community so that people can experience the transforming power of God’s Word personally.
We believe everyone should have Scripture in their own language so that they can know how greatly God loves them — so much that He sent His Son to live, die and be resurrected so they can have eternal life.
This Give the Word Wednesday, you have the chance to provide Scripture to people — not only now but for generations to come.
When you partner monthly with Bible translation projects, you’re not just donating money; you’re giving someone a powerful gift that changes their life for eternity! And your first monthly gift will be matched to double in impact.

Give the power of God’s Word
The Bible is important to me because it’s the way God speaks to us directly — through the letters, through the words. It’s that Word speaking to me that gives us what we need for life, so that we can come to know Christ and know salvation.
