When Irina read the Gospel of Luke in her language, the words of Jesus came alive in her life like never before. “It was like Jesus was one of us!” she said. “I could feel in my heart that he was much closer. There really is a difference.”

“I now see that God is looking for our hearts,” said another community member. “And the way to God is through him who brought the great sacrifice, not through outer rituals.”

Around the world, the Holy Spirit is using translated Scripture to draw people like Irina to himself. When individuals and communities have access to God’s Word in a language and format they clearly understand, they can encounter Jesus in a personal way.

That’s why your partnership in translating the Bible is so vital. Your help makes it possible to continue this work so that one day people from every language can know God through his Word.

Please respond with your gift to advance Bible translation around the world — so that everyone can experience God’s message of love in a language that speaks to their hearts.
