About

The mission of the Word for the World is to enable persons, ministries and organizations from language communities that do not have the Bible in their own language yet to take responsibility for Bible translation and related activities and to ensure its availability. (cont. Sch. O)The Word for the World trains nationals in the required skills and provides them with the support they need to accurately translate God's Word into their primary language. The Organization partners with others to print and distribute the newly translated Scripture, and promote literacy and Scripture engagement where needed. The Word for the World has more than 40 years of experience in Bible translation, and its unique, mobile training program results in Bibles that are among the most accurate, readily accepted, cost effective and timely Bible translations in the world.
