Your help makes a difference!

PROBLEM: There are 2 billion people without a complete Bible in their heart language, many in areas that are inaccessible to current translation processes.

SOLUTION: GBI is proposing a new paradigm to Bible translation. We want to invite believers from all over the world to join the Bible translation movement. To help local believers who desire a Bible translation in their local language, GBI is building an online web app called YouTranslate.Bible. We also envision a robust social network of believers who will give feedback as translation is completed, provide theological insight, and help engagement of the local people group as Scripture is completed. 

YOUR PART: We would be honored to have you pray from the continuing development, growth, and advancement of YouTranslate.Bible and for the more than 150 projects we plan to engage with over the next 3 years. We would also love to have you come alongside GBI to help fund the development work needed.

Stories of Impact

"When I brought home the first Bible passage I had worked on, my Ana [mother] wept. She could hardly believe that her Qizi [daughter] is now a Bible translator."

If those missionaries had not come to my house, how could I know about God? And how could my life of darkness turn into light?”

"At that time Bibles were scarce. I still remember my earnest prayer to have a Bible of my own one day."

A Prayer for Bible Translation

We encourage you to pray this prayer for Bible translation around the world: 

God, Your Word is more precious than all I possess.
Your Scripture gives light to my path and directs my steps.
Through Your will alone, lives are transformed and minds made new.
So I now pray for all people that do not know You.
For You’ve promised that Your voice by every tribe and nation will be heard.
So equip us by Your breath to provide every heart language with Your Word.
