Transform Lives through Scripture Engagement.

Our Vision is that the life-changing Gospel of the Kingdom is proclaimed and preached to every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.

Our Mission is to join in the completion of the Great Commission through Scripture Engagement in all languages and every people group.

Our Challenges:

Despite significant progress in evangelism, discipleship, and church-planting, the following Bible gaps persist:

Cultural barriers diminish Scripture engagement.
Modern distractions reduce attention spans for spiritual matters.
Time constraints and literacy issues hinder Bible reading.
High costs and logistical complexities delay Bible translations. 
Language and accessibility gaps limit Gospel reach.

We respond to these challenges by producing Scripture Translations and Scripture Expressions in all languages and initiating Scripture Engagement in every people group together with the Global Church.

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations (ethnos), and then the end will come.”

Scripture Translation

of The Concise Bible provides a powerful selection of key Scriptures centered on Jesus Christ, emphasizing His roles as Creator, Savior, Judge, and King. This initiative aims to make the Gospel accessible in all languages, empower believers, support church growth, and serve as an introduction to the complete Bible.

Scripture Expression

engages in the creation of digital outreach content to present God’s word and captivate a global audience through apps, audio, reading plans, videos, memes, social media assets, and more. This strategic approach enhances the accessibility and relevance of Scripture in today’s digital landscape.

Scripture Engagement

utilizes digital marketing and distribution strategies to increase traffic and encourage Bible reading. By leveraging targeted digital approaches for both unreached populations and believers, we foster deeper engagement with Scripture. Through technology, we expand the reach of God’s word, nurture faith journeys, and promote spiritual growth worldwide.

From Doubt to Faith

Soaring Ahead

Our Decade-long Flight Plan for Global Impact

2023-2028

Runway Phase

This phase is crucial for establishing a solid foundation. We aim to complete The Concise Bible in 61 gateway languages, create social media assets, and initiate Scripture engagement through digital evangelism for these significant language groups covering most of the world’s population.

2026-2031

Take-off Phase

During this phase, our focus expands to mid-level languages. We will translate The Concise Bible, social media assets, and initiate Scripture engagement through digital evangelism to reach mid-size language communities in collaboration with multi-lingual individuals and churches.

2028-2033

Soaring Phase

In the final phase, collaboration with multi-lingual individuals and churches that know minority languages will become more critical. We will equip and mobilize the Global Church for exponential progress to translate The Concise Bible and social media assets, combined with Scripture engagement through digital evangelism to reach all remaining language groups.
