God’s Word. Everyone. Everywhere. Every Day.

DAY 2 OF 3

Everywhere

Everyone, everywhere, should have access to God’s Word. That means everyone should be able to engage with God’s Word in their heart language.

Currently, the Bible is translated into over 2,350 languages. That is something to celebrate! However, there are over 7,000 languages in the world today. That means that while we have accomplished great things, we’re only a third of the way there!

Each new translation represents lives changed, and each new translation requires the work and passion of countless people over many years. Here are stories directly from the people whose lives have been changed because of it.

“I installed the Bible App in 2012, but I didn't start using it consistently until 2015. At that time, the languages available were quite limited, so I couldn't read more than the Verse of the Day most days. But then my native language, Nyankole, was added. I could now read the entire Bible and hear God's Word preached from the Bible App in Nyankole!”

— Dan, Uganda

“I am from Mexico, but I am currently a missionary living in Cambodia. The Bible App has been an amazing resource. I can compare English, Spanish, and Khmer, and I can better explain the Gospel to those around me. Not only have the languages helped me better spread the Good News, but they have also helped me better understand the languages themselves.”

— Laura, Cambodia

“My relationship with God is something I deeply value. With the technological shift, the Bible App has helped me stay connected without limitations. It breaks barriers, and I can read God's Word in my own language. It has empowered me to nurture my faith and truly place my dependence on God in all times and seasons. Hearing from speakers across different countries, cultures, and contexts has made me realize that God's Word remains relevant and powerful for everyone, everywhere.”

— John, Philippines

As you read these stories, remember—your generosity makes stories like these possible. Let’s continue sharing God’s Word until everyone, everywhere, can engage with Scripture in their own language.

Reflect and Respond:

What can you do today to continue reaching every tribe, tongue, and nation?

  • Share the Good News with someone today.
  • Pray for a specific country, language, or people group.
  • Be encouraged that your generosity is reaching every tribe, tongue, and nation with God’s Word.

Prayer:

God,

Thank You that You care so deeply for the world that You sent Your Son, Jesus. Out of that freedom, we get to hear story after story of life change and witness it in our own lives, with those we love, and around the world. Never let us lose the wonder of the power of Your presence.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
