Make An Eternal Impact
What Is Adopt-a-Verse?
Adopt-a-Verse is a one-time giving event that invites people in your church to sponsor individual Bible verses to help fund a Scripture translation project. Every $35 gift helps translate one verse of Scripture and brings a community closer to having God’s Word.
No More Blank Bibles
Why Bible Translation Matters
For millions of people around the world, their Bible is blank. Some communities don’t have any Scripture, and others are still waiting to have the full counsel of God’s Word in a language and format that they can clearly understand. But we can help — one verse at a time.
When your church steps into Adopt-a-Verse, you join a global story of faith, generosity and transformation.
Let’s bring Scripture to life together!
