This Easter, help more people encounter Jesus through Scripture in their language.

Bika Jean (picture changed) had never seen anything like it before.

In Togo, the Akebu people gathered to celebrate the completion of the New Testament in their language. As a church deacon, Bika Jean joined the singing, dancing and prayers of thanksgiving.

Later he received a copy of the New Testament in his language. “As I read it, something awakened within me,” he said. “The verses I knew took on a new meaning, clearer and more vivid.”

God is using Bible translation to draw people like Bika Jean closer to Jesus Christ. 

This Easter, many people across Africa and around the world are still waiting to experience the resurrection story in a language that touches their hearts. They may have heard parts of Scripture, but they have never experienced God’s Word in a language they think in, dream in and pray in.

You can share the Easter story of God’s love. Your gift can help provide printed Scripture where it is ready to be received. On average, it costs just $10 to put the Scriptures in someone’s hands today. 

Together we can share the hope of new life in Christ this Easter!

“When I led the final prayer at the dedication, I felt the weight of history,” said Ejam Goodness from the Ndokwa translation team in Nigeria. “... This Bible is an answer to generations of prayers. As women, we now have the tools to teach our children the Word of God in the language they understand from birth.”

We praise God for what He is doing through Bible translation around the world. He continues to open new doors to start Bible translation in so many communities. Your gift today will help share the Easter story — and more printed Scripture — with people in a language and format they clearly understand.

Thank you for your partnership in this work that spans generations! Your generosity is helping move us toward the day when all people have access to all Scripture.
