About This Project
The Church in Every People Group
The Bible in Every Language
With your help, we can accelerate efforts to deliver the gospel to every corner of the planet. Your donation today will support Bible translation projects in Chad, Benin, and Eurasia.
A generous partner has provided a matching gift of $100K. Every dollar you donate doubles the impact.
Join our Race for the Nations challenge before August 31, and your generosity will go twice as far.
The church around the world has expanded exponentially in the last 30 years, and the need for Bible translation has expanded with it. The Word of God in the heart language is the key to successful church-planting efforts, but traditional Bible translation methods cannot meet the demand.
UnfoldingWord provides Church-Centric Bible Translation content, tools, and training to indigenous church networks to quickly, accurately, and inexpensively translate the Whole Bible for their Whole Nation with:
Innovative open-source software Making Bible translation ten times faster
Open-licensed biblical content Breaking the copyright barrier to source texts
Comprehensive translation guides Answering difficult Bible translation questions
Essential doctrinal education Protecting the theological integrity of translations
Training Equipping indigenous Bible translation teams with best practices
It’s more than our mission.
It’s a global movement that God initiated, and we are privileged to serve.

Impact Statements
Islam teaches that God cannot hear your prayers in your language and that God will not speak your language. We’ve translated unfoldingWordⓇ Open Bible Stories into seven languages, and we see people coming to the Lord because they learn that God can hear their language. We see the impact and want to translate God’s Word into every language in our nation.
—Sudanese Ministry Partner, Tut Kony with Greater Reach Alliance
When the government kicked out all Western missionaries, we had to find a way forward. unfoldingWord’s Church-Centric Bible Translation system gave us those tools.
—Venezuelan Bible translation partner.
Why give to this project?
17,443 people groups inhabit our world. Almost half of them remain unreached by the gospel. When you invest in our Catalyst Partner Fund, you become part of the solution by freeing local churches around the world to translate the Bible into their own language!
Join the community of catalyst partners who are making God’s word accessible to every language on earth.
