Scriptures for Them

Imagine facing each day without knowing God. Or, imagine not having a Bible to read in your language.

Every day hundreds of millions of people speaking more than 2,000 unique languages face life without the comfort of God’s Word — not even ONE verse of Scripture — in their language.
