Goal
The Word of God in the language of the heart changes lives like nothing else on earth.
It was 2006. A young Islamic man, walking home in Sudan, found a scrap of paper that changed his life. In large Arabic print, the paper read, “God is Love,” followed by several Scripture verses.
He said:
Later that year, Samir fled war-torn Sudan for Ethiopia. He says, “The paper had vanished, but one night Jesus appeared to me, a very bright light, in a dream. He said he loved me. Nobody preached the gospel to me, but I knew that something inside me had changed. Later on, I surrendered my life to him.”
17,443 people groups inhabit our world. Almost half of them remain unreached by the gospel.
God's Word lets us know who He is. We can't know Him without it! Where would you be without God's Word in your heart language?
unfoldingWord equips local church networks to accurately translate the Bible into their heart language.
The Word of God in the language of the heart changes lives like nothing else on earth. A generous financial partner has offered a one-for-two matching grant to help spread the Word, so we’ve set a goal to raise $100,000 by December 31st. If we raise $100,000, our partner will add $50,000!
Will you join us and invest in the life-changing power of the Word of God?
