Global Mission. Local Approach.
We share one mission, but our work looks different in each place, shaped by the goals and realities of the communities we serve.
Why Language?
Because language connects us to what matters most.
Over 1.5 billion people don’t have Scripture in their language – or what they need to use and apply it.
Over 750 million people can’t read or write in their own language.
Non-dominant language communities struggle to access the resources they need to make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
