There\u2019s a major barrier to every person having God’s whole Word\u2014from Genesis to Revelation:<\/span> Only 10% of the world\u2019s languages have a full Bible translation.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Without the Old Testament, many New Testament references remain incomprehensible. On average every fourth verse<\/span><\/strong> in the New Testament is a reference, illusion, or direct quote from the OT.<\/p>\n

We are part of a global movement<\/span> of churches, translators, and Bible agencies committed to making God\u2019s whole Word accessible to every person. But there’s a huge need<\/strong> for more translators<\/strong> <\/span>who have the necessary understanding of Biblical Hebrew to translate the OT directly into a Bibleless language.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whole Word Institute equips local leaders with biblical language training to translate the Scriptures directly into their own languages. By working from the original, they produce translations and biblical resources that are faithful, lasting, and rooted in their cultures.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Serving with our partners around the world, our goal is to see OT translation underway in every language by 2033.<\/span> Please join us in this great commitment\u2014the whole Word for the whole world<\/i>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
