PRAY
Join us in prayer for the advancement of Bible translation
Sign up here to receive our monthly prayer calendar and join thousands of believers worldwide interceding for God’s Word to reach every people group.
Your prayers are vitally important!
People working in the Church-Centric Bible Translation movement face enormous challenges — some of them life-and-death struggles.
Please join us as we pray for these brothers and sisters across the globe as they work tirelessly to reach those who don’t have the Word of God in their language!
Monthly Regional Highlight – Bible Society of Jordan
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the Gateway Language (GL) for 20 to 24 countries, many of which lack Bible translations in their own languages. In partnership with the Bible Society of Jordan (BSOJ), unfoldingWord aims to equip church networks in this region with free, open Scripture resources and tools to meet the Scripture and discipleship needs of minority communities in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The Bible Society of Jordan is a well-established, trusted discipleship ministry serving its Muslim brothers and sisters in Jordan and across the MENA region.
