Would you ever have imagined that there are 7,391 languages spoken in the world?

And in how many of these, do you think, the Bible has already been translated?
The correct answer is: 4,058 (54,9%).

Of the remaining 45,1% — though there is an already vast number of projects in action — we have determined that there still is an absolute need to translate God’s Word in 561 languages (about 7,6% of the total), which means about 38 millions of people without the most precious gift mankind could ever receive!
So, when we open our Bible, let’s give thanks… and think of those who still don’t have access to it!

Here are some significant and encouraging facts:

• A Bible translation project is currently underway in 4,447 languages!

• In the last 12 months, a new translation project has started at the rate 1 every 19 hours!

• In the last 12 months, the number of languages in absolute need of translation has fallen from 985 to 561 (a reduction of about 57%!!)

• In the last 12 months, the Bible or New Testament has been distributed for the first time in 118 languages (23 B and 95 NT)… at a rate of 1 every 3 days!!
