Would you ever have imagined that there are 7,394 languages spoken in the world?

And in how many of these, do you think, the Bible has already been translated?
The correct answer is: 4,1790 (56.6%).

Of the remaining 43.4% — 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 512 languages (about 6.9% of the total), which means about 36.3 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 4,444 languages!

• In the last 12 months, the number of languages in absolute need of translation has fallen from 561 to 512 (a reduction of about 9%!!) and just 5 years ago, that number was 1,892 (an incredible reduction of 73%!!).

• The Bible has recently been translated into 800 languages (in 1998 the figure was 400, and in 2020 it had reached 700 – meaning that the number has doubled in less than 30 years. We thank God for this remarkable acceleration!!!)

• In the last 12 months, 26 complete Bibles and 59 New Testaments have been completed… that’s one project completed every 4 days!!
  And all of this also means that in the last year alone, over 100 million people gained access to the entire Bible for the first time, and about 30 million people gained access to the New Testament for the first time. Glory to God!
