Would you ever have imagined that there are 7,396 languages spoken in the world?

And in how many of these, do you think, the Bible has already been translated?
The correct answer is: 4,167 (56.3%).

Of the remaining 43.7% — 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 522 languages (about 7% of the total), which means about 37 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 4,440 languages!

• In the last 12 months, the number of languages in absolute need of translation has fallen from 985 to 522 (a reduction of about 47%!!)

• 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!!!)
