This fund supports the printing and distribution of Scripture when translations are completed or when unexpected needs arise.

The Need for Printed Scripture
Through Lutheran Bible Translators, 48 New Testaments and full Bibles have been translated, serving communities around the world. Translation is only the beginning. Communities need printed Scripture they can read, share, and use in worship.
In many places, demand for printed Bibles continues to exceed available supply. In some communities, people use worn or damaged copies because new Bibles are not available.
Access to Scripture in a familiar language remains essential for faith and teaching. This fund allows Lutheran Bible Translators to respond when Scripture is needed and when timing matters.
