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.

Help Meet the Growing Need for Scripture

Your prayers and financial gifts enable us to respond to unexpected requests for Scripture, ensuring that communities worldwide have access to God’s Word when they need it most.

  3. Respond to unexpected requests for Scripture, including early completions or reprints.
  4. Ensure printed Scripture reaches churches and communities for reading and worship.
