What if you never heard the whole story?
Imagine not knowing the creation story, the stories of faith in the Hebrew Scriptures, or even the 10 commandments. Right now, millions of people have no access to the whole Word of God, most of them without any foundation of the whole Bible.
The Old Testament Gap
Of the 7,000+ languages in the world,
There’s a major barrier to every person having God’s whole Word—from Genesis to Revelation: Only 10% of the world’s languages have a full Bible translation.
Without the Old Testament, many New Testament references remain incomprehensible. On average every fourth verse in the New Testament is a reference, illusion, or direct quote from the OT.
We are part of a global movement of churches, translators, and Bible agencies committed to making God’s whole Word accessible to every person. But there’s a huge need for more translators who have the necessary understanding of Biblical Hebrew to translate the OT directly into a Bibleless language.
Whole Word Institute equips local leaders with biblical language training to translate the Scriptures directly into their own languages. By working from the original, they produce translations and biblical resources that are faithful, lasting, and rooted in their cultures.
Serving with our partners around the world, our goal is to see OT translation underway in every language by 2033. Please join us in this great commitment—the whole Word for the whole world.
“What this community really wants is the whole Bible… so the Word of God can enter this place and transform people’s hearts.”
