Through the Bible, God can
speak directly to every man, woman and child. But unless
people have Scripture in their heart language, they cannot read his message of life, love
and hope. Over 2000 languages still don’t have even one Bible
verse.
6.9 billion people. 6,900 languages.
1 World. 1 God.
1 Gospel.
