Reaching The Nations

Help provide God’s Word in EVERY language for EVERY people group IN OUR LIFETIME.

IllumiNations is an alliance of Bible translation agencies and resource partners working together with generous givers like you to eradicate Bible poverty.

This is our shared goal:
To see ALL people gain access to God’s Word in a language they can clearly understand BY 2033.

Scripture in Every Language by 2033

The 12 Verse Challenge was birthed out of illumiNations’ mission to make God’s Word accessible to every language on earth by 2033. Since the inception of the 12VC in 2020, countless people have taken the challenge, resulting in 1,034,406  chapters of the Bible being translated. 761,095 chapters remain.

The average cost of translating one verse of Scripture is $35.  By taking the 12 Verse Challenge, you commit to $35 a month to translate 12 verses of Scripture each year, until the work is done. 100% funds Bible translation work. Let’s do this together!

*The goal listed above represents our All Access Goals. The All Access Goals are the 6,000+ current languages with an estimated vitality that suggests Scripture translation is needed by 2033.

God’s Word Changes Everything.

But not everyone has access to Scripture.

Today, there are approximately 3,400 language groups with little or no access to Scripture.

Over 1,000 people groups do not have even a single verse of Scripture in a language they best understand. Their Bibles are blank.

But the good news …

By 2033, We Envision:

0 %
of people will have access to the full Bible.

95% of people will have access to the full Bible.

95%
0 %

100% of the world’s most strategic written languages will be available in 2 useable translations.

We refer to this objective as our All Access Goals.
