Pray for Bible Translation
Join together in prayer for the Scripture translation movement to provide ALL people with access to God’s Word.
One Week. One Mission. Millions of Prayers.
For the first time ever, the illumiNations alliance is coming together to invite the global Church into a dedicated week of prayer for the work of Bible translation.
From September 30 - October 6, we’ll pray daily using Scripture-based reflections from The Translation Prayer. Together, we’re asking God to move in power so every person can access His Word in a language they understand.
