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.
From September 27–October 4, the illumiNations alliance is once again inviting the global Church to unite in a dedicated week of prayer for the work of Bible translation.
Each day, we’ll pray through Scripture-based reflections from each part of the world. Together, we’re asking God to move in power so every person can access His Word in a language they understand by 2033.
