OUR INNOVATIVE TRANSLATION FRAMEWORK ALLOWS US TO ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY TRANSLATE FIRST BIBLES, STUDY BIBLES, AND MODERN LANGUAGE BIBLES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. WE ALSO DISTRIBUTE THE BIBLE WITH THE AIM OF PLACING GOD'S WORD INTO THE HANDS AND HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR TRUTH. SINCE OUR FOUNDING, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 6.9 BILLION PIECES OF SCRIPTURE WORLDWIDE. OFTEN, OUR BIBLE DISTRIBUTION MINISTRY LEADS US TO THE FRONTLINES OF CONFLICT, WAR, TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS, AND OTHER HUMANITARIAN CRISES. WE JOYFULLY PARTNER WITH LOCAL BIBLE SOCIETIES MINISTERING IN MORE THAN 240 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES AROUND THE WORLD TO ENSURE EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION THROUGH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. OUR BIBLE SOCIETY PARTNERS ARE EXPERTS ON THEIR NATIONS' CHURCH CULTURES AND HELP US RESPOND TO THE REAL-TIME SCRIPTURE NEEDS OF LOCAL BELIEVERS.

THIS RESEARCH INDICATES PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE WITH SCRIPTURE MORE DEEPLY EXPERIENCE LESS STRESS, MORE HOPE, HIGHER LEVELS OF HUMAN FLOURISHING, AND LOWER LEVELS OF LONELINESS THAN THOSE WHO INTERACT WITH THE BIBLE LESS FREQUENTLY AND GIVE IT A LESS CENTRAL PLACE IN THEIR LIVES. 18 PERCENT OF AMERICANS WERE SCRIPTURE ENGAGED IN 2024, AND WE PRAY THIS PROPORTION WILL INCREASE IN THE COMING YEARS.
