Who are bibleless?

For the most part, bibleless peoples are the ones you see and hear about on the news… they are persecuted for their religion or race. They are looked down upon by their neighbors for their language and culture. They are refugees and internally displaced people. They are the most affected by terrorism, war, hunger and natural disasters. Others may call them "unreached". On the other hand, sometimes we never hear the stories of the bibleless or forgotten people. The fact is that we have hundreds of English translations of the Bible while some people have not one verse of the Bible in their preferred language... 

they are forgotten

The next generation of Nigerians need Scripture in their language 

With your partnership, John is currently the project manager in Nigeria for 13 languages in 6 Bible translation projects. To help build capacity to bring the current 240 bibleless people groups in Nigeria down to Zero, John is overseeing six Nigerian men and women who are already well experienced Bible translators in a three-year growth plan to become Bible translation Consultants plus a 7th who will become a literacy consultant. This is so important since there is currently a worldwide shortage of Bible translation consultants who are needed as the final authoritative check on the accuracy of a translation before it can be published. 

“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me!’
