Print On Demand
Just translating the Scriptures is not enough. Someone still has to DISTRIBUTE the Bibles!
In a remote village—bound by belief in black magic—an old man, leading his tribe, was so consumed with evil he wore the flesh of his victims in a string bag tied to his belt for spiritual power.
But God’s Word knocked him off his pedestal.
Because of a friend like you, the killer emptied his bag of its vile contents, and replaced it—with a Bible.
“Now, I’ll carry this book,” he declared to his people, “because I understand it’s the only way to have spiritual power! I believe in Jesus, and will keep these words of His with me!”
God’s Word, in this man’s own heart language, made all the difference.
But there’s a catch . . .
Just translating the Scriptures is not enough.
Someone still has to DISTRIBUTE the Bibles!
This is the final link in the chain of love!
Wycliffe Associates assists translators with printing Bibles using a combination of local print shops and Print On Demand system. This way, nationals can print their OWN Bibles, in their own language—even in remote areas and areas hostile to the Gospel.
Our Bible Distribution team also creates digital apps for mobile devices that let readers access their Bible for free, at any time. Digital apps include the local heart language, plus a language of wider communication, called a Gateway language.
The Bible Distribution team also assists with distributing Sign Language Bibles digitally, through the Internet and with a mobile app that works on both Android and iPhone. The Sign Language Bible app allows Deaf people to download video files onto their phones and tablets to watch the Scriptures come to life as they see a fellow Deaf Christian sign the Bible.
And the result: God’s Word transforms whole communities when you help believers translate—and distribute—the Scriptures themselves.
But many more villages, many more language groups, still urgently need help.
You can help! Right now, we are trying to raise funds to distribute New Testaments for thousands of people who now have translated Scripture but it's not yet distributed
Would you consider providing a New Testament for believers for just $3?
How about providing New Testaments to Christian families hiding in countries of great persecution and wanting to share Scripture with their children, in the language they understand.
Please give generously for the persecuted believers, desperate for God’s precious words of love, forgiveness, and mercy, written in their own language. Share the joy. Share the Word. Thank you! God bless you!
