In 1966, the United States Congress established a permanent day of the year to honor Bible translation. Held annually on September 30^th, Bible Translation Day honors the work of Bible translation around the world and raises awareness for global access to Scripture.

More than 200 million people, representing nearly 3,300 languages, have no portion of the Bible in their heart language, and over one billion people are still waiting for a complete Bible in their mother tongue. Since 1981, Bibles International has worked to translate God's Word into the languages of those who are waiting.

We encourage churches and individuals to begin an intentional practice of observing Bible Translation Day on September 30^th, as well as on the Sunday closest to that day.

To assist you with recognizing this important day, we have created a handout that you can download and print for use in your church and personal ministry. If you would like to give a special offering to a specific Bible translation project or request more information on Bibles International, contact us at [email protected].

What a wonderful tribute it would be to our God if churches and homes all over the United States chose to honor His Word and those who have given so much—even their own lives—for the sake of translating it!
