The Challenge
Over 2 billion people still have little to no biblical teaching in their own language to help them become mature disciples.
Most people on earth have access to a Bible in their language, but lack sound, Christian teaching to help them apply it to their lives.
Together, we’re closing the gap.
We are pioneers in a global discipleship revolution.
In some countries, people have never even seen a book in their own language besides the Bible. People need biblical teaching to help them apply scripture to their lives and become mature disciples. In addition to distributing physical, printed resources, our publishing partner Galilee.com enables us to digitally distribute ebooks, audiobooks, and courses to a potential 7.33 billion people with smartphones, even in closed and persecuted nations. At Send the Light Mission, we believe that everyone deserves access to Biblical teaching regardless of language, location, or financial position. That’s why we’re on a mission to get these translated resources into the hands of everyone on the planet who needs them.
