Solving Bible Access for God's Advancing Church
This Gap is the unfortunate reality for existing believers in hard places and those they are laboring to reach.
What makes Bible Access so difficult?
Jesus followers are planting churches in previously unimaginable places. With the potential to reach 10 million global churches by the year 2025, that’s nearly 10X Gospel growth this decade.
Thanks to movements like illumiNations, God’s Word is being translated for over 96.5% of the global population. It’s becoming available to almost everyone.

The church in remote, restricted, and under-resourced places is advancing powerfully. Yet the people being served by these churches lack basic access to the Bible.
A new collective impact alliance of leading Bible ministries and kingdom investors is covenanting to solve this big problem and deliver God’s Word to the 1 billion people living in this growing
Bible Gap.

Deepened partnership will open new opportunities. A Bible ecosystem will power the multi-media Scripture assets needed for deployment.
The harvest is ripe, and the workers are now many, yet the advancing church must be fully equipped with the most precious of tools – the Bible. Together let’s serve them with God’s Word – comprehensively.
It’s a Kingdom opportunity way bigger than any one organization, and both ministries and marketplace leaders are unifying this common cause.
“God is raising up this new Alliance to actually deliver God’s Word to every community in a format they understand.”
John Chesnut, CEO Wycliffe Bible Translators
“There is a massive gap between a product, and that product being delivered and producing transformation – we need to bridge this gap”
Kobus Van Aswegen, CEO of The Word For The World
“Too often we are only able to pass out 1 Bible for every 3 churches we plant – their first act as a new church is to rip the Bible into sections. We need to do better."
Steven Loots, President of Harvesters Ministries.
“A pastor in Indonesia should just be able to search the internet in their mother tongue and get the Bible. Out of every 10 pastors in Russia only 1 speaks English. Why are church planters not getting Bibles when they need them. Anything that can get access to church planters must happen now.”
Mats-Jan Söderberg, Director of Wycliffe Swede
