The alarm goes off. Your feet hit the floor. You grab your coffee mug and Bible. You sit down to absorb what God’s living, breathing Word has for you and you see this.
「 神 爱 世 人 ， 甚 至 将 他 的 独 生 子 赐 给 他 们 ， 叫 一 切 信 他 的 ， 不 至 灭 亡 ， 反 得 永 生
or, this:
Atât de mult a iubit Dumnezeu lumea, încât Și-a dat singurul Fiu, pentru ca oricine crede în El să nu piară, ci să aibă viață veșnică.
You lift your glasses, slurp down more coffee and pray that someone just played a bad trick on you. Upon further looking, you find that the whole Bible is written in a language that you don’t understand. You run to your bookshelf and pick up one of 3 other Bibles on your shelf to find the same thing.
The Words of LIFE that have comforted you during your miscarriage, provided clarity during a confusing time in your life, or helped you express your JOY when God has worked wonders in your life are no longer there. As a matter of fact, you’ve never had a chance to ever hear them.
This is a place I never want to be. Unfortunately, this is a place where thousands of people are.
The Problem:
The Bible is not translated into every language in the world. This is Bible Poverty.
The Statistics:
♦ There are more people in world without a single verse of scripture in their language than the entire population of the United States
♦ There are more people without the complete bible in their language than without food & clean water combined
♦ Over 7000 people die a day without hearing gospel in their language
The Solution:
OneVerse has many solutions, but one I’d like to recommend to you is The Sacrificial Giving App. This free app can be downloaded on your phone, tablet or computer! You can fast from little things, such as a piece of pizza, a cup of coffee, or a movie and it will help you track the cost of each of these. You can then donate that money towards ending Bible Poverty.
A pizza fast that not only make an external impact on my body, but an ETERNAL impact on The Body. Yeah. I’m down with that.

Hey Clare – wow, what a creative connection you made: “A pizza fast that not only make an external impact on my body, but an ETERNAL impact on The Body.” Thanks for putting your heart and mind into how to help end Bible poverty.
