Welcome to OneBook
Of the 6,900 languages spoken in the world, one-third have NO WRITTEN ALPHABET. Spoken by 340 million people—they are the poorest of the poor. Ignored and in the cracks.
We help provide the ABC’s – Alphabets, Bible translation and literacy, leading to Community development. We partner with national organizations in 13 countries, doing literacy and Bible translation in 107 languages, impacting over 25 million people. The Bible in the mother tongue, hand in hand with literacy, is the key to personal and cultural transformation. We believe they’ve waited long enough to hear God speak in their own language!
Current Projects
Oku
The priority for 2011 is to prepare the Oku New Testament for typesetting and to encourage ongoing literacy classes in the community. This project is sowing the Good Seed and anticipating an abundant harvest!
Guinea-Bissau Creole One-Story
We all love a good story. And the Bible is full of them: stories God chose to reveal Himself, His love, and His plan to save us. The goal of “Bible storying” is to share God's Word the Creole way. And you can help share the story of Jesus!
Aringa
After three decades of upheaval, suffering and war, the Aringa people of Uganda are finding healing. And you can give them the priceless gift of literacy that brings knowledge, dignity, and the opportunity to improve their lives.
Fodigwa
The team is working to enhance the people’s pride in their mother tongue, developing the language, and training mother tongue translators. Their prayer is for literacy and community development projects to open the way for Scripture translation and use.
