OneBook is a small Canadian charity with a big heart and an even bigger vision: we want every person on earth to experience God’s Word in the language they understand best and be transformed forever. We believe this ministry happens best through locally led language development, Bible translation, mother-tongue literacy, and community development initiatives. Currently, OneBook is engaged in ongoing projects serving more than 35 language communities in seven countries across Africa and Asia. Since inception in 2009, our locally-led project teams have translated the New Testament (and one full Bible) in 50 minority languages. Our work is impacting more than 150 language communities and counting.
