What we do
OneBook opens God’s Word and unlocks better futures for people who speak minority languages and do not yet have the Bible in their languages.
Bible Translation
Nearly 1,000 language communities in the world—millions of people—do not have the Bible in their own languages.
​
Through locally managed and led projects, OneBook helps communities translate the Bible into their languages and local churches engage with God’s word.
Literacy-fueled Community Development
Literacy empowers communities to improve health, education, sanitation and economic opportunities, fostering holistic growth.
​
OneBook’s mother-tongue literacy initiatives begin by building relationships with local leaders and raising up language champions in the community.
​
Our Approach
OneBook focuses on local ownership, supporting national Bible translation and literacy organizations.
We work exclusively by supporting selected national Bible translation and literacy organizations that manage all projects in their countries. They equip community leaders and staff who lead, implement, and follow up.
Language communities deeply own all the effort and results.​
