THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE
“LITERACY + JESUS = HOPE”
I am reading in a BIBLE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL NEW ZEALAND publication. (April 2013) It says there also: “800 Million people throughout the world cannot read or write which means that they cannot read the BIBLE.”

THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE
That’s the number of languages in the world that have no portion of the Bible. None whatsoever! And that figure represents about two-thirds of the world’s languages.
BIBLE TRANSLATION
Facts and Figures
-
There are 6,909 languages spoken in the world.
- There are 2,479* of these languages with all or part of the Bible – for many, that means just a book of the Bible or maybe the four Gospels.
- There are 451* languages that have a full Bible – 13 more than last year.
- There are 1,185* languages that have a full New Testament.
- There were 71 new Bible translation projects begun this year.
- It takes a minimum of 12 years to complete a translation of the full Bible.
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
- There are at least 250 different translations and editions of the Bible in English. The rest of the world is not so fortunate.
Reading that I am challenged to:
1. read the Bible even more and
2. support Bible translation.
