From Access To Engagement
Expanding Scripture Engagement Across Languages
Word For All exists to remove practical language barriers that prevent people from studying Scripture deeply in their own language. We support the localization and integration of reliable Bible translations and study tools so pastors, educators, and ministry leaders can study Scripture deeply and lead others with clarity and confidence.
Support Our Mission
Help expand Scripture engagement across languages.
Your support funds clearly defined, mission-driven projects that enable pastors, educators, and ministry leaders to study, teach, and disciple from Scripture in the languages they serve.
All donations supporting Word For All initiatives are administered by New Horizons Foundation, which provides charitable oversight, compliance, and financial administration in accordance with donor intent and applicable regulations.
Use of Funds
How your support is used
Your tax-deductible donations support clearly defined, mission-aligned projects that enable deep Bible study across languages. This includes the responsible licensing and integration of trusted Bible translations, the localization and quality assurance of study tools, and disciplined project oversight to ensure faithful stewardship and the careful handling of Scripture.
In some contexts, donor support may also be used to help ensure that pastors, missionaries, and under-resourced communities can access essential Bible study tools when affordability would otherwise limit use.
All donations supporting Word For All initiatives are made to and administered by New Horizons Foundation, an established U.S. public charity, in accordance with donor intent and applicable charitable regulations.
Our Mission
Word For All exists to enable deep Bible study and Scripture engagement across languages.
We focus on the infrastructure that equips pastors, educators, and ministry leaders to study, teach, and interpret Scripture with clarity in their own language—building on the progress of Bible translation and working downstream from it.
Through responsible licensing, technical integration, and language localization, we help make trusted Bible translations usable within modern digital study environments for real-world ministry and discipleship.
Problems We Address
The gap between Scripture access and Scripture engagement.
While Bible translation efforts have made remarkable progress, the tools required for deep study, teaching, and discipleship do not scale evenly across languages.
- Digital Bible study environments are designed primarily for English-speaking users.
- Licensing and integration costs limit the availability of study resources in other languages.
- The localization and technical work required to support deep Bible study is complex and often underfunded.
- Pastors and ministry leaders often rely on limited or fragmented study resources in their working language.
As a result, church leaders may have Scripture in their language, but lack the engagement infrastructure needed to study it deeply and teach it faithfully.
Our Approach
Practical, mission-focused support.
Word For All focuses on the technical and localization work required to enable deep Scripture engagement across languages.
- Localizing Bible study tools and interfaces for specific language communities.
- Responsibly licensing and integrating trusted Bible translations into modern digital study environments.
- Ensuring accuracy, usability, and faithful presentation of Scripture through quality assurance and review.
- Working with mission-aligned partners already serving global and multilingual audiences.
We work downstream from Bible translation efforts, focusing on what comes next: helping leaders study, teach, and engage Scripture with depth in their own language.
How the Mission Is Delivered
Word For All advances language-localization initiatives through a network of mission-aligned organizations that provide charitable oversight, donor-giving infrastructure, and program execution.
Together, these partners ensure that donor support is administered responsibly, applied with discipline, and translated into real, usable Bible study environments for language communities around the world.
