Becoming a Monthly Donation Partner
Monthly giving is a great way to allow us to plan for new Bible translation projects. We were blessed with the opportunity to begin 70 new Bible translation projects last year, but we currently don’t have the funding to meet the demand. We need the support of UK churches, prayer groups, and individuals to enable this vital global Bible translation work.
Here’s what your monthly giving can achieve:
£22/month – supporting a translator though one year of Bible translation training
£58/month – translating one chapter of the Bible into an indigenous language
£100/month – providing an indigenous church with 240 translated Bibles in their own heart language
There is such joy in putting a newly translated Bible into the hands of someone who has been waiting a lifetime for it. You can read about our recent mission to provide a church in Malawi with 10,000 Sena Bibles.
The Bibleless are waiting. We do not want them to wait any longer. Please partner with us today.

Fundraise for TWFTW
TWFTW UK has organised various sponsored events in the past. In 2011 Barry Funnell raised over £20,000 by hand cycling 1000 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats.
In 2013 over £3,000 was raised through a sponsored walk in Wales, tracing the footsteps of Mary Jones. (In the early 1800s, Mary walked 26 miles after saving for 6 years to buy her own Bible. Her story inspired the founding of The Bible Society.)
In 2014 we held a Swim for Scripture event which raised just under £3,000 for Bible Translation.
