Don't Just Elevate Scripture in Your Home...
We have a language that we officially speak. It's the one we took composition and grammar classes on to better understand in technical terms. But our heart language? That's the language that's most familiar—sometimes it's the same as our official language, sometimes it's not. It's the one that our parents spoke to us as children or the one that our friends made jokes in as we grew up. It connects us in deep ways, building deeper understanding, trust and relationship.
Now imagine trying to connect to God and hear His promises in a language that didn't match your heart language.
For over 25 years, we have worked tirelessly to bring God's Word to the heart languages of the world. We've already engaged with 1,600+ languages through 1,300+ active local partners, and we continue to mobilize our thousands of prayer partners to actively intercede on behalf of the 100+ countries where we serve—transforming communities and lives.
Funds are used to locate, train and support local translators who are accelerating Bible translation in the medium that will resonate with their community, such as the printed Bible, audio for oral communities, and video for sign language.
Your gift goes a long way in getting the Word of God to people who desperately need the hope of the Gospel.
Over half of the world's population are oral learners. This means they primarily communicate and learn through means other than reading. We don’t want illiteracy to be a hindrance to experiencing God’s Word, so we provide audio versions and train Bible storytellers so communities can better connect to God's promises for them.
The printed Bible is abundant in many of our homes. Even unbelieving families have old copies lying around on a bookshelf somewhere. But that gift represents so much more to someone who has never seen the message of God’s Word in their own language. We translate, test, check, validate, and distribute so people can read it for themselves.
There are over 400 sign languages in the world, and each translation must be visually seen to be engaged. Technology allows us to answer the call for compelling communication that preaches the Truth. We are on the cutting edge of bringing Scripture to people who have historically been underserved. The Deaf community is one of the least evangelized people groups with under 2% who claim to know Jesus.
Our hope is to live in a world where zero people are cut off from the Bible. Where zero people groups lack access to the words of God in their own heart language. We believe that it’s possible for every language in need of Scripture to have a project started by 2025.
Through community efforts, local translators, and partnerships with other Bible translation groups around the globe, Seed Company is accelerating the spread of Bible translation at a pace set to make church history.

Witnessing this moment,
the Word of God coming to His children,
was one of the most profound, unforgettable experiences of my life.
