End Bible Poverty by Sacrificing a Cup of Coffee, Company Urges

All over the world, 340 million people are without a single verse of Scripture today. More people live without a complete Bible in their language than without enough food and clean water combined.

Bible poverty is a big deal, one company affirms. “The Bible brings life, and for every day that passes, enough people ... die without hearing the Gospel in their own language,” The Seed Company, a Wycliffe Bible Translators Affiliate, said in a statement.

Their solution? Translate God’s Word into every language on earth, one sacrificial cup of coffee or tea at a time.

Partnering with several other organizations, The Seed Company is asking supporters to fast from the simple, everyday things – such as coffee, pizza or new clothes – and donate those unused dollars toward translating the Bible.

The initiative, called “The Campaign to End Bible Poverty,” is designed to engage Americans in addressing the spiritual impoverishment experienced by millions worldwide.

To make donations easier, a beta version of the free Web-based Sacrificial Giving App was created, accessible on both Apple and Android platforms. To read more, click here.
